Everything has gotten worse from five years ago to today. Nothing has improved. It only gets worse over time > > **Cons**: It has gotten much worse. They won't let you use your own merchant services firm and their response times have gone from 20 minutes to three days ----- ### "Long Time User - I Highly Reccomend\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Leanna** | *22 September 2022* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: All inclusive, multi-functional, customize-able, and intuitive. You can become an expert by simply clicking around. The included staff training is very useful and effective. Customization is a 4/5, you can do almost anything you want within the confines of their general set up. The system is reliable and updates in the background with little to no impact on user experience. > > **Cons**: The client portal isn't the most aesthetically pleasing and can be confusing at times. The customer support hours are stringent, and they lack a phone support option; but after you go live you need to contact support so infrequently it makes little impact. In my 5+ years working with their software I have needed to contact support maybe half a dozen times. My one big issue is the implementation team. At a previous employer, that was in the process of opening a daycare, I knew more about their software than half the team helping. BUT if you have any technological literacy it shouldn't be that major of an issue, just annoying. > > I love Gingr and am currently on a mission to convince my new employer to switch. If you have a dog care facility use them. ----- ### "Gingr for Animals" — 4.0/5 > **Elora** | *11 April 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is very user-friendly compared to similar programs. It is easy to train new employees how to use it, even if they have never worked with a comparable software. > > **Cons**: It does not always assign dogs to the selected room type which causes issues later on when we are full and selling out of rooms. The list of animals on the dashboard refreshes every time you update one of them which gets frustrating when you are trying to update multiple animals for one owner. The dog detail page does not show all of the information for that dog (color, room type, etc.). > > We are satisfied overall with Gingr and only have a few things (mentioned above) that we would love to see changed to help things run more smoothly here. ----- ### "Booking with ease" — 5.0/5 > **Jasmin** | *29 April 2022* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like most that it's easy to use, serves for so many purposes in our Company such as booking Grooming Appointments, walk in services, daycare stays, daycare Evaluations, classes, and now we can use it in our multiple locations as well > > **Cons**: The only cons lately have been inconsistent customer service with longer wait times, and the Phone Number search feature not working lately has made some booking over the phone take longer. Phone number search is usually our go to Customer look up. It leaves us with less room for error and less time on the phone with the customer for easier booking > > Overall Gingr has been a great asset to our company, and was such an ease to transition into when we switched from our old Booking system. So many features, and so easy to use. ----- ### "Great Appointment Scheduling Software" — 4.0/5 > **Lena** | *7 September 2022* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that there are so many features and that they are easily accessible for both our customers and our stuff. I like that we are able to customize our customers experience and communicate with them easily. > > **Cons**: It is very hard to implement and set up new software, it is also hard to export data if needed. > > Overall the software is easy to use, customer friendly, and not that expensive. Out of other comparable software we feel that this one has more functionality and more customization options. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/223150/gingr?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/223150/gingr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
