Pros

“It provides a comprehensive set of tools for appointment scheduling, client management, payment processing, and marketing, all within a single platform.”
KL

Kate L.

Sales

“However, from a true multi-location business operations standpoint, our experience has been very different. When managing multiple teams, front desk staff, schedules, client communication, and payment processing across locations, reliability, flexibility, and offline accessibility become critical.”

Carlos B.

Owner

“Easy appointment scheduling, useful customer management features, online booking options, reminders help reduce missed appointments, practical tools for managing daily administrative activities, convenient for businesses that handle many appointments.”

Planning and Sustainability Professional

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.”
HP

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.”
HP

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.”
RA

Roy A.

Administration

Cons

“They can disrupt operations across multiple teams and locations for an entire day. When your business depends on software for scheduling, client management, and payments, there should be a dependable backup or offline mode available.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Carlos B.

Owner

“My biggest complaint is that if you try to export multiple appointments the site will freeze and turn black (which is crazy, especially when you're trying to save data).”
VT

Vani T.

President

“It lacks any functionality suited for industrial asset management, complex technical maintenance, service contracts, or engineering BOMs.”
RC

Ron C.

Engineering and Maintenance Leader

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!”
DJ

“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.”
AH

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”
