How to prevent double booking of flats and shops

How double booking happens

Two executives work from different copies of the inventory sheet. One books a flat, the other has not refreshed and promises it to a second buyer.

Keep inventory in a single system that everyone sees in real time. A unit that is booked or on hold should be unavailable instantly.

Allow a short, visible hold while a buyer decides, with an expiry and a name against it. Freeze units that are not for sale.

Reconcile bookings against the inventory each week. Any unit showing as both available and booked is a signal your process leaks.

Manage walk-ins, bookings, demands and receipts in one CRM.
