Conor M
CEO
5.0

Conor: My name is Conor. I'm the CEO of InstaTours, a tourism company, and I give FareHarbor five out of five. Yeah, so I used some of the res-tech companies other than FareHarbor. I found that they had a monthly subscription where FareHarbor is more pay as you go, so that's what I preferred. Also, I thought the FareHarbor support and demo were excellent, so I was able to get up to speed quicker. So it's easy to understand and hard to master in terms of there's a lot of functionality options when you get to it. I chose FareHarbor because it could also do a couple of locations, so I had it for Ireland and it for the UK and it was pay as you go. So every time I made a sale they took off some of that. So if I had some months where I made no sales, I didn't have to pay FareHarbor anything, which is really good for starting off when you don't know how big demand is and you're just trying to get going. So you don't have a heavy monthly payment with FareHarbor, it's more pay as you go. I thought it was really easy because they just set up a call with someone to show you how to demo the system and you give them some details, they set it up for your specifications already, so you don't need to do too much of setting up. It's already there for you. You just have to learn how to use it. Now with any new system, there's a bit of trial and error, but I just thought with FareHarbor there was very little error and you got up to speed very quickly with it, which was useful. Yeah, I'd definitely say use the trial and demo it, and it depends on nature of your tourism business, but it should fit most businesses. The people that set it up were tourism business owners in Hawaii and you can really feel that they were once the owner operators of their own tourism business. That's why they've solved all the problems. The support is excellent, they'll get back to you in an hour. So I'd say just trial it, give it two weeks and interact a lot with it and make your decision after that.
