Save Time, Money, and Headaches

It is my one-stop shop and has led to great efficiencies with our wellness centre. I can't recommend Helmbot and the team around it enough.

PROS

My background is in electronic health record software for cancer clinics and integration with existing hospital systems so I have seen dozens of products over the years. All come with pros and cons for their specific niche market. From the business side of things they often require staff to touch 2-3 pieces of software on any given day leading to training issues, upgrade testing bottlenecks and worst of all inconsistency of care for patients/clients. The fact that Helmbot contains all the features you could want to run your clinic, health / wellness centre, without a bunch of one-off features built for specific customers is refreshing. All the features integrate together to give it its power. A robust appointment scheduler that is integrated into an online portal for customers to self-schedule, an instant messaging tool for internal communications, ample notepads to keep detailed accounts of every interaction, a POS, customer appointment notifications, inventory and order tracking, staff shift scheduling, a group logbook, resource management, task generators to make sure everything is done on time, and so much more. Upgrades are also seamless as the software is all cloud based and updates are rolled out regularly. Even contacting and communicating with customer support is built right into the platform. The time savings on training staff on 1 system instead of 3 or 4 is worth the price of admission alone.

CONS

Integration with third-party apps or other CRM or EHRs is limited however the team is constantly assessing and adding new features as demand dictates.

Reasons for switching to HelmBot

We used Mindbody during a trial month and had nothing but problems so we made the switch to Helmbot over 6 years ago now. We found the software was bloated with features that weren't relevant to our business and it demonstrated a lack of disipline with cutting features.

Powerful, Flexible, Best-in-Class Scheduling (And So Much More) Platform

Extremely positive, we actually wish we would've switched over earlier! The only thing that stopped us was the cost, since our facilities are large and the billing is per-room on the calendar, and thus the cost was more than double the next-most-expensive competitor.

PROS

Well-designed, terrific UX for both staff and customers, including mobile-optimized. Reporting is great. Customer Support is fantastic in terms of both accessibility (always get a very fast response without needing to wait on hold) and receptiveness to ideas to improve (and actually implementing them)

CONS

Cost - by far the most expensive platform compared to competitors, particularly for larger facilities since they bill on a per-room (per-service) basis. Would like to have more robustness in terms of ability to customize certain aspects, but is a slight con since you are able to control/modify the vast majority.

Reason for choosing HelmBot

Superior functionality, UX, and reporting, solving primary pain points with previous platform

Reasons for switching to HelmBot

Displeasure with former platform we were using (lack of reporting, lack of functionality, poor UX from the customer experience, particularly for mobile and gift cards)

Grateful for HelmBot

Overall, HelmBot has been an upgrade for our local business. Our clients enjoy the ease of scheduling and appreciate the clarity when scheduling and/or cancelling appointment times.

PROS

HelmBot is intuitive. We love how clients can easily navigate scheduling and purchasing of our products and services. We also love the wait list feature and how the system will reach out to fill in open appointments without our needing to do anything.

CONS

The cost is higher than other booking systems. Scheduling recurring appointments is not currently available, which we hope will change soon, as it makes running our business so much more efficient.

Reasons for switching to HelmBot

It was recommended so to better integrate with our website.
