Ashley C.

Commercial Advisor

Pros

“I also appreciate the integrated communication tools, such as email and text messaging, which help me stay connected with clients and manage reminders effectively. While I am still learning all the features, the system already feels like a valuable tool for improving workflow and saving time.”

Hemi P.

Owner

“They allow me to stay connected with clients through reminders, promotions, and personalized messages, which helps improve client retention and reduce no-shows.”

Hemi P.

Owner

“Even during our busiest days, the system keeps everything flowing seamlessly, giving us the ability to focus on what matters most which is our clients and the quality of service we provide.”

Roy A.

Administration

Cons

“The Timely app has some bugs which should be fixed in next updates.”

Ritu G.

Scientist

“Not offering clients slots that are available, booking clients in slots that aren’t supposed to be available and open times in the diary are not showing to customers.”

Rebecca G.

Massage therapist

“The software is relatively expensive compared to some other time-tracking and scheduling tools on the market. While Timely provides some basic reporting features, it doesn't offer as many advanced reporting options as some other tools.”

Priyanshu J.

Manager

Cons

“I constantly experience issues with my cc flex machine not completing the transaction, which in turn for my clients that relay in using credit to pay for their services are not able cause of me to loose revenue for that day because now I have to wait to run the card or they pay in their next visit!”

David J.

Sole prop

“They also do not have a way to track back bar usage (business use of products) and it would randomly change our inventory and tickets.”

Amy H.

Owner

“That I dont get notification when someone cancels via txt and the appointment disappeared so I cant see who was booked there”

Rebecca B.
