Staff Allocation
You define each specialist's specializations and availability. At booking, the system automatically assigns the most suitable, available specialist — or let the client choose themselves. Calendar conflicts are impossible.

Team and resource management — automatic allocation, shifts and occupancy reports
Coordinate specialists, locations and resources from a single dashboard. The system automatically allocates appointments to the most suitable available specialist and shows you real-time occupancy rates.
As your business grows, manually coordinating the team becomes impossible. 4appointments eliminates group messages and Excel sheets for staff schedules: each specialist sees only their appointments, the manager sees the full picture. Automatic allocation assigns the client to the most appropriate specialist based on specializations, availability, and location — no human intervention needed.
Four tools for efficient teams
Shift Planning
Each specialist's schedule is synchronized with their calendar availability. Shifts, days off, and vacations are reflected instantly — clients can't book when the specialist is unavailable. Schedule changes propagate automatically.
Occupancy Reports
Clear dashboards with occupancy rates per specialist, per service, and per location. Instantly identify unused slots, most-requested services, and overworked specialists. Data available for any period, with CSV export.
Multi-location
Manage all locations from a single account. Each location has its own calendar, its own specialists, and custom rules, but you have complete visibility and consolidated real-time reports.
Advantages
- Automatic allocation of the client to the most suitable, available specialist, with no manual work.
- Each specialist sees only their own appointments; the manager sees the consolidated picture.
- Shift planning, days off, and vacations automatically block slots, eliminating conflicts.
- Occupancy reports per specialist, service, and location, with CSV export.
- Multi-location management from a single account, with per-location rules.
Limitations
- Automatic allocation is only accurate if each specialist's specializations and availability are filled in correctly upfront.
- The number of specialists and locations may be capped on lower plans.
- Advanced reports and CSV export are available on higher plans.
- Syncing shifts with an external HR system requires integration with 4softhr/4mystaff.
Who it is for
Ideal for businesses with multiple specialists or locations that want to drop Excel sheets and group chats. Less necessary for a single independent specialist.

Frequently asked questions about team management
How does the system decide which specialist gets an appointment?
Based on the specializations and availability defined for each specialist. The system automatically picks the most suitable and free specialist — or you can let the client choose.
Can I manage several locations from the same account?
Yes. Each location has its own calendar, specialists, and custom rules, while you get consolidated real-time reports across all of them.
Do specialists see each other's appointments?
Not by default. Each specialist sees only their own appointments, while the manager has full visibility across the entire team.
How are vacations and days off handled?
You mark them in shift planning, and those slots automatically become unavailable for booking — clients cannot schedule when the specialist is away.
Can I export the occupancy reports?
Yes, in CSV format, for any period, broken down per specialist, service, and location.
