Even the most feature-rich software can sometimes benefit from some tailoring. PHP Event Calendar is no different: to obtain optimal results for your organization, a certain amount of customization may be required. The extent of this customization will depend on a combination of your project requirements, the product’s current features, and your organization’s existing infrastructure and its extensibility.
Benefits of Customizing the Event Calendar
Customizing event calendar can allow end users to adapt more easily with their existing software tools and familiar UI elements. For developers, a customized event calendar provides comprehensive access to custom code, business logic rules, as well as consistent implementation which can be easily adapted to serve other clients or used as a basic platform by other developers. By combining these aspects of total control and flexibility, we can ensure that the software will meet your exact specifications, as well as a smoother transition as your organization becomes familiar with the tailored event calendar.
How We Do Software Customization
To ensure a successful outcome, we begin the PHP event calendar customization process by making a comprehensive study of your specific project requirements. We discuss with you over the finest details of each line item that needs to be built and prioritize the work to be done. We eliminate any ambiguities that might result in incorrect assumptions about how features should work. We even look beyond event calendar requirements on paper for any informal or undocumented processes that may indirectly have an impact on the use of the calendar.
Finally, we review the work and milestone with you at regular intervals to ensure satisfactory outcomes. As a client, you can help us with the customization process by providing valuable feedback early and often.

Case Study 1 – PHP Event Calendar, Vrezey Software
Vrezey Software helps medical practices spread over multiple locations maximize performance by having all data (operational, marketing, financial, booking etc) in one easy-to-use, integrated platform. Vrezey’s end-to-end software solution was designed from the ground up to provide real-time, accurate data to all authorized users in the network.
One of the basic requirements of any health care provider is a powerful, efficient, and versatile appointment calendar booking module. The PHP Event Calendar team worked closely with Vreze developers to create a custom-designed event calendar, a critical part of its patient booking system. It was then integrated into their comprehensive software platform which manages:
- Communications & Engagement Solutions
- Operational & Practice Management Solutions
- Medical and Electronic Health Records (EHR) Solutions
- Client Relationship Management (CRM) Solutions
- Appointment/Booking Calendar
Our custom event calendar is an integral part of the Vrezy software platform.
By incorporating our custom-designed calendar module, Vrezey Software can now provide an elegant solution to achieve the following benefits:
- Appointment booking at multiple locations
- Customization of available services at individual locations
- Efficient management of employee schedules
- Temporary restriction of appointments depending on available resources
