plannen.nlplannen.nl is a trusted Dutch way to let customers book themselves. Like most tools, it looks at time, not place. Schedulinq schedules on travel time and works both on location and from a fixed spot: it only offers customers times that keep your day tight. Below you'll read honestly what each tool does and doesn't do.

Anyone can book any open moment in your calendar. plannen.nl only checks whether you're free — not where your customer is or how far you'll drive.
The result: you bounce criss-cross across your service area — one appointment here, the next all the way across. Appointments only end up close together if you get lucky.
Before a time becomes visible, Schedulinq factors in travel time. If an appointment doesn't fit logically between your other appointments that day, the algorithm hides that slot.
So the customer only picks from times that keep your route tight. Your appointments cluster in the same area by themselves — not by luck, but by an algorithm.
