Future Forward Software!

We previously used several software solutions for different areas of the business, but we have been able to migrate all of these business areas into the Gladstone product suite. This has made our overall processes and management more efficient as we have all of our business streams in a single database.

Functionality

Pros:

Many of our business streams are managed within the Gladstone product suite, so it's imperative that we can access the data in as much detail as possible. The reporting functionality (eyeQ) is comprehensive and enables us to effectively analyse our business streams in a streamlined and accurate way, which benefits the entire business.

Cons:

The initial Plus2 platform hadn't had any major developments in recent years, which was disappointing. However this was due to all of the developments that were being made to create the Gladstone 360 environment, which is being developed and improved regularly.

Reasons for choosing Gladstone

There was no other software solution that was versatile enough to manage as many of our business streams as the Gladstone suite can. Gladstone has been our main CRM supplier for nearly 20 years.

To be fair my personal experience was somewhat challenging as our internal infrastructure was possibly not capable of managing the software product which led to a plethora of issues.. I feel that maybe our server capacity and internal structures should have been thoroughly vetted by both Gladstone and our IT before we ran with a software product that relied on a strong/vast server capacity. The use when everything was finally resolved (bar a couple of outstanding bugs) was brilliant. I will maintain, as I always do, Gladstone tech support are fantastic and were nothing but patient, understanding and helpful. You have some outstanding support staff!!

Pros:

The ease of use - on a basic level for day to day operations this application works across all user levels from the more nervous to the most capable. Each user trained has been able to navigate around G360 with a degree of confidence.

Cons:

The limited back office functions - the need to navigate between two systems (eg booking sheets, transferring a class) is time consuming and frustrating for front end users, there is a feeling amongst some that needing to use two systems is inefficient.

Gladstone are a crucial partner for tmactive in terms of our interface with the customer, staff use and business analysis. I believe that they are ahead of the rest of the UK market in working that partnership for mutual benefit. I find them easy to work with, responsive and well integrated with our sector. The desire to scan the horizon looking for future requirements and engaging their customer in that process is second to none.

Pros:

I think Gladstone software is increasingly intuitive to use and has the features and functionality required for the leisure industry. We are currently using Plus 2 with ambition to evolving to 360 in line with future need.

Nothing really. We are aware of advanced iterations of the current products and hope to move in the near future.

Pros:

the look and feel of the front end. ease of improvement through the screens ability to make refund/amendments without logging out someone completely and then logging in someone else with authority. easy customisation ability to multi book activities and make multiple account payments.

Cons:

doesn't connect to the plus 2 bookings sheets difficulty in finding booking activities - reception team don't always know which section some items come up under - on plus2 you went to the area and it was there. would prefer easier access to add card/bands to accounts. can't get a duplicate print receipt unless changing to another screen - would be better if had the option on the EPOS screen.

Pros:

I like that the software is now web based and the new functionality within 360. Also the ability now to run the software on tablets and mobile devices.

Cons:

The main issue currently is the lack of booking sheets within 360 - however after being at the last alliance meeting - it was good to see that booking sheets had been developed and would be available in a forthcoming release.
