Kenect for streamlining client communication

We have had a very positive experience with Kenect. From being able to communicate via text, which has been so convenient for our clients, to sending Google review requests has been a huge success. We have increased our Google reviews by over 20 new submissions from simply being able to send a text with our Google button in it!

PROS

We love how easy it is for our clients to contact our firm via text, send pictures or documents, and submit lead information. We also love that we can schedule appointment reminders and confirmations to go out at the correct time for our upcoming appointments.

CONS

Some of the notifications are hard to find in Kenect. If we get several texts in one day, it can be difficult to see if a client has not received a response. They have updated the software so that we can filter messages that "need a response" which has helped a lot! Some of our contacts sync to every location making duplicates of their information.

Amazing asset to our daily business!

When the pandemic happened, we have to close our show room & do curbside service only. The Kenect Pay was launched at a perfect time for & we did full advantage. As we still navigate daily changes & challenges we use the Kenect platform & pay daily to help us with doing our daily business!

PROS

It was very easy to launch & get all our employees on line with it. The functionality is so easy! Kenect Pay is probably my most favorite feature.

CONS

The integration of the launch was very easy. Unfortunately it doesn't do all the functions when merged with our DMS, causing us to still have to switch out of the DMS and into web browser for Kenect. I also feel the app could use a upgrade/updates, it tends to have lag time with notifications & clicking them to open the messages.

Application works well for the most part.

Overall I do like the application. It is very user friendly and easy to maneuver. However, the things I mentioned above definitely make a huge difference if you are using iPhone VS. Android. I know for a fact that I have missed out on a lot of sales and leads due to this happening. It would be nice if the company coded it a little different to work hand-in-hand as it does with the iPhone software.

PROS

I think the software is very easy to understand and get used to. Everything is very straight forward and it definitely would be easy for even a beginner to figure out and use.

CONS

The first thing is a more user-friendly interface when using this application on an Android phone. Most of my colleagues have iPhones, and I have a Samsung S10+. We work in sales and when we get a notification for a new message from a customer showing interest in a unit it shows up on the iPhone in almost like a text format. They can click on it and it goes straight to the message and they can quickly respond. On the Android platform, I get a notification, but when I click on it it does not take me straight to the message. It just tells me that someone has messaged. I have to physically load the app, search for the customers name, and then proceed to respond. Even though this does not seem like a big deal, these messages are what you would call "first come first serve". So whoever responds to the lead the quickest gets the access to the lead. So I am constantly missing out on these leads just for the fact that I have to go through a couple separate steps to get to where I can respond to the message. One other small thing is it when I am responding to a customer and lets say I get another message from a different customer, if I click off of that first message that I was typing to read the 2nd customers response, the initial message that I was typing up is deleted. I then have to proceed to re-type the whole message. And sometimes this can be a pain if you took some time to structure the message properly and you have to completely redo it.

Kenect for messaging

good customer service, quick response and updates when new features are available

PROS

I like the text messages sent and received to our clients are preserved in their Clio client for preservation of the communications for each client and each file.

CONS

expensive, price point is high we bought this when Clio did not have a texting feature, now they do so we will more than likely not renew since we are already paying for a product that can provide these same features in the future

Reason for choosing Kenect

best features for what we needed at the time
