# FieldSlot

> Online booking software built specifically for field service professionals.

## What is FieldSlot?

FieldSlot is an online booking platform designed for tradespeople and field service professionals. It allows plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, locksmiths, cleaners, handymen, and other mobile service providers to accept bookings 24/7 through a simple shareable link. Customers can self-book appointments without calling, and professionals receive instant notifications.
