BookSteam vs. JRNI

To schedule single contact (like a welcome or monitoring call) and highlight other services like a specific one-off webinar or recordings to watch. To provide more regular scheduling like a series of calls/classes.

If at any time you have a problem, they will be there to help you, and because the software is simple to use and you can rapidly become accustomed to it, I would strongly recommend it. The software helps a great deal with your requirements, and it keeps getting better over time. They provide excellent enterprise support and are able to construct extremely customized systems in response to customer requirements.

• Syncing BookSteam schedule with my iPad calendar. Whenever appointments is made online, it shows up in my iCal.
• Payment integration. We set it up so when clients schedule appointments online, they are required to leave a deposit, otherwise they can't book. This cuts down on clients who are not serious about showing up.
• SMS reminders. Clients receive automated sms reminders which almost eliminated no shows.

• Very flexible.
• The different types of event and ticket options you can provide are far more advanced than some of the other booking systems available
• The technical support was second to none and very quick in responding.

• Might be a more complex tool - needs its learning curve
• The possibility to use it as a way to provide classes or webinars in series may be a bit complicated

• Quite a few of our clients book several places per course date in one go. Their feedback is that they don't see anywhere where they can write the names of the course attendees. It's quite usual where the one who books the courses in Bookingbug is not the one attending the course. I would like to see this improved so that it's clear where the client can input the attendees' names.

Booking Bug meets the requirements of our business, and allows us greater time to do what we do best - dealing with clients and providing phenomenal service. Why would we change, when Booking Bug adapts so well to our needs, and their support team assist us so efficiently?!

It would have been 10 were it not for some feedback from clients re multiple bookings.

I tried to use few other scheduling systems before but I always thought they were somewhat incomplete, something was always missing, from design point of view to missing features. For me it's always about ease of use and how everything is organized. I can say that BookSteam got it all figured out and I recommend it

I have used TidyApps. It's good, but Bookingbug has a lot more useful features. With other systems, I have no control on the setup or once courses are set up, to amend them is very cumbersome. Bookingbug provides easy and least time consuming ways to do the above. Support is reliable. I very rarely ask for assistance, but when I do the response is on time/quick and good. I feel confident that I'm talking to a person who has good attitude to customer support and who knows what they're talking about. I've always been happy with the response to my queries from the beginning. With other systems I've used in the past, support was not quite so easy to get.

It's the only system I've come across where courses can be added very easily. If I had 10 courses to begin with, and suddenly I needed to set up 100 or more, I can do this in a very short period of time. All redundant steps have been eliminated by the clever design.

• Customers are happy as they can book themselves online any time.
• Our staff is happy as they have their own access.

• The fact that clients can book themselves online has reduced pressure on our staff and allowed them to book out of office hours.
• Our clinic staff have more data for each client, and thus are better prepared for each appointment.
• Moving and amending appointments has significantly increased employee efficiency, allowing the team greater time to deal with other items.
• Customers are sent important information prior to their appointments, and customer satisfaction regarding the whole process is greatly improved.
