Booking software for Dorset trades and home services
From Dorchester to Bournemouth and out to the villages, ZipScheduler lets customers book by postcode and keeps your rounds sensible.
How it works here
Your postcodes are the front door.
A Dorset round can mean a terraced street in Poole in the morning and a farmhouse outside Bridport in the afternoon. Country lanes make travel the biggest cost in your day, so where you go and when matters as much as the job itself. ZipScheduler starts every booking with the customer's postcode. Add whole districts such as DT1, DT2 or BH15 once, give each its own days, and customers only see the times you are actually nearby. Anyone outside your patch is told kindly before they book.
- Area first
- every postcode you choose
- Local time
- availability in your timezone
- Pounds
- pricing and invoices
Customers enter their postcode before they see a single time slot. Outside your coverage, there is nothing to book.
Made to fit the market
What running a service business in Dorset demands
Generic booking tools ignore all of this. ZipScheduler is built around it.
Cover a whole postcode district at once
Add DT1 or BH15 and every address inside it can book. Add a full postcode for the odd farm or village you cover outside your usual area.
Area days for rural rounds
Put the Bournemouth and Poole districts on Mondays and the villages west of Dorchester on Thursdays. Your week groups itself by area instead of zig zagging across the county.
Home visits, quotes and consultations
Offer free home measures or quotes as a bookable service, with your own questions on the booking form, and every booking goes straight into your Google Calendar.
Pounds, VAT and your own wording
Show prices in pounds sterling, call them postcodes on your page, and write your own message for areas you do not cover.
Bank holidays in one step
Close for a bank holiday or your summer break across every district at once, without editing each area.
One booking cutoff, calculated correctly wherever the customer is.
Nothing to configure
Set up in Dorset without a workaround in sight.
Currency, tax wording, date format and timezone all follow the region you operate in, so your booking page reads the way your customers expect on the very first visit.
Priced in pounds sterling
Services, deposits and invoices all display in pounds sterling, with vat handled the way it is written locally.
Times your customers recognise
Dates and times render as DD/MM/YYYY, 24 hour, and availability is calculated in your own timezone rather than a server clock.
Every postcode supported
Add as many postcodes as you cover, each with its own working days, hours, slot lengths and daily limits.
Set once when you sign up. Every page your customer sees follows it.
Up and running

No installation, no onboarding call, no card until you decide to upgrade.

Questions from Dorset
Can I cover a whole postcode district like DT1?
Yes. Add the district once and every postcode inside it can book. You can still add full postcodes for individual addresses outside your usual area.
Can customers book a free home measure or quote?
Yes. Add it as a service with no price, ask your own questions on the booking form, and each booking appears in your Google Calendar automatically.
Can I set different days for different parts of Dorset?
Yes. Each district has its own working days and hours, so customers only see the days you are in their area.
What does ZipScheduler cost?
The free plan includes online booking for up to 3 areas. PRO is 24 US dollars per month, or 198 US dollars per year, and includes 300 areas, card payments and deposits, Google Calendar sync and the client CRM.
