Community Centre
How community centres should automate WhatsApp
Your reception volunteer juggles hall hire quotes, yoga class signups, and "what time is seniors lunch?" in one afternoon. Vermoss Flow books hall slots against your calendar, enrols members in scheduled classes, and answers membership and hours questions so front desk time goes to people who walk in needing help.
Hall hire and class enrolments book online. Membership questions answered from a menu.
How this works at your scale

Small centre with part-time coordinator. Self-serve booking outside office hours.
