Lynqpod › Use cases

What practices actually use Lynqpod for

Practices rarely buy software because of a feature list. They buy it because one job is taking too long, costing too much, or quietly going wrong. These are the jobs Lynqpod is bought to do.

By job

Working out what associates are owed

Private and plan income, lab and material charges, adjustments and the practice's own commission terms, computed from the appointments and payments already in the practice management system. Every total opens to the rows behind it, so a query takes minutes instead of an afternoon. More on pay and commission.

Filling chairs that come free

Cancellations are reported to Lynqpod within a second. Patients who said they would come sooner are asked automatically, and the first to answer takes the slot. More on no-shows and cancellations.

Letting patients book without ringing

A booking page per clinician and one for the practice, working from real free time rather than a form that lands in an inbox. More on online booking.

Answering patients on WhatsApp

One number, answered by an assistant that can book, move and cancel, and hand over to a person the moment it should. More on WhatsApp.

Knowing which adverts bring patients

Not clicks and not leads: booked and attended appointments, tied back to the advert that brought them. More on marketing.

By role

The practice manager

Month-end stops being a week of spreadsheets. The day's work arrives as a queue: booking requests to approve, chairs that came free, patients worth a call, bills to match.

The principal or owner

One place to see what each clinician produced, what the practice spent to be found, and where the diary is leaking. Pay terms are written down once and applied the same way every month.

Reception

Fewer phone calls, because patients book and confirm themselves. The jobs that need a human are in one list instead of scattered across a diary, an inbox and a phone.

Groups and multi-site owners

Each practice keeps its own database and its own address. The group sees them side by side. More for groups.

What Lynqpod is not

• Not a replacement for your practice management system. Dentally stays the record. Lynqpod reads it and gives it back work it cannot do.
• Not clinical software. No charting, no notes, no imaging.
• Not a marketing agency. It measures what campaigns produce; it does not run them.

Common questions

Do we have to move our data?

No. Lynqpod reads from your practice management system and keeps its own copy for speed, but that system stays the record. Nothing is written back to it unless you switch straight-through booking on.

How long does it take to see something real?

A read-only connection and one month of history is usually enough to produce payslips you can check against the ones you already issued. That is the honest test.
