An established clinic with hundred customers a day has been using manual booking system for years. As the number of customers keep increasing, the manual booking procedure becomes less adequate to tackle the need and records become very poorly organized.

To tackle the customer need, instead of building everything from scratch, an open source package called MRBS is deployed with customization.

What is MRBS?

MRBS is a free, GPL, web application using PHP and MySQL/pgsql for booking meeting rooms. It's similar in concept to Netscape Calendar, but much cheaper!
Some features:

* Web/Intranet based - Available from any workstation through a Browser
* Simple to follow, Web based options and intuitive presentation
* Flexible Repeating Bookings
* Authentication with your existing user database (eg Netware, NT Domain, NIS etc.)
* Ensures that conflicting entries cannot be entered
* Reporting option
* Selectable DAY / WEEK / MONTH views
* Multiple auth levels (read-only, user, admin)
* Multiple languages supported (translated to Catalan, Czech, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish)
* Stable and in use at many organizations
* MySQL and Postgres support
