Appointment scheduling system

The present invention relates to an online appointment scheduling system. The system is configured to register a client (e.g., doctor) and at least a first and second vendor (e.g., sales representative) with the system. The system receives from the client a set of rules for vendor appointments. A client schedule of available appointments is generated that complies with the set of rules. The client schedule is accessible by the first vendor, to allow the first vendor to book an appointment. Once booked, the appointment is designated as a pending appointment. The system then requires that the first vendor confirm the pending appointment within a confirmation window and, where upon confirmation, the appointment is designated as a confirmed appointment. Alternatively, if the first vendor fails to confirm the appointment within the confirmation window, a notification is sent to a second vendor of a now available appointment.
