Why institutes stay on Excel and three booking tools
Planity handles bookings, Treatwell the marketplace, Booksy mobile — none cover French institute loyalty and treatments My Account in native Woo.
The WordPress institute problem
Too many tools, zero unified journey.
An institute should not need three booking SaaS tools and a spreadsheet from day 1.
- Planity: bookings — client outside Woo My Account, limited loyalty
- Treatwell: marketplace — commission and platform lock-in
- Booksy: mobile app — outside native WooCommerce checkout
- Excel + WhatsApp: manual planning — no reminders or loyalty ledger
- Native WooCommerce: zero treatment bookings or institute loyalty
- No industry presets or JSON export for agency handoff
