Metrics that matter: how to know if your schedule is working (for real)

2026-01-01

If you don't measure, you just "feel". And that's an expensive problem.

Many businesses live like this:
“I think we are full”, “lately there are more cancellations”, “Tuesdays are slow”.
But a full schedule doesn't always mean profitability.

6 metrics that give you real control

1. Real Occupancy Available vs booked hours. The king metric for staffing.
2. Cancellation Rate How many appointments drop? If high, check your reminders.
3. No-shows Clients who don't call. The highest cost for the clinic.
4. Avg Booking Lead Time How far in advance do they book? Key for revenue forecasting.
5. Top Services Which treatments are most profitable vs which just fill time?
6. Peak vs Off-Peak When are you overstaffed or understaffed? Optimize shifts.

Practical example: data-driven decisions

If you see that Tuesdays 12:00–16:00 are off-peak and Thursdays 18:00–20:00 are saturated, you can:

  • Move team availability.
  • Push off-peak hours with a specific offer.
  • Open an extra professional during peak times.

Conclusión

Our app includes automated schedule metrics so you know what is happening and where to act. Less intuition, more control.
