Avis clients sur Scout

Awesome App, FANTASTIC customer service

Commentaires : Overall, I love the app!

Avantages :

I absolutely love this app! It makes it so easy for my clients to request services, to charge my clients, and to get paid! They are always adding new features to the app as well, most recently they added the option to customize the app to have your business logo instead of Scout's, so cool! another great thing about this app is that the people behind the scenes are invested and their work and their customers! They are always very responsive when I have an issue and really go above and beyond to help in whatever way they can! Another one of the awesome features they offer is a plug in so you can have a contact form on your website that will filter leads directly into the scout website and I was having trouble installing the plugin so [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] did it for me! Thanks [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]!

Inconvénients :

I did take off one star for functionality, I wish I could have just been a half a star because it's not the biggest deal but sometimes when I go to check in a dog for a service and take the picture the app restarts and doesn't check in the dog and I have to wait for the app to restart reopen the client and then take the picture again and of course it always happens when the first picture was awesome! it's happened in the past and I told them and they definitely made it better, it doesn't happen every time but it still happens every now and then.

Awesome Software from and Awesome Team

Commentaires : This is one of the best tools for a growing pet care business. The scheduling management alone prevents human error that leads to dissatisfied clients. The interactive payroll feature makes things MUCH easier if you pay your staff per appointment. Before the pandemic, I was seeing accelerated growth of the company due to more efficient management, staff management (tools for supervising work quality), and more time to actually speak with clients. I started using Scout for Dog Walking and Pet Sitting, and now use it for Dog Training appointments as well. I recommend it to other pet care companies who are trying to compete with app based corporations.

Avantages :

-drag and drop scheduling in the Staff calendar -customizable automatic charges for weekends and holidays -view report cards and GPS maps of past appointments for staff accountability -interactive payroll reports -automatic Sales tax on invoices -ability of client to pre-pay with account credits -secure credit card and paypal processing through braintree -staff profiles store important information -I can add administrator and staff calendars to my google calendar -client app can be branded for individual businesses -STELLAR customer service -a team that listens to customers and updates the platform with new features regularly

Inconvénients :

-can't manually add any non-taxable items onto an invoice (yet!) IE: Gratuity, Reimbursement for cab fare, etc.

Limited, buggy, poor & grumpy support

Commentaires : The owner / operator, 1 man show behaves like his software is perfection. Behaves insulted when you attempt to give constructive criticism on a growing and developing product. Even when sharing comments from my clients he just dismissed me. Retorts by mentioning his ‘thousands of happy clients.’ He has never owned a pet sitting business and is missing the subtle nuances that could make this product great and is NOT open to making the product better or making his clients happy.

Avantages :

Fun modern design. Great potential. Pretty good price point & responsive email support. Has helped me see exactly what we need moving forward. Most of the time email support is good.

Inconvénients :

Too many seemingly simple things to list: No On / off toggle to customize preferences. Clients are bombarded with so many useless automated emails that when it’s an important one they get ignored. (No option to turn off check in / out emails). *Don't even attempt to ask for phone support even in an emergency!!!! I truly dread having to email them for help as there is attitude. Email support is often good but sometimes I dont even get a reply. The app is constantly buggy either not loading or reminding you 20x up to 10pm to check out a dog that was already checked out!! Bing bing bing bing. No way to turn this off either. Blank screen. Happens Every day on app for iphone & android. Schedule continues to show cancelled appointments. They are in a different color but really clog up schedule and there is no way to delete them off the schedule, only cancel them. You cannot delete a client. Only deactivate. Which when sending out bulk emails is absurd ie: i sent out a bulk email and it was sent to a client who’s dog had died 3 months previous 😞🙃 Schedule often doesn't load for staff at all lately- a total nightmare to run a business like this

The best pet sitting software I previewed!

Commentaires : Overall I would give Scout 100 gold stars if I could.

Avantages :

Not only do I love the ease of use of this software, my clients do too! So many comment about how easy it is to book appointments, and how simple Scout has made billing (it's automatic!). Scout is always being improved upon, and the customer service is beyond top notch. You also cannot beat the cost.

Inconvénients :

No Cons! Any feature I have wanted for is on their list of "to-dos" to have out by the end of the year.

Scout was a great choice for my business

Commentaires : Our clients find Scout easy to use. They really enjoy the visit reports and photos that are automatically sent to them upon the completion of each service. The customer service with Scout is top notch. Best of all the software works properly, every time. Scout is highly automated which saves me a ton of time on administrative duties compared to the software I had previously.

Avantages :

Scout is easy to use and reliable. In the field I need software to work properly, every time. I can't waste precious time uninstalling and re-installing an app and with Scout I don't have to. The app is gorgeous and my clients seem to love it as much as I do.

Inconvénients :

The only drawback for me at this time is that billing cannot be customized (pre-pay, packages, etc.). This is something our previous software had and I've been telling my clients "It's coming" for a little over two months. But I am confident it is coming and I appreciate that Scout takes the time and care to do things properly - you don't want glitches with payments.

Great app at a great price for pet care business

Commentaires : Loving that I now have the Upton for GPS tracking & timed report cards. Clients love it and I think it is much better than just texting someone about how their dog did.

Avantages :

The price for the amount of features you get. The app for customers is great and the report cards look great! I love that it is nice for my clients and looks great while doing it! Also, no glitches so far!! Works great!!

Inconvénients :

Customers can't create accounts themselves (I have to get some info and create it first, then they have to finish creating it) and can leave important questions unanswered when activating their account.

The best decision for my business!

Commentaires : Scout was, without a doubt, the best decision I could have made when growing my business from pen and paper scheduling to a software platform. Customer support could not have been better and the transition to their platform was basically seamless. I would recommend them again and again.

Avantages :

Flexibility to customize services and pricing structure to fit my unique business model.

Inconvénients :

I can’t really say I disliked anything! Having joined early in this software’s existence there were some features that I had to wait to get until they were released but really, no complaints!

Great app for pet services

Avantages :

- Ease of use - Customized to my business with our logo and color scheme - NO EXTRA FEES! most other apps take a percentage of the sales. Scout has a flat fee, regardless of how much or how little you make a month. It makes it easy to budget.

Inconvénients :

- I wish they had a "chat" feature to directly communicate with our clients. The only way to communicate as of now is via email. - Their boarding/pet sitting process is a bit tedious, wish they had a way to adjust the booking and notifications to not overwhelm clients with tons of emails (an email is sent every day the dog boards)

Great App, Great Developers

Avantages :

The developers are always trying to improve the software to make the user experience efficient. Customer service is top notch- they will always answer any issues or confusion you might have with the software very quickly.

Inconvénients :

A little difficult to set up every feature. They offer so many features it can be overwhelming.

Excellent app

Commentaires : I wouldn’t be without it

Avantages :

I love the ease of booking appointments and my clients also love the app and how easy it is to add pets and book appointments

Inconvénients :

I would like an option to turn off photo check in the dogs aren’t always easy subjects to photograph

Great product and friendly/responsive staff

Commentaires : Overall, very positive. We’ve had a few issues with customers phones not being updated or the app being a little wonky but the team at Scout is always right on it and happy to help. We never feel like we’re left to fend for ourselves because they’re just a simple chat away.

Avantages :

I love the simplicity of using it. The software seemed very familiar from the get-go and most of our customers have no questions at all on how to set up. This saves us a lot of Bach and forth emails.

Inconvénients :

It does lack some features such as iCal integration, and branding capabilities. They do seem open to suggestions but those are things that would make this product a 10/10 for me

Scout Software

Avantages :

The best feature of this software is the ease of use - its very intuitive and there’s little to no learning curve to get the most out of it.

Inconvénients :

It would be helpful if the app or mobile version were a little more user friendly.

Great support

Commentaires : I can't complain so far. the things I like least aren't deal breakers...just things that I see could get better in the future as the folks there get more input from real people and experiences.

Avantages :

I love the Scout app for it's ease of use on the client end. My customers love it and I do as well when it comes to knowing my schedule and all that fun stuff. Also Scout is very quick at getting back to me with questions and concerns.

Inconvénients :

I have spoken to folks at Scout about making version of the app for the administrator. Being a one man operation at the moment doesn't have me with a lap top all the time to take care of things like approving schedules and what not. I'd love to be able to use the app for working on my billing summaries or changing schedules while I'm out and about.

scout - for dog walkers

Commentaires : Amazing experience and always get great feedback from my customers too.

Avantages :

Scout is super easy to use and all of my customers love it too - it allows me to keep up to date with my appointments and allows me to give a great report card at the end and allows me to upload pictures of the dogs for their owners. It is super easy to set up too. It keeps all of your invoices and allows customers to pay through the app!

Inconvénients :

There is nothing i dislike about the software!

Changed Our Business

Avantages :

Ever since we've adopted Scout into our business, it's been night and day. It makes our services more transparent and easier for the customer to book. Scout's customer service is also amazing. You never feel they're too busy to help and they always get back to you if they aren't able to help right away.

Inconvénients :

I don't think there are any cons. The team is very open to feedback and ideas from its users. I think it's going to continue to evolve into an even better product.

Great!

Commentaires : I have been having a really good experience so far. I haven’t been using it for that long, but it is serving my purposes well.

Avantages :

This is a great app for tracking my appointments and invoicing my clients. I am a member of both Wag and Rover, and each platform has advantages and disadvantages. I like Scout because it functions very well and I only pay a monthly subscription instead of the platform taking a percentage of each separate booking. It was designed primarily for walk services so there are a few odd things about overnight bookings, but it lets me manage my business at my own pace which is really awesome.

Inconvénients :

The start and stop times of individual bookings is weird, and there are things I would change about overnight stay bookings, but the app makes it clear it is a work in progress.

The best management software for dog walking / sitting businesses.

Commentaires : Scout has enabled me to manage my business more efficiently, I've minimised time spent on scheduling & can manage my team more effectively. Scout has also has enabled plan my business growth knowing that I have a reliable tool to manage some key parts of the day to day functions within the business.

Avantages :

The best features are: - Team schedules / client appointment management - Client reporting - Easy to use

Inconvénients :

There is no mobile admin app (only a web app).

I love Scout!

Avantages :

I have been using the scout app for about 6 months now, and I love it! I never have issues with the app, and customer support is great. No complaints! Everything is very customizable to fit my needs.

Inconvénients :

I haven't run into any issues yet! The app always runs smoothly, I've never run into any problems with it not working correctly.

Scout for petsitters

Commentaires : Good. Good support. The support staff is always willing to help with a problem or walk you thru a tutorial

Avantages :

Customers like receiving the daily reports and being able to keep track of their pets while away

Inconvénients :

Takes awhile to book visits for a vacation where we are visiting a home 4x a day. Would be much easier if there were a screen where we could quickly check "breakfast, lunch, dinner, bed" visits and then select the dates. Done. Not individually adding a breakfast visit for x days and then individually adding a lunch visit for x days..... Also, need an admin app where I can see when my staff is checking in and checking out etc. I know I can get on website and look at data but, I'm out in field as well.

Best software and team

Avantages :

Love the continuous improvement and features.

Inconvénients :

Very little bad to say, they always listen to input.

Wonderful solution

Avantages :

It meets all your needs and more, and the team is always making upgrades which is really great.

Inconvénients :

It would be great if Scout could be mobile friendly for business owners. But this is the only con, and it isn't really a big deal.

Perfect for a growing business

Avantages :

Easy to use Grows with you Professional check in reports Accurate GPS tracking Great customization

Inconvénients :

Updates usually have a couple of days to work out the bugs No text communication with the owners, just email

Amazing!

Commentaires : Simply amazing, I have used other apps similar but non can compare. I had great customer support and positive feedback from my clients on how much they like this app!

Avantages :

Smooth interface Loads scheduling quickly for myself and for the clients GPS map of our walks Reminders to clock out (which I truly needed) I absolutely love that the weather is right there in the corner as well!

Inconvénients :

Everything is pretty much straight forward, so honestly none!

Must Have for Start-Up Pet Care Business

Commentaires : I've had a wonderful experience with Scout. It' helped my business look and be professional right from the start. I recommend the software for any size pet care business.

Avantages :

Very easy to use for both me and my clients. Puts my business on a similar level to large companies such as Wag by having map and report card features

Inconvénients :

Some app glitches including not showing scheduled appointments. I wish we could send videos to clients

Great for my small business

Commentaires : It’s been very helpful in my startup pet care company, my clients seem happy and have enjoyed the freedom to book via an app.

Avantages :

It’s very easy to use and fairly easy to setup.

Setting up the payments with Braintree..
