We love DaySmart

We have had a great experience with Daysmart overall--it greatly improved booking efficiency in our salon and helped us eliminate double bookings and decrease the amount of missed appointments we were experiencing.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

We love how easy it is to use and find information on all of our clients!

Cons:

We would love a feature that would tell us our next available 1 hr apt, 2 hr, apt, and weekend appointment. It would make running our business even easier! We would also love a better wait list design--we often have a large waitlist and the set up of the current wait list function does not work for our set up.

Reasons for choosing DaySmart Pet

We talked with other people in our industry and everyone had a good experience with it and we liked the pricing.

Reasons for switching to DaySmart Pet

We actually used StoreVantage and it was terrible and would go down all the time, we would have to schedule appointments by hand and we had double bookings happen constantly. It didn't do enough things for us to help us run our salon.

Do not recommend

After 10 years as a client the first 8 years were great, the last couple of years have resulted continuous glitches and often having the software not working which is blamed on your cell service.

Pros:

When properly working the software is geared for mobile grooming.

Cons:

Too many clicks to perform a simple task. Recent changes have made the software extremely unreliable and customer service (no live phone poodle anymore only email or chat that is returned their convenience) simply says “we are working on it”.

Pros:

Doesn't match to QuickBooks very good, its ugly and seems like the look is out dated. The portable card reader sucks, would be nice to have a different option. Confusing for customers to have a text number for your services that isn't your main number.

Reasons for choosing DaySmart Pet

Cost was much more than DaySmart Pet. It also had high set up fees and complex set up.

Right now, I'm not impressed

meh. customer service is a hassle to get a hold of then they usually have to escalate the issue which takes time away from doing anything else. There isn't quick fixes and I can't count the number of times I've heard 'I don't know', or 'we can't do that'. It seems like easy/ straightforward things like reports should be easy to customize, they are not. If i want to get the vaccine information (expired vs near) I can either get a report for anyone with a future appointment or everyone who is ever been put into the computer this includes deceased and inactive animals. Then download into excel and go through one by one to sort out... why can't i just search for current daycare clients??? it makes no sense

Pros:

I wanted it for the text messaging feature, the schedule looks easy to follow and was looking forward to updates and eventually switching to cloud based

Cons:

cloud software is terrible, it has way too much extra information and doesn't have needed reports that already exist in the computer software. We use the app and the IPad alot but the program doesn't translate to the app. We cannot see or update vaccines on app ( this is very important) I cannot see or update messages or notes or balances. It would be nice if a note we put saying I don't know dog bites be careful actually showed up easily so we didn't have to go through 10 screens to see it. You can't have multiple screens opened at once so if someone is using the system they have to complete or exit out of what they are doing like creating a marketing email; then you can check someone out. Credit card issues like if you forget to press complete it times out and the charge wont go through. I have a 7-8 page list of features that don't work or don't make sense

Reasons for choosing DaySmart Pet

texting and "ease of use" other peoples recommendations

Reasons for switching to DaySmart Pet

i thought daysmart system would be better with integrated payments and maybe eventually going to the cloud. Also this system has text messaging which is nice

May want to look elsewhere

Their service was AMAZING before they started "upgrading" their services. Now their online service and texting only works every so often, and will often go down for HOURS before coming back up... and during that period of time, I cannot reply to customers or check scheduling. I have put in multiple tickets, all to have customer service say "we are aware of the issue".... nothing else. Our business has been a customer for 13+ years, and we are actually considering going elsewhere.
