Executive summary
A leading London gynaecology practice was running its booking, communications and marketing on three different tools — each requiring manual handoffs. Redian Software designed and built an integrated Zoho stack (Bookings + CRM + Campaigns + Social) with Deluge-scripted automations connecting the patient's journey end-to-end. What had been three full-time admin tasks became a single dashboard.
About the client
A high-end gynaecology practice based in central London serving a private patient base. Quality of patient experience — from first booking to follow-up — is core to the practice's reputation.
The challenge
Patient bookings, records, communications and marketing operated in isolation. Patients were retyping information, follow-ups were inconsistent, and the practice lost visibility into the funnel between enquiry and procedure. The practice manager spent most of her week shuttling data between systems instead of running the practice.
- Need to simplify patient booking and scheduling processes
- Requirement to streamline patient communication and records management
- Necessity to automate social media management
- Manual workflows reducing operational efficiency
Our approach
Redian designed a unified Zoho stack mapped to the actual patient journey. Bookings created CRM records automatically; status changes triggered drip email sequences; social media was scheduled and reported from one place. Custom Deluge scripts and webhooks tied it all together so the practice manager only had to look at one screen.

Why this matters
Private medical practices live and die on patient experience. The administrative load — bookings, follow-ups, marketing — typically falls on a single practice manager juggling three or four tools. Automating it isn't a nice-to-have; it's the difference between a manager who runs the practice and one who runs systems.
What this unlocked
The practice now operates with the efficiency of a much larger group. New patient onboarding, recall campaigns and social media run on automation, freeing the practice manager to focus on patient relationships and growth.
