Far exceeded expectations!!!

Overall I’m beyond happy with their services and all they have to offer! This truly does make a significant difference in our business and removes stress that would otherwise be a headache for us. Allowing to automate the process has been the most helpful thing.

PROS

Our rep [sensitive content hidden] were truly incredible and patient throughout the entire process. Having the “human” interaction for implementing this kind of a waiver made a difference and one that if it was not there would’ve changed the outcome. The fact that their communication is crystal clear helps tremendously and that for us was the selling point.

CONS

This is hard because we didn’t have bad experiences. In the first 2 days there were “glitches” but it was moreso on our end forgetting things that needed to be added on to the waivers and as a result having to reach out and get that corrected. Otherwise our experience has been fantastic!

Wherewolf is the easy choice

The Team here at EcoZip and I love using Wherewolf - we used to do the work manually so the upgrade is a life saver. Easy, fast, reliable and super efficient.

PROS

Wherewolf was extremely easy to connect with and super easy to use, the support team always promptly reply to any queries, the customer interface is also easy to use for all walk of life!

CONS

I can't think of any con's off the top of my head. Whenever we have any issues we create a support ticket which is promptly actioned. If the issues was not resolved right away then we are updated as the issue progresses to it's completion point. Maybe one con is where the system sometimes freezes; however I am not sure if that is at times our internet. I guess at times it take a while to sync, however again this could be out internet.

Bad fit for my company

I reached out to Wherewolf on the recommendation of a friend - because I wanted to move away from paper waivers and collect customer email addresses to use later with marketing apps like MailChimp. In retrospect I could have accomplished this in other ways at a much lower cost. I expressed concern that I didn't think Wherewolf made sense for a company as small as mine, considering the start up and monthly costs, and when you consider how few waivers I would be using every month. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], who seemed to listen initially, turned out to be another smooth talking salesperson in the end. I told him the size of my company and how many waivers a month I would be using. He agreed on a special price for me then promptly disappeared from communication and had the price changed on me. I explained that even with the discount I was paying over $3 per waiver. Customer Success Manager [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] accused me of insinuating blackmail when I told her I would cancel my account and share my experiences online if Wherewolf was not willing to honor the contract I had signed. Resolving anything took weeks and many back and fourth emails. I held off on cancelling at first b/c I had already invested in the initial start up cost and lots of time getting everything set up - I did not want the whole thing to be a total loss. A much better outcome would have been achieved if they listened better /didn't "push for the sale" regardless of my particular situation.

PROS

I like the liability waiver graphics (what the customer sees filling out the form), how customizable everything is, and the fact that you can collect demographic and email information for all clients that opt in. Their customized "request for online review" automatic emails look great too. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], who works tech support (contracted out it seems), works hard to resolve issues and is the most responsive person working for the company in terms of getting back to inquiries.

CONS

The value just wasn't there for me and my small company. The initial rate I was quoted, and that was written into my contract, suddenly changed after one year. I also had trouble transferring my client list to MailChimp in a useable format as well which was a huge deal as that was one of the major reasons I signed up for the software. After months with tech support we were finally able to get it to work. I had trouble reaching anyone by phone when I needed help - for example, then I wanted to cancel my account the phone number on my bill was to a non-working number. It took several emails to different people before my account was finally cancelled months, and hundreds of dollars, later.

Reason for choosing Wherewolf

I probably would have gone with a use based solution such as smart waiver had I taken the time to think about it more. The email responses to my questions about signing up with Smartwaiver were going to my spam folder. At the same time [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was pressuring me to sign a contract with Wherewolf. I wanted an alternative to paper waivers, collecting customer info, and request for online reviews emails so I signed the contract with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] / Wherewolf. I later found Smartwaiver had gotten back to all of my emails (they were in my spam folder) and has excellent customer service and a great pricing structure. Smartwaiver may not offer all of the features that Wherewolf does but they are the perfect fit for my needs and their software seems to have much fewer glitches than I experienced with Wherewolf.

Patrick Alexander, Rockaway

Just need to speed up the process, but otherwise good.

PROS

Data Collection, Intuitive Design, Few Connectivity Issues

CONS

We need a box for the east coast states that are small and hard to hit on an iPad or iPhone with your finger. The email you are sending has been finding its way into some spam folders, not sure how if that can be fixed. Please include a message about how the person who gets the initial email can forward it along to the rest of the group, or at least make it more prominent. We have some people filling it out themselves and then making the others do it in-store so let's connect the dots for people. The biggest thing we need to fix is the amount of time it takes to fill out the form. The app moves slowly when in between guests and if I had a 12 person group it will literally take 15-20 minutes before everyone is done, and that messes up my entire schedule for the day.

Vendor Response

Hi Patrick. Thanks for submitting your review. These are all items we can definitely help with. If your main objective is to increase the speed of your check-in process, we can customize the solution and remove any unnecessary questions you might be asking as part of your waiver. We can also change the language in the email that gets sent to the person who made the reservation so they have clear instructions to forward to the rest of the group. Can you send your requests to support@getwherewolf.com? Thanks, Phil

Fantastic

This software and the team behind it have been a great pleasure to work with and would highly recommend

PROS

this software is so great for keeping liability forms, the reports and information gained without having to store papers for years. The support team are phenomenal. I have never had a question unanswered, they are quick to respond and don't disappear. They even did a custom build for allowing pre-arrival sign in. This software also links to my booking software making it even easier.

CONS

It does have some constraints, but nothing I haven't been able work over. Nothing enough to make me unhappy.

Great product

We have decided not to upgrade to a newer version for now as some of the new features don't quite work for us, however overall our experience has been good and the customer service is excellent, they are quick to respond and happy to assist with any queries.

PROS

It's very simple to use, displays simply and clearly for our customers and the reporting on statistics is great

CONS

The map we currently use for customers to identify where they are from isn't the easiest to use, however we are moving to a drop down box option which will be much easier and Wherewolf have been helpful in getting this changed over for us

Great Product - best guest Management system out there!!

PROS

We enjoy the ease of the manifest, the ability to capture our guest's data (not booking data) to make more informed decisions on marketing spend and love the follow up email. We have gone from 27 to 13 on Tripadvisor ranking.

CONS

The set up cost was high but given the software has been so useful it has started to pay itself back.

Reason for choosing Wherewolf

The marketing suite and follow up emails.

Awesome! Blessing!

Tracking overall marketing effort and getting true analytical reports. Going paperless with liability waivers. Awesome Support staff.

PROS

Eliminates physical paperwork and storage, liability forms on iPad now going paperless, we can gather customers information, track all our marketing efforts, intergraded with Fareharbor for our online reservations, priceless for all my clients whom are currently using Wherewolf. Support team spot on and extremely helpful, supportive and instrumental in customizing our needs for different vendors working with Maui's visitor industry which is very unique.

CONS

Set up and customizing Wherewolf with each individual Vendor. Being aware of time difference between Hawaii & New Zealand :).

Reasons for switching to Wherewolf

Wherewolf is better as it can be customized for each different Tour operation from Horseback Trail rides to Ziplining Tours

User Friendly Product with Good Customer Support

Every applications has its pros and cons, but Wherewolf is run by a team of people who clearly care and want to make sure the application works well for you. We have all really enjoyed working with them.

PROS

The team at Wherewolf is very responsive to customizations and fixing various bugs. They worked hard to ensure the Wherewolf software met our particular needs. The application is easy to use for both our clients and our team.

CONS

There are some areas in which increased customization would be beneficial. I am sure this will be possible as the team continues to develop the application.

Reason for choosing Wherewolf

They were able to customize the product to our needs, and it fit well for surf lessons and rentals.

Smartwaiver is much better!

I switched from Smartwaiver with the selling point that this software sent out follow-up emails to all participants. It might, and I think it does. However, I am unable to run any report on whether those emails were sent. I am also not able to see if anyone opened said emails. I was also sold that this fully integrates with Fareharbor, however, it does not. I am unable to attach these waivers to the confirmation emails that are sent out to my customers from Fareharbor. This software is twice the price of smartwaiver and half as good. They set up a "custom front of house software specific to your company" but all they do is fill in a few photos. The check-in process is cumbersome and requires way too many clicks to check guests in. WIth smartwaiver, you are able to use your booking software (fareharbor) as the check in software, and can see from the Farharbor manifests that guests have signed waivers. Wherewolf is no good period, I would highly recommend smartwaiver over wherewolf if you are a fareharbor customer. If you do decide to try wherewolf absolutely don't pay for the year in advance to save money. You will regret it and end up switching to smartwaiver like I am about to and will be stuck with all kinds of headaches before doing so.

PROS

I like the reports you can generate. That is it

CONS

Too complicated as an easy check-in software Way Too expensive vs the competition Not user friendly if you want to edit things yourself Customer service takes too long Doesn't offer "two-way connection" with fareharbor SMARTWAIVER DOES

Reasons for switching to Wherewolf

I was told wherewolf offered all these additional options. I'm so confused on what they are talking it. It's not good at all!

User and Company Friendly

PROS

The Wherewolf software is very simple to use for people of all ages and technology ability levels. It is also simple for all office staff to quickly collect data on customers who are using the sign in. Anytime we have needed something updated on the software it is done quickly and efficiently. The graphics are also great and the icons next to each prompted question help to assist all persons who are not native English speakers.

CONS

The only issues we have had with the software has been quickly adjusted to our liking.

It’s OK

We used Wherewolf as one of our first waiver softwares. It maintained and reported what was needed from it. As we progressed our booking software opened integration lines with waivers however Wherewolf would not gain integration. After speaking to them and other softwares they couldn’t level up to the speed of Smartwaiver and their pricing

PROS

The company was great in introduction and helped customize a waiver for us.

CONS

The software is slow to integrate and keep up with technological advances.

CONS

Customers having to choose their location from maps is not intuitive for everyone and cause difficulty in choosing the correct location in smaller areas (states). Customers would be more likely to respond to text messages to complete their waivers vs the current email system.
