Questions to ask

Do not compare feature labels. Compare what happens on a busy day.

How quickly can staff understand payment state without calling accounting?

Can the system handle boarding, daycare, grooming, retail, memberships, and routes together?

Are private customer and pet data protected from public indexing?

How easy is it to report on branch revenue, payments, payouts, commissions, and service trends?
