I would appreciate more recommendations for critical default settings during onboarding assistance > > The 24/7 customer service experience is amazing. Not only are the responses timely and thorough, but the staff also goes above and beyond to research my question before providing a detailed description with illustrated screen shots to walk me through step-by-step. In one instance, the customer service rep provided me with a narrated video walking me through the process on the back side of my actual account. Heads and shoulders above the competition in their ability and commitment to helping managers become fluent with their software. ----- ### "Reasonable platform, good Customer Service so far" — 4.0/5 > **Christian** | *24 September 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works for single unit properties at a reasonable price > > **Cons**: Design could do with a bit of a refresh, feels out of date. Not entirely intuitive. > > Trying to manage 3 sales channels efficiently ----- ### "Mind Blowing Product" — 5.0/5 > **Cathy** | *24 May 2018* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is our 4th year of using booking automation, we have grown from just 10 properties to 50+ and we are thankful we found this gem. It is very advanced and robust software which is the reason we have been able to scale our operation. The functionality and flexibility of the product never cease to amaze me > > **Cons**: It takes a while to learn about all the features of the software, 4 years later we are still discovering cool features we wish we found out earlier > > BA is our entire business and everything runs on it. ----- ### "This tool saves me a lot of time while managing my AirBnBs" — 5.0/5 > **Viler** | *20 December 2018* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have thought of every possible feature that can save you time while managing your short-term rentals. The dashboard page is my favorite is it summarizes everything I need to know in one place. The charge-automation feature is a huge time saver as well - it used to take me 3+ hours every night to charge all my booking.com and Expedia credit cards for my bookings. Now its only a few minutes. > > **Cons**: Given all the features there is a bit of a learning curve. While the tool does everything well, it could use a face-lift to make it look nicer. > > Highly recommend this tool to any serious short term rental manager who values their time. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/81630/booking-automation?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/81630/booking-automation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
