ePact Review

PROS

I like the ease of the software. You have access to the student medical, emergency and authorized pickup and contacts at you fingertips. Very easy for the staff to learn and navigate.

CONS

This software was very easy to use and very easy for the parents to use also. There were a couple of parents who had problems upload their child's picture. Some people had problems with the phone number. It does not let you know not to add spaces or dashes with the phone number. Some parents also got hooked up with emergency and authorized pick ups address. They would not putting it in and it would not let them continue. It should not address is required.

Reason for choosing ePACT

Arlington Park District recommended at a meeting I was at.

Vendor Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Cheri! We'll be sure to share your feedback with our Product Team with regards to additional guidance within the system. The requirement for addresses on emergency and authorized pick-up contacts is set by the organization/administrator, usually for licensing, legislative, or insurance requirements - it's part of the form approval process when your ePACT account is set up. Thanks again for using ePACT and please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or support needs at any time!

Thanks ePACT!

With ePACT, we have resolved our storage issue. We used to have numerous boxes of paperwork to store each recreation season. Now everything is on a little thumb drive. With ePACT we have gathered current information from participants. Our registration system doesn't always capture the most current information, however ePACT has the up to date email and phone number for all of our participants. Making messaging them easier! Our overall experience is EXCELLENT! We are so glad we ran into Wagner at the CPRS conference. ePACT is exactly what he promised us and more! The customer service is AMAZING.

PROS

We used to collect paper emergency and permission forms from every participant, for every camp, for each of the 10 weeks of summer and the camp staff had to carry around a giant binder filled with forms! ePACT resolved this for us. No more storage issues, no more thick and heavy binders, forms are filled out in advance so we didn't have long lines at check in, info is safeguarded on our tablets and can't get lost. At the end of the season we export the files to a little thumb drive and store it...no more boxes and boxes of forms!

CONS

Some fields are hard coded and we can't change them. For example, in the allergies section, we are most concerned with life threatening allergies...some families list ANY allergy (allergy to hamsters, pollen, etc.). When a family lists something in this category the participant is flagged. It would be great if this could be emphasized as a life threatening allergy.

Vendor Response

Thanks for leaving such a glowing review, Tamiko! We'll be sure to pass on your comments to our Product Team.

Epact Review

PROS

Saves electronic sign ins, eliminates paper, personalization to questions, record access offline

CONS

Several enhancements could be made. Requesting them as they come up and staff is great about listening and implementing. Could be faster. More features are needed on computer that are only available on the app. Example creating a sign in sheet. A lot of accounts incomplete and people don't know why so it needs to be very known to customer what they are missing so we can download files.

Vendor Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Meredith! The Check In, Check Out feature was launched with a focus on mobile devices due to the initial needs expressed by our clients - there are additional phases coming for the feature and we'll be sure to pass on your feedback to our Product Team. For families that are unsure of what they are missing, there are red exclamation points on the left side of their record screen to indicate missing or incomplete information. On a mobile device, this may sometimes require a scroll to the left to see those icons - this is an element we are working to improve/fix (there is no scrolling required on the desktop version). Please continue to share your feedback with your Account Manager as we value our clients' input on the product for ongoing enhancements and features. Thanks for using ePACT!

ePACT review

I love using ePACT! it has made my job a lot easier over all and gives me a very effective & efficient way to communicate with parents. Very accessible and the staff at ePACT is all very helpful.

PROS

very accessible Very helpful to get in contact with parents in program easy use

CONS

That you cant view a profile while it is labeled outstanding. takes every email from an account in ACTIVE NET even if the email is not valid

Vendor Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Sarah! The privacy and security of families' data is our top priority, which is the reason you can't see information on a record before it's completed. Being able to see data requires the family to choose to share their ePACT record with your organization. We rely on the ACTIVE Net data for information to sync with ePACT through our API, so unfortunately, if information has been entered incorrectly by the family at registration, it will transfer over to ePACT. Thanks again for your feedback, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to support you!

Very good.

PROS

It's mobile-friendly. I find it quick and easy to update a profile. I don't have to redo the entry each year. I can send reminders to people. You can easily download your team roster and details if you are in a place that does not have wifi. Also, the family owns their own entry so they can use it with any participating organization. Someone has also given thought to different family situations whether they be blended (and a parent only needs access to some of the household and not all of the kids in the home) or if two people are co-parenting and do no live together or correspond. THey can have their own access and do so without having to share and account. Also, the supplier is local so we were able to do in-person training. The data is secure and stored with epact.

CONS

Nothing bad. Looking forward to having it integrate with our registration website. Right now it is a second step for people to complete. Also, it does require a lot of battery and data to run the application. I think there needs to be more awareness about this app. It is used in many rec centres and other communities but many families still don't know the brand and the power of using this app. The data is very secure, steps and precautions are in place and that is good for us to tell our members, but it is also great for a third party to also highlight.
