Solid, feauture rich booking system and service to partner with

When I started looking for a booking system I was unsure whether we were going to be able to find one that fits our clients' needs. We offer bespoke services to the corporate sector and occasionally are required to recommend a multi-venue booking system. We found Booking Live who have set up several systems to meet our clients needs, they also provided account training which is really important to us. Overall we're happy that the system reflects our professionalism and allows our clients to make bookings with ease. We've received quite a lot of positive feedback from our clients so far and I would therefore thoroughly recommend this software to partners and colleagues hence we decided to leave a review. PS I can't vouch for others who have commented here but personally the customer service we've received us has also been second to none - no complaints.

Hi Jonny, It's great to hear such positive feedback, we're so happy to have helped your business and look forward to working with you in the future! Many thanks, Caitlin Roxburgh Marketing Executive BookingLive http://www.bookinglive.com

Great system and support!

We have saved so much time with this system. Allowing students to book their exams online and make changes to their booking online has saved a great deal of admin time. Students can also book when they want without having to wait for a response within our opening times. The system has been a great success for us!

PROS

Flexibility to set up lots of products on different dates/times with different capacities. We also helped introduce the option to allow changes to bookings within the online account, which has been a massive benefit to us!

CONS

Reports are quite rigid. We have requested the option to create reports, so we can export what we need, as opposed to 3 different reports that we have to cross reference.

Vendor Response

Hi Rebecca, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and we are glad to hear you are happy with your system! Best wishes, Bethany Dunster.

Wish we didn't choose them

Lots of hope and great expectations that didn't come though. Should have been a 3 month project and it took 15 months with lot of heartache, extra money, and a finished product that doesn't perform.

CONS

Service, project management, increasing prices, continued delays.

Vendor Response

Hello Tim Can you confirm you're an existing client with us? The only record of a Tim we have no longer owns the business owning the website referred to and I have been in contact with the owners of this website to confirm they are happy with the level of service we provide and the booking system is working well. We appreciate the feedback given, but it sounds like the system being talked about here was 2 years ago and therefore this is not a fair representation of the product today and the level of service we provide to our customers. Over the last 2 years we have taken on more staff and improved our process and procedure in many areas. Kind regards Robert Cox Business Manager Booking Live

We have used Booking Live to manage our customer memberships, events and merchandise.

Generally we have found this platform and Booking live to be an essential part of our business. The system is reliable and the content editor side is one of the better CMS systems that i have used, allowing for a lot of customisation within the templates. Its easy to manage images, content and extra features. The biggest problem with the booking side of things is the size and power of the system. We only need a thin slice of this potential - meaning that creating events and managing our members is a lot more complicated than we would like. its frustrating to have to go through so many steps to get new events up, or add dates to existing event types. That said, the system works consistently and we have had very few instances of the system failing. All in all, a good solid product. As an aside - the Paypal integration could be a bit better, but I understand that a lot of that is down to Paypal.

Vendor Response

Hi Matthew, Thank you so much for leaving such a kind review. We're happy to hear you're enjoying your Booking Live experience thus far and hope you continue to utilise our booking software's potential. Kind regards, Vinnie Booking Live www.bookinglive.com

BookingLive provide extremely powerful software and have a very friendly and professional customer service team.

Thoroughly recommended. Great service, system and partner. Thank you to the Booking Live team!

BookingLive an all round brilliant booking tool

Bookinglive is a great tool for any business who requires a booking tool. I feel both the admin and customer user experience is brilliant and they are always updating new features etc. Having tried many different booking platforms I felt BookingLive was the most comprehensive one on the market for a great price.

PROS

Feature upgrades happen quiet often

Good data capture and reporting

Booking Live is really great at allowing us to capture as much data as possible at the point of booking. As teachers are often hard to contact, it's great to get as much from them as we can while we have their attention. Really good setup, quick and easy. The new system has been well received by our parents and teachers alike.

Terrible support

I was first taken by the great features this solution has, being in the trial period, I had a few questions, which I felt their support was not keen to answer. After requesting an answer to my question twice, I gave up. If you're an entrepreneur, leave it. You'll just end up chasing them. Customer service is very poor.

PROS

CONS

Bad support

Vendor Response

Hi Alex I'd just like to clarify that support is only available to customers on the Enterprise, Business and Pro plans as you can see here: http://www.bookinglive.com/online-booking-system-plans-pricing/price-comparison-chart-uk/ As you were not a customer, you wouldn't have access to support. I also have no record of you (Alex) contacting us via email, website or forums. I'm not sure if you confused us with another company but if you have any questions regarding the product, please contact us via our enquiry form or telephone and I'll be happy to help.

Nice bunch of people! And a very powerful system

Came to bookinglive for a new system as I was previously with a competitor. They were more than happy to sit down with me and talk through my requirements without charging! The system itself is very flexible and while it may not look as nice visually, it's certainly packed with features I've not seen with any of the competition.

PROS

We have recently gone live, with some glitches, but this is fairly standard for software implementations. The Booking Live team are very approachable and friendly. Support has been excellent.

so far so good.

We looked at many products. Only BookingLive/Mango could build what we wanted. From point of contact to our website going live was about 5 months. We had some special requirements which they understood and delivered the same time. We paid extra for "out of scope" reports but these now work fine. So far we've had many positive reviews from our customers.

The way all booking should be done

If you can think of a process you have internally that is curently managed by a person using a spreadsheet or any other form of static record that needs to be manually update and therefore isn't a real time booking system you need to engage Booking Live to demonstrate the way it can and should be done.
