Timely Software

Pros

One thing I most like about Timely is that it is focused on just one field which salon. It is precise and intuitive. It is a software that all hair stylist I recommended it to, uses to take an appointment easy and fast.
You can integrate with Wix, run email campaigns, send SMS/Text message notifications to customers.
I recommend this software to you if you are a hair stylist.
It is very handy

Cons

It is not completely mobile friendly and their support is just not good enough

Timely gave us a good calendar option to preview to the client and they loved it.

Pros

It works well with Wix. Lots of features and layout options.

Cons

The only drawback is cost. But that's really with any 3rd party tool that you implement on your website.

More than good but not excellent

Pros

Very easy to use, we can add the various information and different user. They provide 15days of free service to use to everyone, design and the user interface of the software is more than good.
We can easily track our project and also track the upcoming projects. Customer can book their tickets online through links that was provided by the other parties. They provide SMS and reminder email to all the user to update them in the future. Customer support is excellent we can call them and also email there customer support id.

Cons

We can't send SMS more than 150 words. Application for Android must be available. Don't have different time zone for different calendar.

Pros

What I liked the most is that it was so easy to use and very intuitive, has all the features needed for a small business.

Cons

The only thing that I found I was missing is some kind of loyalty or rewards program for the customers, you have to keep track of such things in a separate platform.

Several
online booking
payment acceptance
POS to some degree

Pros

This is a great software for anyone taking bookings & running a business.
It is super easy to use, the customer support is very good.
The price point is in line with the services it DOES offer.
Online booking with a system that allows you full control on how to run your business & accept payment online. There are very few comparisons to what this software offers.

Cons

I am sad that they still do not have a built in loyalty program, its really the only thing its missing for my needs. I have been hoping for the last 3 years they would get one but nothing as of yet. They have made strides in many other areas, this would be such a bonus for me if they would implement that.

Pros

It is vey reliable and new features are always being added and updated. It is extremely easy to use and the support staff are always accessible. The Timely Blog is always full of relevant , interesting content.

Cons

Having used Timely for close to three years, there is nothing I dislike. Admittedly, I run a very small business with basic requirements.

Pros

This software is great!! Simple to use for both the client and the Employer. The ease of changing and booking appointments is great!!

Cons

No real cons here! I thought the software was great and easy to use and my brother loves it!!! He has tried other in the past but his is by far the best!

Pros

Integrating the online booking system on my website was extremely easy. Was also able to theme it to match the colour scheme of the site which is great!

Cons

Was a little bit tricky figuring out how to select which services should be available for booking using the online services. Eventually figured it out, but it was a bit unintuitive initially.

Pros

Unclutter your work space with stickups and pieces of paper that you somehow never find. This cloud based software is really great at keeping appoinments time in an orderly fashion. It is designed for beauty parlors or busy professionals alike.

Cons

If you have different time zone, like they have in Russia, better be alert when you make your appointments.

Pros

The design and the UI are gorgeous, the app is super easy to use. We tried it for a few weeks but just didn't need all the extra functionality for the paid plans. Recommend though.

Cons

Didn't have many complaints when going through free trial with the team. The software was a little over our budget given where we were at the time.

I like that timely can be used daily.

Pros

I like the fact that timely is easy to use for the end user. It is also very to update your hours.

Cons

I do not like the fact that it is often shutdown for maintance and updates, especially during the workday.

Pros

The best thing about timely is that you could plan in advance. If a client needs to reschedule you can easily move their appointment to another day and fill that void with a different block. Extremely easy.

Cons

For the free version, only one user is allowed and only 5 projects. This does limit it's use. Another issue is that it is too easy to change time blocks, it should be less touchy.

Pros

It does what it promised and allows simplifying the online booking experience. I personally found the user interface particularly easy to use

Cons

Increased price for a second user only is a bit annoying. It would be nice to have a couple of more predefined options for emails to customers, but it doesn't take so long to create your own versions

Simple and efficient appointment scheduling

Pros

I have used quite a few apps for scheduling over the years and I've just started using Timely. It is absolutely great! Easy to use and sufficient options.

Cons

I had some difficulties with scheduling appointment in different time zones. Support seems to no be reachable by phone.

Pros

Online booking is really easy with this app, it helps you set up and schedule your appointment, it looks good and works fine

Cons

You can't copy and paste the shifts, that's a bummer, and it can be messy when more than one person is using the tool

Time management

Pros

What I like most about Timely is how it functions to manage my schedule and tracks everything. I'll has been very helpful.

Cons

There hasn't been much that I don't like about Timely. It functions well and offered much needed support.

Pros

One of the best things about this is the ease of using it. You get set up so quickly and can easily get going.

Cons

It has been a very less time i have started to use this. Till now i am liking it. WOuld update after a while.

Pros

I like the ease of the app, as long as I start the timer I have what I need to keep up with where I am spending my times.

Cons

Nothing, it's working as smooth as it can work for me at this time. It's helped me to manage the time used on my task.

Pros

Timely is very simple and easy to use. There are reminders and other custom features to meet your needs. It helps tremendously!

Cons

Sometimes it can run slow or freeze but I have rarely had this issue. Most times the software runs smooth.

Pros

The absolute best part of this software, that sooooo many companies are missing, is the ability to set up your appointments for double-booking/power-booking/piggy-back appointments. Whatever you want to label the method of scheduling, it is a method that almost every single successful hair stylist uses so we can take an appointment during the time that hair color is processing. These guys also make it very relaxing if you plan to have more service providers in the future. You will not need to calculate a higher rate when the big day comes. That one is also a rare and beautiful gem in the world of salon software! The online booking widget and mini-website are customizable, look sharp and they optimized for mobile websites. It even works with WIX!They also have email campaigns, reminders via email and SMS/ text messages. You can decide at what time intervals your messages go out. This is super handy if you tend to goof up when rescheduling a client. The default is set for 10 minutes and I think it's perfect. If you accidentally put someone down 15 minutes later than intended and move it when you realize 3-4 minutes later, your customer will only get one notification. The correct one. Very cool!

Cons

There isn't anything that I "dislike" about the software. There are a couple of things that should be implemented that are a bit mind-boggling as to why they are not already. Such as tips... That is probably the most annoying thing I have found. You have to create a product named "Tip" and add it every time that your customer tips you, which is every single sale. It's not a huge problem when you are checking the customer out. The headache comes later when you are doing your accounting and you have to do separate calculations, rather than just sending it straight over to your accountant. The last booger is that the texts/SMS are not included in the plan price. You must purchase them separately. However, this could be a "pro" for those that don't want to use the SMS feature. Surely the price would be higher if they were included.
