Sales have had the best results so far with utilizing the system to support both internal and external calendaring of demonstrations. It has been reasonably well-adapted and utilized. Other teams that use it less frequently are not utilizing or adopting it as quickly as we would like. Overall the system has been effective.

Cons

The client screen is a little clunky and often there is insufficient space for the full address. It would also be useful to have other fields.
The diary is a bit cluttered. While the agenda view solves this problem, some work is needed on the main calendar view.
Expanding the messaging options and being able to send emails to clients and use templates would be helpful.

With the customization being are a really nice feature, we do wish it was easier to add fields and not have required fields.
Sometimes we see that the calendar syncing is not always accurate.
I would wish it would allow me to set up more customizable time slots where only certain things can be scheduled.

10to8 Appointment Scheduling Software 9.7

Based on 4 answers

The tool is the all singing and dancing ultimate appointment and scheduling tool suitable to almost any business that requires their customers/ clients to book in for a service. Has so many features and works really well with many third party tools that can save you a lot of time and hassle. It would of been a 10 if 10to8/had its own mobile app not web based app

Support Rating

10to8 Appointment Scheduling Software 9.2

Based on 8 answers

The support that I have received has been fantastic! When I first started to use 10 to 8 and began evaluating the use for our campus, I had many questions regarding corporate pricing, integration with other tools, and training. I have always found that the support group was very helpful in helping me to find solutions and providing me with resources as requested. Over the years, I have certainly had a couple of issues that require the assistance of support. The most recent incident that I can recall involved a problem with syncing my various calendars. In short, an issue had emerged that was causing duplication of appointments on my schedule, creating some confusion for my students as well as myself. I reached out to Support and provided some information about what was occurring; they were able to provide direction and insights to solve my problem within 12 to 18 hours. In this instance, I sought Support through online/email. So a small delay would be anticipated, and in this case, was completely acceptable. I have not experienced any problems that were unresolved. I have reached out to them with suggestions in the past and requests for enhancements to the tool and all of these have been acknowledged and received, and in some cases, they noted that some things were being developed. I have certainly seen the tool evolve over time and get better.

Support was very responsive during our integration phase, and after that too.
They have the whole infrastructure built to notify customers about bug/outages, which is excellent. Entire System outage only happened once, but being updated on fix progress helped a lot to keep our team calm.

Alternatives Considered

We can't schedule directly through MyCase, but we sync our 10to8 account with multiple calendars. Smith.ai schedules appointments for us by clicking on a link. We use Calendly for some appointments, but it's more expensive.

The end result was more in line with what we were looking for. Our main objective was to allow people to go to the website and explore our content, and then easily schedule a demo without having to wait for someone to call them and set something up. Chili Piper created the least amount of resistance to get this outcome.

Return on Investment

Having this service has allowed my team to spend more time on other tasks as clients can take scheduling, changing dates and times into their own hands and the system keeps track of it all! It has been a great tool for our whole team!

Increased efficiency. Much less time spent trying to line up availability etc. No more back and forth email chains trying to find times to meet.
Increased transparency. All meetings and Chili Piper events are logged directly in Salesforce for us.
Automated rules and logic that sends reminders, emails, etc. that allows for increased communication and decreased no show rates.
