For trades and home services
Job calendar, dispatch calendar, family calendar
Bookings arrive from a dispatch system, a website form and word of mouth — while your actual day is already half spoken for.
What actually goes wrong
Overlapping job slots
Two systems both think 9am is open.
Travel and buffers
A slot that ignores drive time isn't really a slot.
Personal time gets eaten
Because it lives on a calendar the booking system can't see.
How LineMerge handles it
- Buffers before and after each job type, and a minimum notice window.
- Every calendar counts toward availability, including the personal one.
- Daily caps so a good day doesn't become an impossible one.
