Pros from Real Users Pros Acuity Scheduling is an easy to use service that provides solutions for calendar and scheduling stuff, it is easy to customize everything to fit the needs of my business and the heavy schedules that each team member has, it can be perfectly customized for every individual and work perfectly for scheduling things as the week becomes busier. The way Acuity works is very intuitive and adjusts to the present, the rising technology and the way things are becoming now more automated and precise, it is helpful to put out our schedule for the week and let customers know availability without needing to reach out privately, and they can schedule the product they want in the available posts of our business schedules, and it will automatically update to the new availability after scheduling anything. This calendar can be fully customized and Acuity allows for the creation of multiple calendars that can be kept private so clients do not see them, and it works amazingly when it comes to sorting out our own individual schedule to figure out the best way to improve our workflow, and choose how we can customize the public calendar in a way that benefits both the customer and the business, providing a nice customer experience. It is an essential tool to have in order to get the most out of the customer experience, it allows us to recollect customer information by having them fill out forms for scheduling and this is an important part because we are able to know the customer better and will know in what ways we can provide a better service for them, it makes things easier for us to get more clients because the scheduling part becomes simple for both parties, it provides a stable service that is intuitive enough for everyone, and it improves communication to make things more customizable for the client. This software has all the features you need in a scheduling app. Create surveys and applications to screen appointees. Acuity Scheduling is an online assistant. It has made meetings a breeze. Easy-to-use and user-friendly. Customised scheduling page helps in scheduling meetings and saves lots of time. Works 24/7 to organise the schedule. 7 days free trial is available. Perfect software for small businesses. • Very easy to use, love it! • Lot’s of integrations, • Mainly use it for my massage bookings where customer can make a payment too via Stripe (PayPal and/or Square) • Very easy to embed it into my website, for each individual payment package, different links provided • My wife use it integrating with Zoom for live streaming classes, where participants gets unique link when they book and pay via Acuity Scheduling • Very happy with it!! It has everything you need for scheduling. It's easy to set up and it is very convenient for clients to schedule meetings. The design is great and the quick support service is priceless. Acuity Scheduling is the perfect tool for every business owner!		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros This is pretty much an all-rounder software and did all my work, from scheduling appointments to setting up an online store, recording testing levels, internal staff scheduling. The best part of the software is the customer support a big thumbs up for them, they hear all your queries and solve them as quickly as possible. It has everything needed to run my float center. It was easy to learn. And when I needed help, help was readily available. Wide variety of utilities and features at a single place with such ease of use is something any user would prefer. Customer management has never been easier. Super intuitive, extremely useful, multifunctional, fun and easy learning curve software that suits almost everyone of our needs. Fairly priced and great customer service to boot! Robust marketing automation and project management features. Easy to manage customer and staff information and services. Informative reports to analyze performance. Cons The limitation it had is that it doesn't have an application, this would have been amazing for the customers to manage all the work easily. A single email address can be used for only one account. Therefore, if a husband and wife desire separate accounts but use the same email address, their accounts must be merged. The hefty monthly payment might make you reluctant but its worth going for it. It's hard to find any cons. Mass update functionality might be a nice bonus. Overall it's an outstanding platform.
