Cons:

It still has a lot of work in order to become what it can be, but for now it does the job. The app version needs improvement

BarnManager is our one-stop organization center for our horse boarding business.

We love BarnManager and have found it to be the best fit for our needs at our retirement boarding facility!

Functionality

Pros:

We use BarnManager to keep farrier records, vet visit and vaccination record, as well as client information and contracts. This enables our staff to quickly search for last farrier dates, past records, and more. We also use the conversations feature to communicate messages and photos with clients, and have found this a nice way for staff and clients to keep in touch without having to search for cell phone numbers. Customer service is amazing; any time we have a question they are quick to answer in the chat feature and we are so thankful for amazing attentive service.

Cons:

We have not been able to use the calendar and feed feature as much as we envisioned as these are rapidly changing day by day on our busy ranch, and we are not sure if it integrates with our preexisting calendar apps we use on our phones. We probably could use a refresher course on new features to be honest! We also have not been using the integration with Quickbooks as we have an accountant who helps us with that already, but see the integration as a valuable feature and we would totally use it if we did not already have an accountant.

Reasons for choosing BarnManager

The ease of use, it had exactly what I needed and less of what I didn't, less clutter. Some of the other apps had so many features we got lost in them!

Reasons for switching to BarnManager

BarnManager had more of the features we needed for our day to day functioning- like client communications, storage of farrier and vaccination records, etc.

I used Barn Manager when I worked for a show jumping stable (approximatley 25 horses).

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The biggest benefit to this software is the cloud-based storage of information. I think one of the major limitations of stable management to date is the lack of organization and communication between different members of the staff and stable partners (veterinarians, therapists, etc). A cloud-based management system fills this significant management gap by keeping the entire stable team connected with real-time information regarding each horse. I think the possibility of `data-mining this information in the future has exciting implications for optimizing revenue, removing cumbersome practices within the stable, and better understanding healthcare practices.

Cons:

The major limitation is the unintuitive nature of some features. In the equestrian community, individuals who have very limited time perform much of the day-to-day management. Thus, anything they perform must be very user-friendly and efficient. I know some stables have tablets for staff, but ideally, most staff would prefer to work off smartphones, so an easy to use smartphone app is needed. Further, a better way to sort through horses is needed. For example, one groom may only need data on a few horses, instead of having to scroll through data on many horses. Also, I find the program can be cumbersome. It is unclear what information is vital to have versus nice to have. A way for individual stables to highlight key information may make the staff's job either. Another nice feature to have would be to work with some big feed company to include information about their diets, such that for the feed tab staff can simply select feeds from a drop-down menu.

Vendor Response

Hi, Tim. Thank you so much for your feedback. We are working hard to address all of the concerns that you mentioned. Some of them, such as easier sorting through horses, have been resolved with recent updates. But we know that we can always get better. Thank you for taking the time to share your insights with us. We are constantly making updates and improvements thanks to feedback from our users, and we look forward to sharing those updates and improvements with you soon.

Pros:

This is an easy and intuitive software product. It was easily implemented, volunteers quickly trained, and the on-going use is simple. It provides all necessary information at the hands of every volunteer who needs it from care techs to evaluators to the adoption coordinator to our founder.

Cons:

The only draw back, but I understand is in the works, is to easily download and generate reports. Data is often needed for grant writing and the details are easily accessible but a report has to be had designed. Downloading the data would be much easier and less time consuming.

Reasons for choosing BarnManager

Easy to use and available on a smart device which keeps information at your fingertips at all times. Good detail tracking without being overcomplicated. They have a great support team and it is free for a non-profit equine rescue, which I did not know to begin with that was a big added bonus.

Reasons for switching to BarnManager

The old system was outdated. It was not robust and did not provide for varying levels of access. It was not readily accessible on smart devices

Pros:

I like the ability to store farrier appointments, vaccines, and vet records (with the attached PDF files). It makes it incredibly easy when clients ask "when was the last time my horse was shockwaved" to look it up online instead of flipping through our paper calendar.

Cons:

I LOVED the older version of the website- to be honest I have the old platform open in my browser right now. The new website makes it harder for me to use the website for what we bought it for- keeping those vet, farrier, vaccination, etc appointments organized. Not all of our files were transferred over from the old platform onto the new, so the new platform has little to no use to us. I love the idea of the whiteboard and the communication aspects, but it's easier for us to communicate via text instead of using an app platform that I don't want all of our employees to have access to. The old platform was wonderful and easy to navigate, and I have a much harder time entering information or accessing files on the new platform.

Vendor Response

Hi Lauren, Thank you for your review! We are working diligently to make the new platform something that our longtime customers are able to fall in love with. The calendar section and appointment scheduling is a huge part of the platform and something that we are definitely using customer feedback to tweak in future updates. While we have multiple user roles and permissions for each role in the platform now we are also working on further expanding those so you can tweak exactly who has access to what information. We appreciate the feedback, it is the most helpful way for us to make a platform that you will love!

I love that Barn Manager is bringing tech into the barn.

I love that Barn Manager was created and is run by a rider. That said, they are accessible and open to constructive suggestions on how to constantly improve their product. They are not just a company trying to make money, but are fully invested in providing a product to improve the efficacy of the people that create the horse world that Barn Manager knows and loves on a personal level. I one hundred percent support them.

Pros:

Provided that you have employees who are consistent in using the software, it's so helpful to have all the information in one place. With employee turnover, and simply all the different persons who are required to keep the barn running, its key to have a reference. If you can reference horse history for your farrier/vet/owners etc, this is not only saving time but increasing knowledge and overall awareness for the wellbeing of your animals as well as your organization.

Cons:

I have heard often that people, and myself included, weren't taking the time to update information and files, given the chaotic and physical demands of the job. Few barns have a designated office person sitting at a desk all day. The new mobile app is making this more accessible!!

Thanks for your review Elizabeth! We especially love to hear that you found our team accessible and positive to work with. This is one of our main goals as a company, and our customers are like partners to us. We are heavily invested in the mobile app and trying to make BarnManager integration into our customer's routine as seamless as possible and we love to hear feedback!

Pros:

I love being able to keep track of all the horses. The archives are great for horses that go out on lease. I still have all their information but don't have to have them in the day to day records.

Cons:

The new software still has some kinks and I am still learning how it works. As of now horses are not in alphabetical order. I would like to be able to click and pick which vet, farrier ect as you could in the original. Also the owner section seems to have a glitch. You can not scroll through and pick an owner.

Vendor Response

Update - 10/4/2018: Thanks again Molly! I just wanted to let you know that in addition to being able to sort horses in alphabetical order you can also now choose your owners, vets, and farriers. Additionally, we now have a completely new Contacts section for owner information storage. Orginal: Thanks for your review Molly! The update allowing horses to be sorted in alphabetical order is out now, so that is all fixed up. More updates are coming out continuously that should address the other shortcomings that you noted. We appreciate your feedback!

Pros:

I help get our riding barn to select this software. It helps our secretary at the barn list all of the competitions and keeps them on alert. She puts in all of the riders and the times they are scheduled to have a riding lesson and with which instructor. The horses they are to ride is listed as well and a print out is posted weekly for all of us to see. We have it set up to know which horses have vet visits and which horses need certain extra care during those vet visits. The finances are put in and the accounting dept still is able to pay bills and see what is due. So far we have been using it about 3 months and have multiple users on it but have found it to be a lot less work than writing on a whiteboard and hanging in the barn.

Cons:

I haven't found anything that I don't like about it.
