    I never had to reach out for any help with the system, there was really good information on how to use Genbook. Any time a new feature was out, the how-to video was right there with it. I hate that Genbook merged with Booksy, I've had nothing but issues with Booksy, There's no customer service at all, on any forms of communication if you need help with Booksy.

    We have been working in IT for many years and we can say that the software fulfills what it promises but mostly I would say that it is oriented for businesses that are just starting out and if that is your case, friend, let me tell you that the software will save you many organizational problems.

    Pros
    Genbook
    • Manufactured time for my more essential job duties as owner
    • It requires a credit card for all scheduling. Takes away the whole ask awkwardness.
    • Sifts out the not so serious purveyors of massage and keeps those that are.
    • Provides gift certificate purchase in increments or whole amounts. Saves me time.

    • Interface is quite clunky, not the most friendly UI
    • Says they attract new customers but it doesn't happen that often unless you have a really cheap offer

    AcuBase Pro is my practice management software. The only overlap for me is that they both function as customer databases. I would love to see integration between the software in the calendars.

    Vagro has lot of listing listing from nearby places and one can really walk up to the place using and understanding the map which can be very helpful in terms of getting into the spa or the saloon the best part is the timings and the payment feature that can be seen.

    Return on Investment

    • Save me money. I do not need to hire a receptionist. People book directly online often without ever speaking with me.
    • People can book at all hours of day or night.
