Pros

“Since doubling our office space and increasing the number of clinicians that receive clients, The Receptionist allows us to know exactly when our client is in the lobby.”

Melissa B.

Clinical Director

“This is a simple to use sign-in software that helps keeps visitors well monitored and keeps the visiting process efficient and secure.”

Samuel G.

Administrator

“We also love how the iPad allows clients to leave feedback about their experience, providing valuable insights that help us continually improve our services.”

Samantha D.

Director of Operations

Pros

“I didn’t have to jump between a bunch of different systems to get things done, which made daily tasks a lot smoother and less frustrating.”

Leanne G.

Caseworker

“Overall, my experience with FacilityOS was mostly positive. Once I got past the initial learning curve, it became a really useful tool for staying organized and keeping track of daily tasks.”

Leanne G.

Caseworker

“Having everything in one system made work easier and helped cut down on confusion and missed details.”

Leanne G.

Caseworker

Cons

“A bit pricey.”

Sara W.

Owner

“Quite long to install and wasn’t as quick as expected”

Josh P.

Administrator

“We now have visitors getting addressed quickly, rather than standing around confused on what to do or where to go. Before they wandered our large lobby to find a bell to ring and I could tell they felt awkward and lost. ”

Adrianne C.

Sr. Project Assitant

Cons

“There were moments where the system felt a little slow or had more steps than necessary, which could be frustrating, but it didn’t take away from the overall value.”

Leanne G.

Caseworker

“Switching between FacilityOS and VisitorOS can be confusing for new admin”

Jeffrey E.

EHS Manager

“Some of the more complex settings can only be altered by the customer support specialists which can be a hassle.”

Rex B.
