There is so much functionality. I love that rebooking is so easy as are refunds and amending bookings and payments.

Above all, I want to reach an international audience, which has been improved by fareharbor in an attractive way.

The product more than delivered on this aim and has given some added value boosts through integration with the likes of Google, TripAdvisor etc.

So far so good, happy to use it and great team behind, helping us to improve our business online.

The ability to save a portion of each payment to cover refunds is especially useful.

Fantastic software that seamlessly integrates with your site.

I've felt very valued as a customer with FareHarbor, with issues often being solved within 12 hours. All support staff have been pleasant, and I'm glad I use FareHarbor.

The effectiveness of my systems and processes have been improved by 100. The website design and 24/7 support have been more than expected.

How streamlined, intuitive, and effective the software is designed. I greatly appreciate the ease of checking in customers, along with every step of the customer's experience.

Customer service was excellent for installation and has been great for trouble shooting ongoing issues. Backend of the software is quite intuitive.

I thought it was overreaching to think that after submitting my information that I would be up and running in a week. I was gladly proven wrong.

Finally, the customer focus and highly responsive account managers and support personnel make this a no-brainer for me to recommend to clients in my business & technology consultancy.

Ease of use (and when it's not, customer service will do it for you). Works on phone, not an app, but with a mobile browser which work great.

The technical support is very efficient and professional, helping in the creation of the products and in the best visibility of the website.

The customer service is fantastic, they implements the functions and help me to get my targets and improve more business with my company.

Personalized setup, excellent customer support, integrates to many OTA (Tripadvisor/Viator, Google Reserve, GetYourGuide) for easy central booking management, free advice to optimize website and more.

I have yet to discover any issues with the software, which could be described as a dislike.

It was easy to use, and the interface was great, very easy to understand and get all the information required quickly and easily.

THe software can be suitable for all activities needs. It is very powerful and you have a quick overview on all the booked activities.

With the myriad of considerations, having such friendly assistance standing by is a great aid.

Now Fare Harbor is single handedly destroying what we worked so hard for. I have spoken with several representatives of the company.

It's a great benefit to having three different departments' events processed through one system. The biggest challenge we face with it now is wanting it to speak to other systems.

API integrations, free website design, customization of the dashboard and ease of booking for the customer.

We do receive some complains from our customers about extra fee using FareHarbor, but that has nothing to do with the overall experience.

We have been very satisfied with Fareharbor and it's excellent team who are always ready to help us with any changes or questions.

Great, easier booking, reduced staff time dealing with bookings, easy to move bookings or refund if needed.

I can not cancel the whole tour, but need to cancel every customer singular. That means if I need to cancel a tour with 40 people I need to cancel every single customer.

There is also the inability to delete several bookings for the contact during the same Order. This is annoying and time consuming when the order has 10+ bookings.

The team at FareHarbor made the transition to their product super easy. They listened to our requirements and configured the product to accommodate everything required.

They made a awesome website. Besides that, they gave good advice and were always very kind and helpful.

Their unethical behavior of stealing a hosting customer from a referred client.

Its easy to use and does everything-the online booking facility is great.

The ability to customize it in so many ways. We have a Laser Tag attraction that we needed to take reservations for in order to follow safety procedures due to Covid.

I integrate with Stripe and Paypal so my booking and checking out process is seamless. I love the fact that everything is digital and I am 100% paperless and compliant for GDPR.

Really glad I moved from Schedul to Ovatu best decision.

Not much possibly too long numbers when buying vouchers I find adding treatments sometimes confusing for me we could have a choice of background or seasonal i.e. Christmas Easter summer etc.

Works seamlessly, super reliable, clients love the online booking, but most of all the team are great.

The online booking is a great feature and ever growing area of our business. Very customer friendly and integrates well in the system.

So far* inability to integrate with Square. I prefer it to Stripe, which does the job in the intervening period, and I've been advised that Square may be in the works.

The customer service was super helpful. I wouldn't have been able to customize it to my needs without their useful guidance.

It is the lifeline of my business. The booking reminders that are sent automatically are brilliant and certainly saves cancellations.

Just the odd fidly bit-But its really straightforward.

This software takes the pain out of running my business, from managing bookings to automated client contact, social media and back-end reporting.

Easy to navagate value for money your always at the end of the telephone when we need or you make an appointment easy to navigate through love the reminders for my clients keeps them up to date.

This software is super easy to use and manage. Once it has been setup it pretty much runs itself which gives me time to get on with my business.

It's so easy to use and the customer service is fantastic, if ever help is needed someone is on hand very quickly to solve any problems.

Great software and brilliant customer service.

I don't like the inability to block out a specific day. You can block but it still allows you to book over it.

The cost compared to other similar systems is fantastic and as mentioned all support and training provided is excellent.

Integration with website and Facebook page. Ability to send group emails to different customers depending on demographic or tags.

So easy to use, to set up (amazing customer service support with integration of data from previous system).

Intuitive with 100% dedicated support. The OVATU system is enjoyed by both staff and customers.

Leaving it too long before I got OVATU as I was using google calendar and had no way of tracking appointments.

The simplicity of the set-up, online booking and ease of access for my clientele is fab. Customer Service is second to none.

M truly so thrilled with the service I’ve received from ovatu, I’ve already recommended this programme to other colleagues.

Cant fault it one bit, id highly recommend to anyone needing or looking in to an online booking system. Having looked into a few, Ovatu has came out on top and ticked all my boxes for business.

Even when there were slight hiccups for me setting it up, customer service (I have dealt with where amazing!) cleared it up so fast.

Seriously outstanding support (and the product is great too!).

Unable to set up more than 1 set week (I work shifts). No shop option for customers to buy products online.

I like the option to set rotas depending on the current situation and for events such as Christmas. Also having a full list of treatments with prices that I can tweak for individual bookings.

The pricing is very affordable and, for everything that is included, is a bargain.

On the payment screen theee are too many steps if this could be broken down to a simpler version of cash / eftpos then paid it would be much simpler.

The support team have been totally awesome,  they imported all my old appointments from my old system, so i have full client history. Always responded sometimes within minuets.

I love the great customer service, the step by step help guides, the fact that everything is in one plae at the click of a button.

Any assistance that is needed, not only are they more than happy to help but the speed in which they do this always amazes me.
