Pros

“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.”

“I like that it combines scheduling, payment processing, and client management in one system, which helps reduce the need for multiple tools.”

Pros

“I like that I have a central place to message my customers on an individual basis, with a well designed platform where I can keep track of individual conversions.”
MM

Matt M.

Director

“I can quickly assign chats to other users to help keep them organized as well as pin top conversations, and filter by a number of parameters.”

“I also like the addition of users under one account and it will show the name of who sent the message which is helpful when communicating with clients.”

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.”

“there are technical glitches, especially with the mobile app and booking system—things like sync issues, crashes, or clients having trouble booking appointments can be frustrating.”

“The fees for cancelation wotj the vendors and last minute changes are challenging sometimes because it is automatic the fees if you cancel even if your vendor says they won’t charge you”

Cons

“The only thing we don't like is that it doesn't integrate with our shopping cart or email provider. But for the limited amount we're using it right now, we're able to make it work.”

“Character limits in place for things such as spaces between letters means a simple SMS can be costly.”
