Pike13 is well suited for a membership/subscription based service business, where invoicing is directly tied to a scheduled event. It is limited as a "retail cash register" for the sale of physical goods/merchandise with no readily available inventory system tied to sales.

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.

Cons
Jonas Software
  • The ability of the reporting function is strong, but the interface is not user friendly.
  • The payroll function would be more powerful if it was integrated with main payroll providers.

  • 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.

I haven't used the support at Pike13 directly. Our franchisor's IT department serves as an intermediary and seeks support at Pike13 on our behalf when required.

  • 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.
