Cons

Preno
  • Staff need to know how to use SiteMinder.
  • Preno failed miserably at onboarding our business.
  • Up to 21 hours to respond to chats, and phones often go unanswered.
  • Poor linkage with Xero. Cost me over $3000 for an accountant to undo Xero issues after I spent hours going through the setup with someone from Preno.
  • I purchased this for ease with Xero. This is absolutely false as Preno staff were unable to link it to Xero properly.

Preno integrates with Light Speed and Xero. The two software systems we needed in our business. The integration gave us more time to focus on sales and other key aspects of the business.

Bookinglayer Screenshots

Screenshot of The Booking Engine can be fully customized to suit not only the customer's decision-making process but also the look and feel of the website. This way, the booking page integrates with the current customer journey.Screenshot of The Customer Portal empowers guests to manage their bookings independently. Guests can be allowed to schedule sessions, exchange activities, provide transfer details, sign digital waivers, and check in online, all without messaging back and forth with internal teams.Screenshot of The Booking Widget is an Advanced Feature used to display fixed-date trips directly on a website. From there, guests can view what trips still have availability, or they can join a waiting list for dates that are already full.Screenshot of The Backoffice is used to view and manage bookings. With up to 10 different User Roles, team members have access to select parts of the Backoffice. This way, everyone from coaches to cleaning staff has access to the information they need to work efficiently, but not other sensitive booking details.Screenshot of the Inquiry Form, which is an Advanced Feature that can help collect and organize bespoke requests that require more of a conversation before confirmation. Inquiries will come directly into the Backoffice, where they can later be changed to a confirmed booking.
