    Assistant.to
    Assistant.to is well suited for anyone working with a large number of clients at once who need to schedule multiple meetings. If those clients do not have a background in online scheduling, then using this tool may not be the best solution. Assistant.to is a great tool for quickly scheduling meetings with options across 3 days, but for those wanting more flexibility you may want to consider Calendly.

    I have used Zen Planner at 3 different Jujitsu schools. Every school that has used it, has had great success in keeping their attendance records straight for their students. This is great when promotions are coming up, or special seminars that need to reach everyone. I don't know that Zen Planner is a great product for places that don't need to communicate with their clients on a regular basis.

    • Easy to use interface
    • Payment processing is easy for classes or for a small retail shop.
    • The free integrated mobile website is great for everyone to check out the calendar and even sign and pay from within it.
    • I can also send emails right from the platform when I need to connect with a student.

    Cons
    Assistant.to
    • The app currently does not save the availability times that I select, therefore I have to re-select my availability every time I sent meeting options.
    • The app does not have the ability to customize the theme or styles of the meeting times. It'd be nice to allow users to choose between a set of themes to better fit their company's brand.
    • If Assistant.to had a scheduling link option like Calendly has, that would be another improvement. Sometimes we'll have customers who cannot meet until the following week, so having a scheduler link would be helpful in those situations.

    • The only thing I would like to see, is the ability to see my entire attendance from the app. I can view it on the desktop though.

    Assistant.to
    When I first started at my current company, I used this tool because it was what the rest of the team used. However, since I learned about Calendly, who recently released a feature similar to Assistant.to, I've actually switched to Calendly. Calendly also has the ability to create a scheduling link where someone can choose a time based on the parameters you set. This has proven to be more helpful for certain clients.

    Return on Investment
    Assistant.to
    • It has reduced our back and forth setting up appointments allowing sales to get more appointments faster.
    • Our client success team is able to quickly provide their available time.
    • Only real con is that the calendar is not real time and if a person clicks on a time that is not open, they don't find out until after they've gone to the site. But that is a limit of emails, not their tech.

    • Saves me time in using a paper attendance record sheet.
    • Payments are automated, no need to request checks or payments from anyone. Emails are sent out if a payment fails.
    • I can keep track of 10, 20, 30, or even 50 students using this platform.
