Collected this week
One system
Diary, notes, invoices, payments and patient reminders stop living in five different places.
Rands, not dollars
Built for South African practices — ZAR pricing, local payment methods, POPIA-aligned from the start.
Your money, your bank
Card payments from patients settle straight into your practice account. Tabs never holds your takings.
The admin tax

There is a second job in your practice, and nobody is paying you for it.

Rebooking by WhatsApp at 21:00. Notes written up on a Sunday. Invoices chased twice. Reconciling an EFT against a name you don't recognise. None of it is clinical work, and all of it lands on you.

The usual setup
A paper diary, a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group
Notes typed up after hours, from memory
Invoices written by hand, chased by hand
No idea who owes what until month end
Patients phoning to ask when their appointment is
With Tabs
One diary the whole practice can see
Notes signed off in the room, with your own assessment form attached
Invoice raised and paid by card before the patient leaves
Outstanding balances on one screen, always current
Patients book, reschedule and pay themselves
What you get

Everything the practice runs on, in one place.

Not a diary with billing bolted on. Tabs was built as one system, so a booking becomes a note, a note becomes an invoice, and the invoice pays itself.

A diary that fits your week

Multiple practitioners, rooms and branches in one view. Recurring blocks for rehab patients, double-booking protection, and a waiting list that fills the gap when somebody cancels.

Notes you finish in the room

Build your own intake, consent and assessment forms — body maps included — and complete them in the visit beside the progress note, with outcome measures and ICD-10 codes to hand. Sign a note and it locks, with every change kept on record.

Invoices that close themselves

Raise the invoice off the appointment, take a card payment on the spot or send a payment link. Receipts, credit notes, statements and a debtors list that is always current.

Patients who serve themselves

Your own booking page takes appointments while you are with a patient. In the portal they see their bookings, fill in forms before arriving, follow their exercises and settle invoices.

Home programmes they actually do

Build a programme from the built-in exercise library, send it to the portal, and see what was ticked off between visits — so the conversation at the next session is a real one.

The business, on one screen

Bookings, income, outstanding balances and practitioner activity, with exports your accountant can open. Packages, memberships, classes and retail stock are handled too.

How the money works

Patient payments go to your bank. Not ours.

This is the part most systems are vague about, so here it is plainly. When a patient pays by card in Tabs, the money settles directly into your practice's own bank account. Tabs is never in the middle holding your income, and there is no waiting for a payout run.

You add your practice's banking details once, in settings.
Patients pay by card in the room, from a link, or in the portal.
The payment lands in your account and the invoice marks itself paid.
Recurring plans can be collected monthly off a saved card.

Card processing is handled by Paystack, a licensed payment provider operating in South Africa. Their standard transaction fee applies and is paid out of your own revenue — Tabs takes no cut of your patient payments.

The patient's side

Your practice, open after hours.

Every practice loses bookings to a phone nobody could answer. Tabs gives each patient a way to sort themselves out — and takes those interruptions off your desk.

1
They book on your own page
Service, practitioner, time — five short steps, no login, on their phone at 22:00. Only genuinely free times show, and two people cannot take the same slot.
2
They are confirmed and reminded
A confirmation email arrives immediately with a secure link to move or cancel the booking themselves. A reminder follows before the appointment — you choose how far ahead.
3
They arrive prepared
Send your intake or consent form as a secure link and it is completed before they sit down, instead of on a clipboard in your waiting room.
4
They keep going between visits
In their portal they follow their exercise programme, tick off what they have done, view invoices and pay online.

Who it's for

Ten allied health professions, set up on day one.

Choose the professions you practise when you sign up — one or several — and each starts with an initial assessment form written for it, 45 to 64 fields built around how that discipline actually assesses, which you then edit into your own.

Built to be trusted

Patient records deserve better than a shared drive.

You are the custodian of some of the most sensitive information a person has. We built for that from the first line of code, rather than bolting a compliance page on at the end.

Read how we handle your data →
Your practice's data is walled off
Separation is enforced in the database itself — all 87 tables carry row-level security — not just in the screens you see.
Only the right people see clinical notes
Six roles and six permissions you can set per person. Psychology notes stay with the treating therapist unless access is explicitly granted.
Signed notes cannot be quietly changed
Signing locks the note and fingerprints its content. Corrections are dated, signed addenda — the original stays visible.
Everything material is recorded
96 kinds of action — from signing a note to recording a refund — are written to an audit log with who did it and when.
Pricing

One price for the practice. Not per screen, not per feature.

Every plan includes the whole product — diary, notes, invoicing, payments, portal, forms, exercises and reports. What changes is how many practitioners you have.

Straight answers

The questions practice owners actually ask.

Does Tabs submit claims to medical aids?
No, and we would rather say so plainly than let you find out later. Tabs records each patient's scheme, plan and membership number and prints them on a proper invoice alongside ICD-10 diagnosis codes, which the patient or your billing bureau uses to claim. There is no electronic switch to Discovery, Bonitas or the others, no real-time benefit check, and no procedure or tariff code list — so if you bill schemes directly today, keep the bureau or billing tool that does that.
Where does the money from a card payment go?
Into your practice's bank account, directly. You add your banking details once and payments settle to you, not to us. Tabs takes no percentage of your patient revenue — our income is the monthly subscription on this page and nothing else. The card processor's standard fee applies and comes off your own takings.
Can I bring my existing patients across?
Yes — patient records and past appointment history import from a CSV file, with a preview so you can check the mapping before anything is written. Old invoices, clinical notes and documents do not import, and your future bookings need to be entered in Tabs. Most practices go live at the start of a month for that reason.
What happens to my records if I leave?
They stay yours. You can export a patient's complete record at any time, and if you cancel, your data remains readable while you get it out. We will not hold your practice's history hostage to a subscription.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Tabs runs in the browser on the computers you already have. Patients need nothing at all — booking, forms and the portal all work from a link.
Do I have to pay for a year up front?
No. It is month to month. Start with 14 days free without entering a card, and cancel whenever you like — you keep access until the period you have paid for runs out.
Is my patients' information safe here?
Every practice's data is walled off in the database itself, not merely hidden in the interface. Signed notes lock and fingerprint. Identity numbers are encrypted. Ninety-six kinds of action are written to an audit log. The full detail is on our security page, written plainly rather than in legal fog.

See it on your own practice's week.

Half an hour, your real workflow, no slide deck. We will show you exactly how your diary, notes and billing would run in Tabs — and tell you honestly if it is not the right fit yet.
