Great Business Tool

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It has helped me a lot so far!

Pros:

Really nice way to have all your clients in one system.

Cons:

Can be confusing especially on the customer face, when signing up for the first time. I commonly get questions about the schedule as they cannot see it before they sign up for a package or membership.

A good looking product that still has some development needed

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: The support staff, or specifically our point of contact, has been very responsive, helpful, and helped implement developments directly related to our request to the entire product. However, the software clearly still has bugs, and is run by developers, not consumers.

Pros:

It is a good looking product, and appears very professional from both customer and business ends. It has a lot of functionalities, and has the foundation to eventually be able to handle everything a business might need as far as management.

Cons:

Many of the features are limited, i.e. it has a payroll tracker, but no payroll integration, or it has accounting functions, but not ones that are actually usable from an accounting perspective.

Upper Hand for facility owners

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: The pricing is steep in comparison to the features.

Pros:

I love the ease of setting up programs and clinics. The software is great for creating clinics with easy to understand prompts.

Cons:

The software features are not robust enough to manage a facility. The reporting function lacks features to easily capture daily sales. The mobile reports feature doesn't exist. The software is great for clinics but cumbersome for recurring classes and front desk check in.
