5.0

Andrew: My name is Andrew, and I'm the Director. I give Practice Ignition a five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. I was considering Go Proposal, and at the time I did not go with that product because it wasn't the full package. There was still some things missing compared to Practice Ignition. It was an all in one system or a product that I could use, and that made things so simple. And also the fact that it integrates with other existing software just cuts out the work, I guess, the double handling of tasks and just made things so much easier. First getting started with Practice Ignition, there was quite a bit of a learning curve, particularly with just setting up templates and things. However, the support that they provided, there was a lot of hand holding and just made things a lot easier with the resources that they had provided. Practice Ignition is really perfect for the sole practitioner that's time poor. The fact that it handles your direct debit payments from your clients, creating proposals and sending them off to your clients and having them sign them, linking that with your CRM, it's an all in one package that really simplifies things and makes things so much easier and gives you less to worry about and less to think about while everything is running in the background. You are able to focus on the work and the more important things in running your business.
