I would stay away from this company. Not sure why the change, but over the past 2 years literally every level of the organization from tech support through to the CEO has shown complete lack of responsiveness, concern or interest in solving their most loyal client's most basic problems. Their incompetence finally drove us to cancel our accounts after over 10 years with them.

• Allows for non-human interface input and works with about any company software.
• Gives you a read on your business immediately
• Communicates well with your customers

• Sending out weekly, daily, and hourly appointment reminders via text, email and phone call.
• Their customer service reps are almost always available right when you need them, and are very easy-going and helpful.
• This service changes the game for our office! It sets us apart from many other offices who can't offer the services that we can with SR. I mean how many of you can currently TEXT your dental office directly?! We can! :)

• Eufora templates
• Marketing campaign to select from to build a whole years program
• A person to come into business to train employees

• Landline versus mobile and email. If a patient has a landline and an email or a landline and a mobile number it automatically eliminates the landline confirmation. Some of our eldery patients don't like or know how to text but they have a cellphone. I have a multitude of patients I still have to make a confirmation phone call to because SR won't send a landline call because they have a mobile number.
• Newsletter editing. Wish it was a little easier to edit. That being said I do love the overall selection and use of Newsletters.

We are constantly being contacted by comparable organizations. If Mindbody Online integrated a feature like Demandforce, we'd move over there to keep everything in one platform.

We save too much time with Solution Reach to turn back now.

Because I am all about customer service and they are right on it!

I do not have any alternative products to compare this service too. It was in place when I came aboard this company and I have no say in its continuation or replacement. As from what I can gather, there are many alternatives to this platform, but Demandforce is the only one I am aware of that runs in your system tray and is passively ran in conjunction with your accounting database.

Solutionreach, in my opinion, is more user-friendly. They are also very quick to offer a helping hand in areas that might stump us. I also love that unlike Demandforce when we were using it Solutionreach is always on top of things. If for some reason our server has an issue and they don't receive the upload they need with our information someone is on the phone calling me to let me know. This is not the case with all software systems most don't inform you, you have to call for help when you notice that it hasn't uploaded with the data. This could put you weeks behind on your correspondence.

• It's taken a lot of the reporting and guesswork out of the equation. That has saved us a lot of money.

• Increased revenue from appointments that may have been missed had they not received a confirmation or reminder call about an appointment. Able to fill that spot with someone else...
• Keeps our physicians in the forefront of the patients minds when thinking about healthcare for their child.
• We take pride in being a part of a family in assisting them with the care of their children. So birthday reminders and fun flyers or newsletters allow us to stay connected.
