About Business Box
Business Box is booking software for small service businesses in Japan. Publish a booking page with one link per appointment type, each with its own length, price, questions and hours, and customers book themselves into your real availability. It stays in step with Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook (including Microsoft 365): existing events block out times, and each booking is written into your calendar with a Google Meet or Microsoft Teams link. Take card payment in yen before the slot is confirmed, straight into your own Stripe account with no commission, or show the price and collect it in person. Japanese public holidays, including substitute holidays, close your diary automatically. Booking pages, confirmations and reminders work in English and Japanese, following each customer's language. A REST API with webhooks is available on every plan. The free plan has no time limit and needs no card; taking card payment online is ¥1,200 a month, tax included.

Madoake
Madoake brings booking pages, seminar and webinar registration, and forms together for B2B teams. Booking pages show times your team is free in Google Calendar or Microsoft 365. When someone books, Madoake creates the calendar event and a Google Meet or Teams link, then sends a confirmation and reminder automatically. Seminar registration handles multiple sessions with capacity limits and deadlines, Zoom Webinar and Teams webinar registration, attendance imports, and paid tickets through Stripe. Forms can send respondents straight to a booking page. Every booking, registration, and response keeps its lead source, while tracking links show clicks and bookings by channel. It works in English and Japanese and connects to Slack, Teams, Notion, Brevo, and Google Analytics. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI assistant over MCP to set things up and get answers. A free plan is available; paid plans start at ¥2,500/month with annual billing. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card.

Swimvity
Swimvity is booking and administration software for private and mobile swim teachers in Australia. Each instructor gets a booking page that offers families times suited to the instructor’s schedule. Before showing an available time, the system checks teaching hours, existing lessons, estimated travel time between pools, pool access hours and, optionally, busy times from Google Calendar. Lesson requests require instructor approval before they are booked. Swimvity supports weekly and fortnightly recurring lessons, including holidays and pauses, and presents the instructor’s day as a route with drive times. Instructors can keep each swimmer’s level and notes, record payments, and create invoices and receipts. Families pay instructors directly; Swimvity does not take a commission. A single-instructor plan is A$39 per month and includes a 30-day free trial with no card required.
