Questions to ask

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

How much time does staff spend searching after using the back button or opening separate screens?

Can online reservations, behavioral advisories, forms, and pet records be customized around your operation?

Do payments and invoices stay connected to the booking record?

Can managers see branch performance without manual exports?
