Задача

Double‑booking of bridal jewellery consultation slots causes customer dissatisfaction and operational inefficiency.

Результат

The two‑phase booking pattern prevents double‑booking, ensures salesperson assignment, and maintains a personalized customer experience for high‑value bridal jewellery visits.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Customer requests a slot via WhatsApp. 2. System calls hold(slot_id, phone, party_size) to reserve the slot for 30 minutes. 3. Customer receives confirmation message: "We have held Saturday 4 p.m. for you. Our team will confirm shortly."
• 4. Staff reviews held slot, verifies salesperson availability, family size, and collection preferences. 5. Staff calls confirm(slot_id, staff_name, salesperson) to finalize the appointment. 6. System updates slot state to "confirmed" and records staff and salesperson. 7. Expire() runs periodically to free slots whose hold period has elapsed without confirmation.

Доказательства

Double‑booking that slot is a real problem.
