What if? A lot of great ideas start with that question. What if communication was easier? What if there was a way to connect skilled professionals across different regions to clients in need of their services?
What if someone built a platform that helped farmers and rural communities instantly access valuable medical advice without having to take a trip to town or lose the whole day in the emergency room? Well, that would be great. The only thing is: who's going to build it?
A simple solution
Well, how about you or someone similar to you? A person who knows what it's like to live in the countryside and understands the realities firsthand. What would you name the platform? Maybe you could call it something like "What's Up Doc."
Maybe you decide to make the service multi-purpose. This means it's a one-stop shop where people living in rural communities can book appointments virtually or over the phone to speak to a pharmacist, a nurse practitioner, a virologist, or a general practitioner.
Saving time and maybe lives
"What's Up Doc" would have features like routing forms and round-robin booking. These tools would help to ensure that users are connected to the right professional for their needs as soon as possible. This would be amazing for the municipalities and communities that sign up because it would help to ensure that individuals were no longer faced with having to choose between providing for their families and investigating a medical issue.
The reason why this would no longer be the situation is that finding out if a medical-related problem might be larger than it appears would just mean putting aside a few moments to open the app and book a time. Users wouldn't have to potentially waste gas and lose essential working hours just because something might be wrong.
The great thing about this app is that it would also be multilingual. This means that people who speak French, Spanish, or Hebrew would be able to match with professionals fluent in the same language.
A reality check
The only question, though, is how is this going to happen? You might already have the connections you need to attract service providers through professional networks you're part of. You might already know how a certain degree of funding is going to work because you have experience collaborating with charities and NGOs. What you might not be sure about is the scheduling aspect. How are you going to build a product that's essentially similar to Cal.com, but that instead of operating on an individual or team basis, is instead the backbone of an entire service?
A way forward
Well, you don't have to wonder any longer because we have a plan exactly for this type of situation. Cal.com doesn't just cater to teams and individuals; we're also developer-friendly. We love empowering innovative ideas and approaches that make a difference. If you have an idea for a product that requires calendar scheduling infrastructure, then all you need is a platform account.
Platform subscribers have access to everything they need to simply and efficiently integrate our product into their product. The platform plan allows you to fully white-label whatever you need to, and in many ways, it is as easy to use as Stripe Elements. Using the platform plan means you don't have to develop solutions for managing time zones, automations, and availabilities from the ground up. Instead, you can redirect the time and dollars that would be spent on that type of R&D to something else.
Now, you might be wondering, what is this going to cost you? Is it going to be an arm and a leg? No, absolutely not. In fact, you can get started for free, and when you're ready to launch, we have paid options that are available for only $299 a month.
So, if you have an idea that's become a plan, that's ready to be a product, and you just need a pre-built time and calendar scheduling solution, then all you have to do is click the link below to get started.
