Working with RecDesk has helped us streamline the registration process for our staff and customers.

PROS

The ease of use. It is intuitive to use, which makes training new staff super easy. It is also simple for our customers to use the community portal. The staff and the consumers love that once their household information is saved it makes registration simple and quick. Our staff loves everything about the software. We are constantly impressed with the new features that are added on a regular basis. Often we'll be wishing for an improvement on something and before we can ask about it they make it happen! We are so happy we chose RecDesk over it's competitors! They can't be beat for customer service and price!

CONS

The only thing I don't like about the software is people can create multiple profiles. I wish there was a way it recognized a person's email or mailing address and alerted them they already have a profile with us.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review Heather. We do have duplicate account detection that will do just what you ask - Maureen will contact you about activating it for your account!

Would never use anything else!

Overall, this has been a game changer for us and I am very pleased with the program. I really don't have anything negative to say as we love the program here. We also love that they are always evolving and updating things. Thank you!!

PROS

- Programs management and how easy it is to create them. Love the feature of "create one just like this" - saves us so much time! - I personally LOVE flex forms and we utilize this for many different programs. I higly recommend that people use Flex Forms. - The dashboard is a great tool when you want to see any changes quickly that have happened recently. I like to use this after a program is posted or after sharing the registrations to see popular times people sign up and how many.

CONS

- I wish we could also search by first name - It would also be nice to add photos for promotional purposes in the programs

Reasons for switching to RecDesk

I am not sure if that is the right one - it was "Traxsolutions" by NFocus. It was not very user friendly and had a lot of obstacles when it came to creating programs and registrations

Going from good to great with RecDesk

Overall my experience has been positive, but with some letdown along the way. The product is good, but a few tweaks could be great!

PROS

Here is what is right about RD *please note that my interaction with RecDesk is only from a league managment perspective. -The Dashboard. Specifically the registration and payment tab. Historically we've never been able to collect payment upon registration for our leagues, which leaves us to have to turn into collection agents. -Ordering uniforms. This year my assistant was able to order uniforms in 30 min as opposed to our old system which took days -I like how easy it is to mass communicate (more on this below) -I like the flex calendar and the ease of access to the facility schedule -I like being able to see who is overdue in payments

CONS

Here is a few wrongs about RD -Not being able to upload a pdf or a premade practice/game schedule, or any important documents for that matter, for my coaches to see on "My Leagues". -Creating a practice/game schedule is extremely difficult. Having to go into each league individually and schedule each game is taxing. The user interface is difficult to understand for this process. Thus, we opted to create them outside of RD, and just import them as documents so that coaches could just access from their "My League" pages. When I learned that was not an option, I discovered just how difficult to create practice and game schedules. We abandoned this feature and just gave the coaches their stuff via email. To be fair, I / my training could be the issue. -The back of house user interface system is difficult to process visually. All of the main tabs and their subsequent tabs, plus the quick actions tabs on the right creates paralysis by analysis (this is subjective however) -I don't like how I cant send out one mass email / sms to all our leagues. I have to go into each individual league (like i said, it could be on my end) -Not a fan of how I can upload pictures of each coach on their profile or my personal profile for that matter -Not a fan of how difficult the process is change the look and fell of each landing page

Reason for choosing RecDesk

We liked having the ability to do multiple things under one system

Reasons for switching to RecDesk

Our recreation, fitness and facility, member managment, and POS systems all needed to come under one umbrella.

RecDesk - Helpful and Complete

The staff have been amazing. Our roll out was well thought out and easy. They continue to be available when we need help!

PROS

RecDesk is a complete system that handles membership, facilities, members data base, leagues, check ins and attendance. The staff at RecDesk is very responsive and helpful.

CONS

Some desired features are still in the works.

Reason for choosing RecDesk

Great service! No start up costs (this was huge). When starting a new product, paying thousands of dollars to start using it just doesn't make sense.

Reasons for switching to RecDesk

Active was not helpful when we had issues or questions. They are a really big company and they did not even remember our name, even our rep! Alsol, they were increasingly too expensive.

Couldn't Live Without It!

Our experience with RecDesk has been phenomenal. I can't imagine anyone having better customer service. The RecDesk team is always so patient even when I ask the dumbest questions. New enhancements are always rolling out, and they always take into consideration improvements you would like to see. A++

PROS

The ease of online registration is the best! I can't imagine going back to pen and paper. It's so easy to get practice/game schedules to everyone. Rescheduling a rain out is literally the click of a button. Drafting teams is so easy along with immediately being able to give coaches a team roster.

CONS

Everything is pretty great although I wish there was a RecDesk app!

Reason for choosing RecDesk

RecDesk team was very patient answering any and all questions. They were never pushy. The learning curve was much easier with RecDesk as well.

Pool Membership

RecDesk makes my job a lot easier by putting the data entry on the members.

PROS

It's so much easier than using our old system. It's more user friendly and it's easier to navigate through the system

CONS

Certain reports we were able to generate on our old system are not available or you need to run multiple reports to generate the same information. Made some requests for these changes.

Reason for choosing RecDesk

Ease of use and cost of the program. Customer support is great! Emails are answered quickly and followed up with a phone call, if necessary.

Reasons for switching to RecDesk

The cost for a cloud based program with them was expensive and the program was more than what we needed for our daily operation

Review from Office Manager at Lyons Recreation Department

Overall it's a great program and there is a lot that can be customized to our liking.

PROS

There are several things about the software that I do like. Some of the Program/League features are a little easier than CivicPlus..

CONS

I really do NOT like that our patrons can't make partial payments on their rentals and/or sports fees if they are paying online at home or on the go.

Reason for choosing RecDesk

It was a group effort among our Rec Dept, Financial staff, and Recreation Staff.

Reasons for switching to RecDesk

Difficulties with their vendors/software for our merchant services and their compatibility with our equipment.

CIty of Garnett Review

It has been EXCELLENT from the sales people to the trainers to the customer support it has been fabulous. I have nothing but good things to say about the team there at RecDesk. They are very quick to respond and always a wealth of knowledge. It feels like we are their only client the attention that we get when we need it. I would and have recommended RecDesk to everyone that asks about what we use. It is a great product and the team you have behind it makes it even better.

PROS

It is very easy to use. We have a lot of turnover in our front desk staff with them being high school students. It is very easy to train them on how to use the system and they catch on very quickly. We are also able to offer online payments for those that do not live in town. We also can allow for automatic renewal if a patron chooses to use that option. It is very easy to keep organized with all the programs we run and the numerous reports we can run helps us with budgeting at the end of the year. We can also evaluate our programs based on profit and the number of users in each program.

CONS

We use the system for camping reservations and it does not work exactly how we would like but it gets the job done.

Reason for choosing RecDesk

The ease of use to start with. It also had everything we needed to use without a lot of extras we would never use. I feel like we paid a good price for an excellent product. Plus the sales staff and those who showed us the demo were above and beyond. I knew that not only the product was going to be good but the support system would be too.

So glad we made the switch!

Our experience with RecDesk has been good from the beginning. The RecDesk staff will work with you to get everything set up. They guide you through the changes, etc, so you learn the system, instead of them doing it for you.

PROS

The ease of use is probably its best feature! There is a slight learning curve as with anything new, but practice makes perfect. This is pretty much a standalone software for use. We use it primarily for league scheduling, facility rentals, and minimal program registrations and POS. We are still discovering hidden features. The Customer Service is great!

CONS

>No toggle box for Tax Exempt Status. We would love to see a toggle box for Tax Exempt Status on the member accounts, so that we would not have to remove sales tax for each transaction. >Trying to make cancel a reservation and credit the household account on a multi-reservation, multi-pament invoice can be a little tricky if you don't know which payment covers the reservation being cancelled. One other thing I find a disadvantage is that too many capabilities are lumped together under the user roles.

Reason for choosing RecDesk

The RecDesk marketing representative was very persistent and persuasive (cudos)! The price was comparable to what we had been paying, but the user-friendliness of the system was much greater. Flex Forms was a huge plus also! It eliminated all our paper contracts. The user setup facility setup and maintenance was very simple.

Reasons for switching to RecDesk

RecTrac was very complex; making changes was tedious, and it was difficult to get Customer Service in a timely fashion.
