Excellent's calendar enforces conflicts at the database: a time-overlapping confirmed booking for the same space cannot be saved at all — not a warning to dismiss, a save that will not happen. Around that hard core: tentative holds with expiry and challenges, turnover buffers between events, per-location operating hours, and a group calendar that shows every location's bookings on one screen — with an iCal feed for the calendars your team already lives in.
Double-booking prevention is a database constraint, not an alert someone can click past on a busy Friday. If it would conflict, it does not save.
Place a tentative hold on a space, give it an expiry, and let the system challenge stale holds — so dates stay honest and hot dates don't rot under dead tentatives.
Buffers between events count as time the room is taken. Back-to-back means back-to-back on purpose, with reset time accounted for.
The portfolio calendar lays every location's bookings side by side; each location keeps its own working view. Same data, right altitude.
Subscribe from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook via an iCal feed — bookings appear where your team already looks.
A warning asks a busy person to notice it. Excellent enforces the conflict at the database layer: a time-overlapping confirmed booking in the same space cannot be saved by anyone, on any screen. The failure mode — two parties booked into one room — is structurally impossible.
Yes. Holds are first-class: they carry an expiry, can be challenged when they go stale, and convert to confirmed bookings in one step — at which point the hard block protects the date.
Yes. The group calendar shows every location's bookings on one screen, and each location has its own view for daily work. Spaces, hours, and buffers are set per location.
