Inspire overview

What is Inspire?

Inspire is a management software designed to help businesses streamline operations related to online booking, marketing, payment processing, and more. It offers an email builder, which enables businesses to create brand-specific emails by adding a logo, text, images, and shareable links on an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface.

Stakeholders can utilize the client cards module to store and view important information including contact details, communication preferences, interactions, and purchase history on a unified platform. It provides a built-in Inspire Payments solution, which lets employees accept payments through any method, such as debit or credit card processing, check transfers, gift cards, and more. Administrators can use appointment book to handle staff scheduling and access employees’ daily, weekly or monthly schedules in a calendar.

Inspire facilitates integration with Clover, a point-of-sale (POS) system, which allows administrators to track inventory and sales information, and directly send receipts via emails or texts. Other features include automated text and email reminders, wait list management, client consultation forms, inventory management, membership accounts, user permission control, reporting, and more.

Key benefits of using Inspire

• Inspire includes role-based permissions, which allow administrators to grant and manage data viewing and editing rights for employees.

• Supervisors can set up break timings, create future appointments, and add custom messages or notes to the built-in message board for staff members.

• Inspire lets organizations design personalized marketing emails with custom logos, text, links, and images to establish brand identity with customers.

• Users can configure notifications to send automated text or email reminders about upcoming bookings.

• The application allows managers to view communication history, past purchases and appointments, service notes, and other client data on a centralized portal.

Pros
“We've used STX since 1989 or 1990 so I have a great understanding of the software and the company. The software looks great, it's easy to use and the few features that it includes, work great.”

“The tech support has always been amazing (I spent long phone calls with Brenda!) I have never had any glitchy software or viruses. It has always been super easy to teach new staff members.”

Cons
“The money we had to spend to switch to STX I believe we already have gotten back just because of no pop-up windows, no error messages or tech support wait times.”

Co-owner

“The lack of evolving with the newer features that are out there.”

Manager

“That it crashed and when it did you have no way of seeing the books. Also it is difficult to set up open ports for accessing the hub when not on site.”
