Demandforce vs. Solutionreach

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.

I would stay away from this company. Not sure why the change, but over the past 2 years literally every level of the organization from tech support through to the CEO has shown complete lack of responsiveness, concern or interest in solving their most loyal client's most basic problems. Their incompetence finally drove us to cancel our accounts after over 10 years with them.

• 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.

• SR will email, text or call your appointments as many times or as few as you want to remind them of their appointments with you. * Ours are set to 2 days before and 2 hours before the appointment.
• You can set up SR to recall patients and remind them they need to schedule an appointment if they have not been seen in your office. * When we first turned this on we had to set the recurrence WAY out because we received so many appointments we became booked 4 months out. It is now set to every 12 months.
• This one saves you money on the cost of postcards and stamps not to mention the time it takes your staff to put them all together.
• Group Messages are the BEST! This enables your office staff to notify patients for a whole day or week about a closing, delay or any changes in your schedule with one quick email instead of someone having to take home a print-out and make these calls from home.

• Flexibility in Design!
• Overall Look & Feel of Templates (look at what Squarespace is doing, it is possible!)
• Usability (it's a bit clunky)

• Landline versus mobile and email. If a patient has a landline and an email or a landline and a mobile number it automatically eliminates the landline confirmation. Some of our eldery patients don't like or know how to text but they have a cellphone. I have a multitude of patients I still have to make a confirmation phone call to because SR won't send a landline call because they have a mobile number.
• Newsletter editing. Wish it was a little easier to edit. That being said I do love the overall selection and use of Newsletters.

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.

We save too much time with Solution Reach to turn back now.

Because I am all about customer service and they are right on it!

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.

Solutionreach, in my opinion, is more user-friendly. They are also very quick to offer a helping hand in areas that might stump us. I also love that unlike Demandforce when we were using it Solutionreach is always on top of things. If for some reason our server has an issue and they don't receive the upload they need with our information someone is on the phone calling me to let me know. This is not the case with all software systems most don't inform you, you have to call for help when you notice that it hasn't uploaded with the data. This could put you weeks behind on your correspondence.

• It's taken a lot of the reporting and guesswork out of the equation. That has saved us a lot of money.

Incentivized

• Increased revenue from appointments that may have been missed had they not received a confirmation or reminder call about an appointment. Able to fill that spot with someone else...
• Keeps our physicians in the forefront of the patients minds when thinking about healthcare for their child.
• We take pride in being a part of a family in assisting them with the care of their children. So birthday reminders and fun flyers or newsletters allow us to stay connected.
