What are we doing and why?

We’ve redesigned Matrix Booking with an emphasis on simplicity and usability. It now adapts to work on any screen size, so you can view it on mobile, tablet, or desktop. We’ve also added and improved key features to help you make and manage bookings more efficiently and effectively. 

The front end of our new redesign has been completely rebuilt to make it a smoother, faster, and more accessible experience. It also lays the foundations for future innovations as we look to make Matrix Booking even more intelligent and intuitive.

What’s changing for you?

Below are the actions, features, and functionality that have changed or been moved in the redesigned Matrix Booking:
