Currently she uses a wordpress website which takes bookings (via woocommerce I believe) and she manages all of the back-end manually using excel spreadsheets. This back-end approach was sufficient when she had just a few locations to manage but it&#8217;s becoming unwieldy as her business has expanded (she now operates courses for 18-20 people 6-7 times per year in 15 locations ie, lots of courses and people to manage!). So we&#8217;re looking for a more automated way to help out. Some requirements mostly include the following:<br \/>\n&#8211; Automated contact management: once a client has booked a course (event), then this information is captured and stored for future use eg, clients should be tagged so all of those who booked a course in a given location can be notified before it takes place<br \/>\n&#8211; Automated workflow: for each course, there are a series of admin steps which need to be monitored and tracked (eg, contacting clients and instructors) so we know what&#8217;s completed and what&#8217;s not (via a &#8216;to-do&#8217; list)<br \/>\n&#8211; Automated email notifications: notify clients and teachers about an impending course<br \/>\n&#8211; Calendar sync: all course dates on website should feed into a master admin calendar<br \/>\n&#8211; Course management: should include a waiting list<\/p>\n<p>Can The Events Calendar and\/or related apps able to meet our needs?
