Go with different software!

We loved using daysmart until about a year ago, the software started glitching out on us and changing ticket prices and inventory quantities, so we decided to cancel. After cancelling we didnt get all of our data we needed and the only way to retrieve it was to open the account back up. We were told once the account was reactivated we could pay for the lowest subscription at $60. That was a lie they charged our bank another $300 for the month just so we could get our data.

Pros:

Cons:

CUSTOMER SERVICE! We stopped using daysmart because of the customer service. They also do not have a way to track back bar usage (business use of products) and it would randomly change our inventory and tickets.

Pros:

I love that they send out two forms of reminders. When you get busy it does the work for you. Also how it remembers prices that you change for certain clients.

Cons:

Honestly everything that I have had an issue with over the years has been addressed. So at some point you could cash out clients the same on the phone as the computer.

Just Don’t Do It

I used to “tolerate” them because they used to have good support. Now They don’t give a crap. The message on phone says we switched to fast efficient online support because it’s going to be faster and more efficient for you. It’s absurd. I am mad.

Pros:

That you used to be able to talk to a human.

Cons:

Support is horrific - they left me down and stranded for over a week with chat support not having a clue. Slow. Doesn’t integrate with accounting software unless you PAY MORE Access to app for employees yup. PAY MORE For each one. The cloud version is horrific and doesn’t work at all. Want to use your lap top at home to do some accounting. Nope. You have to buy a second version so PAY MORE Oh and the second license is ALWAYS down and never ever works. So it’s completely unreliable and a waste of money! This software has potential. But your pay a fortune and it doesn’t do anything more then acuity. In fact Acuity gives you unlimited everything for $17 a month and integrates with everything without having to pay. I am paying almost $500 Canadian a month. To date I have not switched because it’s a huge job. But now that you cannot get support and they have no issue leaving you high and dry. I am out.

Reasons for choosing DaySmart Salon

Because the PEOPLE were good. But now there’s no people.

Reasons for switching to DaySmart Salon

I was convinced this was far better. It’s the worst decision I’ve ever made.

Salon Iris just needs a way to transfer and transition companies that want to switch and not just start up, but they have a 5 gold star product on their hands here.

Ratings Breakdown

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I loved that this was a totally, completely, 110%, didn't leave anything out, comprehensive plus the kitchen sink software system for running any small business. It covered emails, advertising, websites, payments, scheduling and booking, literally not a stone unturned. This made the process of starting a fledgling company absolute as cohesive and efficient as possible in a rather visually capturing way.

Cons:

We ended up not choosing them to use though because of the comprehensiveness and total coverage because it would have been too difficult to integrate their entire system in with the system/s already being used because some had been purchased already and the clinic was already up some running. If we could have switched all our existing data and moved it in to their new system during its initiation, it would have been chosen hands down.
