We love Buzz!

Our animals are better organized, we have gotten so much of our time back because we are all working out of the same software. Adoption numbers go up, and the stress goes waaaay down! (Outside from everyday Rescue stress haha!)

PROS

Ease of use.When we got Buzz what immediately stood out was how intuitive it was. I was able to get on and work within it very easily and without frustrations. Having the ability to manage our animals all in one space has been a lifesaver! I no longer have to hop from spreadsheet to spreadsheet and fb message to fb message. It's all in ONE place! The internal tags are my absolute favorite! Sending documents is easily a close second. There are so many features I love, it's worth it to do the Demo and see for yourself!

CONS

My only con is that I didn't find Buzz sooner!

A great move for our rescue

Our adoptions and intakes have increased since using Buzz. We are able to have custom reports made within weeks rather than months(or years) and we have more access to the information we need. Most of our information can be stored in the software so we have far fewer side documents to manage. We love having easy access to our website right in the software, even for folks who know nothing about building or maintaining a website.

PROS

Once we were able to migrate all of our information into Buzz, the software gave us access to more information, reports and we were able to have real time updates on our website. We are able to upload documents directly to dog profiles and being able to send emails directly from the system has allowed for seamless record keeping.

CONS

We could have used more hands on training initially but Buzz has been great at responding to all our questions and requests. Initially, the website was slow to load and update, but that has significantly improved since we started using it. We don't have the option to bring an adoption application back to "submitted" if it has been moved to conditional. Returning dogs to rescue is cumbersome and should have a more clear path. We also do not have stats reports available any longer and these would be huge time savers for the rescue.

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

We had been planning to redesign our website and liked that Buzz to the Rescues basically built a site for us. Now we have total control over our website through Buzz to the Rescues and it has made updating information very simple, not to mention, all in one location.

Reasons for switching to Buzz to the Rescues

We needed better website integration and more data management capabilities than what our previous software allowed for.

Buzz is the Buzz

PROS

I like to be able to look things up anywhere online, being able to get pets home from home is easier. I like the website with so many options to have things added.

CONS

I like to do things myself when I can, it would be nice to know how to do it all so I can fix things as needed.

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

The ease of working with Laurie and setting it up how we liked it.

It does EVERYTHING

Buzz to the Rescues is a seriously passionate team with a nonstop dedication to rescues and animals. The platform itself is so good (easy, modern, intuitive, customizable) I wish I could use it for other parts of my life!

PROS

Back when I was searching for rescue management software, I didn't appreciate right away just how different Buzz to the Rescues is. It has ALL tools in one place, from the back-end database to the front-end website, and they all talk to each other seamlessly. They even cover the cost of hosting. It seems more expensive than others at first, but you save so much money and time getting rid of other tools and costs, which ultimately translates to more animals saved. We even tried a totally free option at first and ended up switching to Buzz within months because it is SO MUCH BETTER. Also -- even though we chose Buzz less than a year ago, it's already gotten faster and more customizable. The team behind it cares and never stops trying to make it better.

CONS

I'm excited for some of the additional automations that Buzz to the Rescues has mentioned rolling out in the future like automatically following up with adopters 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months later. I also wish they could pass along even more lessons learned across rescues so we can all do better.

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

IT'S THE BEST. Seriously, it has all the features we needed, plus ones we didn't even think about. It links the website to the behind-the-scenes database so you can update everything all at once. And I got the sense (and still believe) they really care about people and animals. They're not a tech product -- they are a team focused on setting you up for success.

Reasons for switching to Buzz to the Rescues

Even though Petstablished was free and the onboarding person was very kind and knowledgeable, their platform was ultimately so painful to use. It took too long to figure out how to do something, and it was too hard to customize it for our needs. Ultimately not worth it =/
