The Client is running a Healthcare service company for organizations in Kuwait. Everything is done manually; people visit and book clinics manually and verbally. The client wanted to move their appointment booking system from a traditional pen-and-paper format to an online system that they could all manage and update, and that would allow their clients to book appointments online from their website. The client also wanted to import all their existing client data into the new system.
