Built-in CRM for service providers

Know every client, every booking

Every booking automatically creates a client record with contact details and booking history. Add notes, track preferences, and build a real relationship with repeat clients.

Client management on every plan.

A simple CRM that actually fits service work

No sales pipelines, no lead scoring, no bloat. Just the client information you actually use.

Auto-created records

Every client who books is added to your client list automatically. No manual data entry, no spreadsheets, no lost contacts.

Contact details

Name, email, and phone number captured at booking time. Edit manually at any time. Tap to dial or WhatsApp from the client profile.

Booking history

Every booking is linked to the client profile, cancelled ones included, and the cancellation reason shows on the booking. See how often they come back and which services they pick.

Private notes

Add notes to each client: allergies, preferences, hair history, special requests. Visible only to you and your team, never to the client.

Address and follow-ups

For work at the client's place, their address sits on the profile with a Directions link. On Pro, switch follow-up messages off for one client without touching anyone else.

POPIA-aware

Client personal information is field-level encrypted. Clients can request their data or deletion under POPIA; Booklink provides the tools to honour those requests.

Every booking builds your client list: contact details, history, and notes in one view.

In one paragraph

Does Booklink include a client database?

Yes. Booklink includes a built-in client management system (a lightweight CRM) for South African service providers. Every client who books through your Booklink booking page is automatically added to your client list, with their name, email, phone number, and booking history captured and linked to their profile. You can add private notes to each client (allergies, preferences, special requests), keep staff notes on individual bookings, call or WhatsApp a client from their profile, and see their full booking history, including cancelled bookings. The client database is POPIA-aware: personal information is encrypted at the field level with per-account encryption keys, and you can delete a client yourself when they ask. Unlike general-purpose CRMs built for sales teams, Booklink's client management is designed for how service businesses actually work: no pipelines, no lead scoring, just the client information you use in your day-to-day work.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add clients manually?
Yes. You can add clients manually as well as letting bookings create them automatically, which is useful for existing clients whose details you want in Booklink before they book online.
Can I see repeat clients?
Yes. Each client profile lists every booking they have made, so you can see at a glance how often they come back and what they book. The client list shows each client's name, email, phone number and the date they were added.
Is client data POPIA compliant?
Yes. Client personal data is encrypted at rest with field-level AES-256 encryption and per-account keys. Booklink provides the tools to honour POPIA data subject rights such as access and deletion.
Does Booklink stop a client booking the same class twice?
Yes. A client cannot take a second spot in a session they are already booked into, and Booklink warns you before you add a client to a session they are already in. On your booking page, a returning client sees their upcoming bookings on the same device.
