Saskatoon-based software company Coconut has stated that its recent partnership with Google will enhance its customers’ experience.

The company, which provides appointment scheduling solutions, is confident that its product can drive efficiencies, growth and value. Recognising that customers’ needs are constantly changing, Coconut’s platform provides an agile suite of data collection methods.

The collaboration will mean US-based customers can book appointments directly via Google using a ‘reserve with Google’ feature.

“Creating frictionless opportunities that facilitate customer engagement is our focus,” said Katherine Regnier, Coconut Founder and CEO, in a press release

“Today’s consumers expect fast, convenient, digital experiences, so the ability to book appointments directly through Google Search is set to be a game-changer and we’re excited to bring this to our clients.”
