Scheduling software has become a big part of remote teams workflows in the last few years. What a good financial services scheduling software does is automate your appointment booking. This can be useful in banks, credit unions, investment firms and financial advisors alike.
Using a scheduling software can reduce no shows, save time on booking, and replace back and forth to organize appointments. Essentially this means that your team can share a link, and your customers can directly book appointments for when suits them. Which makes processes much easier than having to manually organize meetings.
Your clients will also benefit from a good scheduling software. A platform like Qwil allows your clients to directly book meetings without having to arrange prior. It means you can engage with your clients, and they can feel more engaged. Leading to greater efficiency, customer loyalty and retention. Technology in 2025 is how we build strong client relationships.
Qwil does everything that a modern scheduling software should do, and more. From chat, secure document sharing, video conferencing and e-signatures, unify all your client communications in one easy to use platform.
So what should you look for in a scheduling software? Well there is a whole host of key features that you should consider when looking for any software solution.
The first thing to consider is, will the platform make your life easier? Or just give you one more thing to think about. The key benefit of Qwil is that it does everything you need to communicate with your clients. From a chat conversation, directly into a video call, sharing secure documents and more. All of this with meeting scheduling directly from within your Qwil profile.
Qwil integrates with your existing calendar. Whether you use google or outlook, you can ensure that you are never double booked due to systems that don’t work together. That means that it also works with your existing appointment reminders as per your Google or Outlook setup.
You can also control your different meeting types, titles and lengths. As well as the ability to set intervals, and working hours. Giving you control of when your clients can book in with you.This ensures your workflow will be set up exactly as you need.
With Qwil, the most important thing in the platform is the client experience. Qwil not only brings all forms of communication into one place, but it makes it familiar and easy. So how does a client book in an appointment with you?
Well there are two ways. As a unified communication platform, you may be discussing with your client to suggest that you sit down for a meeting at a convenient time. If this is a special type of meeting, or a specific length, you may have potentially created a specific event. In which case, you just select your link and share it as a Qwil message. You also have a general link attached to your Qwil profile. That means you can allow clients to book a general meeting with you at any time.
As a financial services company, you can service your clients for things like mortgage advice, wealth planning, and reviews simply and easily, all from within Qwil. You can also use the secure chat to share documents, and prepare anything you need for the meeting.
Many leading scheduling tools have a lot of existing integrations. Linking in with your emails, communication tools, document sharing. With Qwil, the need for all this goes out the window. Qwil does all of the above in one place. Not only can your clients easily book appointments with you, but they can send you a message, sign a document or video call all within one easy to use platform.
Qwil works across multiple platforms, with multiple teams. With access control, you can not only control who sees what, but also who sees who. Meaning your clients will only be able to book appointments and communicate with people that you allow them to.
You can access Qwil on your browser, mobile or desktop PC app. Meaning your clients, and you, can manage your appointment booking on the go. Meaning not only unified, simple and secure communication, but also flexibility to. Never miss a message or an appointment, with all your client communications in one place.
Client Management and Acquisition

Being able to bring a prospect into a branded, secure environment where they communicate, sign and send documents, and book meetings with you directly shows professionalism and boosts trust.
By being able to tailor this onboarding experience to be as simple as accepting an invite for just one platform, means that less prospective clients fall through the cracks. Being able to easily engage builds loyalty and loyalty then breeds longer term client relationships.
