Demandforce vs. Lighthouse 360 vs. Weave

We use Demandforce to reach out to 'old' customers. If they have not had an invoice generated in X number of days/weeks/months/years, we can create a custom campaign via email/text to reach out to them and attempt to re-engage with those customers to generate new 'existing business' or entirely new leads for our Sales team to run.

Truly love and appreciate the templets that we can use to send out office specific emails - Also the openings on a schedule notifications are great to get the schedule full - we use it daily!

Weave integrates with Nextech which is a nice tech stack setup for phone, EMR, text messaging, appointment reminders, voicemail, etc. It would also work well for small medical practices that can use it as an all-in-one system and aren't super worried about tracking where patient leads are coming from (Weave is not a CRM or marketing automation platform). For larger, more complex organizations, they may find a greater need for enhanced integrations with a CRM or marketing automation platform which is not a strong suit of Weave

• Aesthetics has been updated in last few months for organization and is easier to see: colors, grid lines on front page, and font style.
• Allowing our office to include specific items in reminder appointment emails allows personalization to make confirming appointments easier.
• Allowing patients to write reviews allows us to know what the office is doing well and what we can improve on.

• The overall cost for the basic is great, it is all the extras that make it more expensive - we have a few locations so it is not horrible and we use what we pay for to the fullest.
• The only real down fall is the time lapse - it pulls every 30 minutes from the server, I wish it was more real time as sometimes we have an opening that has already been filled and someone still gets a notification of an opening
• We can only text so many words to a patient in response or trying to send a notice - which isn't that big of a downfall.

We are constantly being contacted by comparable organizations. If Mindbody Online integrated a feature like Demandforce, we'd move over there to keep everything in one platform.

I do not have any alternative products to compare this service too. It was in place when I came aboard this company and I have no say in its continuation or replacement. As from what I can gather, there are many alternatives to this platform, but Demandforce is the only one I am aware of that runs in your system tray and is passively ran in conjunction with your accounting database.

Lighthouse does not offer as many features as NexHealth which is why we are making the switch to NexHealth currently. Solutionreach was not as good as Lighthouse.

Better phone systems than Comcast. More streamlined and easier to use than Solutionreach with a more focused feature set. Integrates with Nextech. Solutionreach does have the best custom appointment reminders and recall email marketing functionality in the HIPPA-compliant industry, in my experience
