Quick support, dev team, and good community.

Have been using them for a few months in my cleaning company and they have been fantastic. Quick support, quick dev team pushing new features, and a solid community.

PROS

How versatile it is at different company sizes. It is a software you can really grow with.

CONS

The initial setup was tough and took a long time. There are so many features and settings that at first it is a little overwhelming.

Reasons for switching to BookingKoala

Degradation in quality of the product, forcing users to use their own payment processor, and lack of continued quality support.

Best moving service software hands down

I benefitted from reducing office staff and saving more money. Also I save personal time from doing extra work on the side.

PROS

I was used to doing everything the old school way of handing out flyers with my phone number and having customers call to book their moves, I dreaded this every time because of the people who would shop around for quotes and waste my time. Then I hired office staff to do this but it still wasted time and now money. I looked for alternatives that would solve this problems and no software really had it ALL for me until I found BookingKoala. From packages to provider and customer logins and to the reports section I have everything I need and more in one system. My customers can pay online and I can pay the movers all from within the same system. No more large amounts of cash or checks that I need to go directly to the bank to deposit.

CONS

I have been lucky enough to be in the Beta testing group and got to experience the software before the general public. Although there were some minor glitches those were to be expected. So I cannot say there are things I like least about this. Although the pricing could be cheaper.

Vendor Response

Faith, thank you so much for the kind review. We are excited to have you be part of the beta testing group.

BookingKoala gave my cleaning service the JOLT it needed

I love BookingKoala on so many levels it's kind of scary. My business was not doing great at all before I used them, when I first started out things were great but then they kind of flat lined and then it just went down. I started looking for a software to help with scheduling and I also got a bonus because of the reports section. I could track everything I need in there.

PROS

The first and foremost thing that I have to mention is that the customer support is extremely nice, helpful, and prompt. There has been no customer service that I have experienced like this before! Now to the software itself, the scheduling is a DREAM and I literally don't have to worry about overlapping bookings or any missed bookings. The customer and provider logins are so so so nice and all my customers compliment us because of it.

CONS

I find it hard to find things that I don't like about it because there is just so much I am in love with. For me not being a coder or even a super tech savvy person the embedding process was hard for me but they assisted me with it, (actually they did it for me). There are times I find it hard to find a function to disable or enable but after some time I find it.

Vendor Response

Hello Paige, thank you so much for the kind words and we would like to thank you for being a valued customer of BookingKoala!

Best in the game!

I started my little cleaning company with zero prior experience and had a ton of questions. BK's support staff is as good as it gets, quick responses and if I called and left a VM they would call me back the same day and often straight away including weekends and evenings.

PROS

The platform took a little while to get comfortable around but the support team is fantastic and held my hand throughout the process.

CONS

Nada.. love these guys! Would highly recommend.
