### "The bees knees"

September 26, 2018

5.0

We will use the system to cut down on the amount of administration we do, to have the admin tasks done as a workflow is great and enables me to be more customer focused

Pros

It does exactly what we want it to do whilst giving our customers efficiency

Cons

I havent come accross anything that I dont like at the moment

### "Perfect for organisations who require a first class helpdesk"

June 11, 2024

5.0

Pros

Access PlanIT has supported our team to implement the software for use for booking 300+ courses, roughly 80 per term supporting 1500 students + per year. This has benefitted every type of person in our organisation. E.g. the students have benefitted from having a student portal and more frequent e-mail communications and course reminders, as well as being to access their course materials easily. Our trainers have benefitted from being easily able to access student information including special requirements to be auto pulled through to their registers which we set up a custom field for. The trainers can share documents with students and send out attendance certificates with one tick of a box and download their sign-in sheets with one click. The administrative team have benefitted from the automated e-mails which include following up on 'No Attend' students and sending out 'Expressions of Interest' and 'Enrolment confirmations', 'feedback surveys', and many more. My role is as a trainer for the College however, with no prior experience I took on the role of project manager who embedded Access PlanIT into our College. I have appreciated the support from the helpdesk and ticketing help system that in place to manage your questions and ideas and help problem-solves issues as they arise. The staff on the helpdesk know their software inside and out and have great suggestions and get back to you in a timely manner. The customer service is first-class. I would have really struggled without the helpdesk. I was never made to feel silly for asking a question and the team did not use technical jargon that baffled me. They respond to emails within a day, often within the hour. 5\* customer service and support.

Cons

It is a very long journey to set-up, tailor the features for our use and implement across the team. It took us well over 18 months+ but bear in mind in our organisation we did not have an I.T expert so this might be much quicker for teams who have a person with prior knowledge/skills or have been through the process before. We also only had someone able to work on it part-time. Also we have staff sickness and turnover which all impacted our set-up time. But this is worth thinking about if it applies to you as the set-up and embedding of the software might be a longer process than you imagine. However once it is set-up it is wonderful and every person in every job position in your organisation will benefit.

Reason for choosing accessplanit

They were able to confirm they could tailor the product to meet our requirements.

### "Accessplanit does what is required of it"

August 7, 2018

3.0

Pros

The system is able to deliver what we set out for it to complete. It is prompt with sending emails out to our client and is able to support the eLearning packages we upload. We have a lot of users with our account and we have ease of access to each user. I like that we can impersonate users as this helps diagnose issues that our users may be experiencing quicker.

Cons

The software is slow and often when we are issuing eLearning to 100's users this can affect our colleagues' speed and ultimately affect the quality of work.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the eLearning issuing is not as fast as you would like it to be. I have passed your feedback on to our support team

### "Implementation of Accessplanit"

August 3, 2023

4.0

We are still in the first few weeks since going live and the team are still getting used to the system. Implementation has taken longer than I had anticipated but I hadn't had any previous experience of such implementation. Overall the support from the company has been good and the team at Accessplanit have been responsive and the system will bring efficiencies to our service

Pros

We invested in Accessplanit because as our training provision expanded we needed to be able to manage bookings efficiently on a larger scale. One of the key features important to us is the automated functions such as email sending links to surveys, links to training and certificates all of which had to be done manually previously

Cons

Users do not have to pay for training, our training is free at the point of delivery yet the payment page could not be removed for us. Setting up surveys is clunky and takes a lot longer than through MS forms which is what we have used previously. The surveys don't look very professional either- they look quite outdated and presentation could be improved greatly

### "Flexible platform with great support"

February 2, 2024

5.0

We have been using Accessplanit for around 8/9 years now and have been well managed from the start. The platform has changed significantly during our time but all for the better. I would happily recommend this software to anyone looking to manage their training courses. It really has made my job easier!

Pros

The company strive to make the platform even more user friendly and innovative and are continuously evolving the system. The support team are approachable, contactable and always happy to help. The flexibility in automations the system offers has really changed the way my team work and made our jobs significantly easier as well as improved communication with our customers. We spend much less time on basic admin and communication tasks and far more on the tasks which give our clients a more human experience.

Cons

Some of the backend work is occasionally complex for some members of my team and requires a bit more knowledge than common administrative practises, that being said the Accessplanit team is there to offer support.

### "Improving efficiency"

September 5, 2019

4.0

For a small company AP were very effective in getting us up and running quickly with this software, and good at coaching us through the initial set-up. We had a difficult transition period when the legacy system was switched to the new system, but they were eventually able to give us the support we needed. AP have some very useful hints, tips and 'help' information and are fairly good at letting us know about software releases and glitches.

Pros

It has extended our automated functionality, allowing us to communicate more efficiently with our customers and save valuable administrative time

Cons

Have still not got the hang of the easiest way to achieve financial reporting for my company - the finance data slicing could be improved Integration with other systems has not worked so far

Reason for choosing accessplanit

Web-hosted, modular hosting - potential integration with other systems. Ease of set-up and cost

### "Good features and fairly easy to use for account managers"

June 29, 2022

4.0

My experience is generally pretty good and I use it every day.

Pros

It wasn't that hard to pick up and learn how to use it compared to our previous LMS. New starters have found it quick & easy to pick up for most functions.

Cons

It can be quite faffy at times - for example, not being able to change a course name after it's been booked on unless you use an alias which isn't advised. When this happens you have to cancel the original booking and re-do it, which is a bit time consuming...

### "LMS Implementation"

April 11, 2019

5.0

I have enjoyed working with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] to get our LMS implemented. They have been flexible when we needed it and have been 100% responsive. I am looking forward to getting to know the system better and improve our companies processes as a result.

Pros

I am still very much getting to know the software. However, what I see so far makes me confident there is less room for human error and more room for efficiency in our Operations team.

Cons

It is not always obvious where to find things or how to do things. However, I would caveat that with the customer support we received from our Project Manager, Customer Success Manager and the help desk has been brilliant!

### "accessplanit TMS "

March 13, 2019

5.0

accessplanit customer service and technical support is fantastic. If I have a knowledge request or a suggestion with the system it is resolved/explored promptly. They have a continuous improvement attitude towards the system and listen and act upon their customers needs.

Pros

Datagrids and filters used throughout the system make for easy viewing and reporting.

Cons

The resource calendar seems a little behind the rest of the system and the limited number of resources that can be automatically cloned on course creation.

### "New to the system"

March 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

The accessibility is great and it is clearly laid out enabling me to make changes easily.

Cons

It can be a bit slow if you have a great many records open on the data grid, but this is lessened when the number of records is reduced, so that the refresh rate is quicker

Thank you for your excellent review. We are happy that you are finding the system easy to use and have noted your comment about the speed when you have lots of records open; something which we are looking to improve in the near future.

### "Happy user!"

March 20, 2019

5.0

Really good now its all up and running and we have most features in place. Looking forward to exploring and using more of its functionality.

Pros

The substantial difference it has made in streamlining processes and working more efficiently allowing booking bookings to me made. Reporting and having all course information in one place.

Cons

The time it took to implement the old system and then having to switch over and redo things eg. transferring elements to workflows. Hard to fit into current workload etc.

May 9, 2019

5.0

Administration time was reduced when we took on this software.

Pros

This software brought all of our user's training history and schedules into a single space. Users can search for and book all of the necessary training requirements in one place. Online training can be completed here too!

Cons

There are some inconsistencies in the searchability of some enquiries.

### "Accessplanit review for Speak First "

May 2, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like how easy it is too use. Easily accessible and easy to learn. I like how organised the system is.

Cons

I think it can be quite slow sometimes. Can't search by our client names, only by course names. But this could be something i haven't yet worked out.

Review Source

Response from accessplanit

May 9, 2019

Thank you for reviewing accessplanit. It's good to hear that you're finding the system easy to learn so far. In terms of searching by client names, it is possible to do so in certain areas of the system, so we'd advise that you get in touch with your implementation manager, if they haven't already been in touch about this system aspect.

### "Goodbye mundane tasks!"

September 18, 2019

4.0

It has really removed the mundane parts of my job and allowed me to think about how else we can use this system to smooth out administrative problems. It has a lot of potential.

Pros

The software is great for the administrator. The admin view is easy to navigate and it it has really streamlined our processes. The helpdesk team are always on hand to help with any queries.

Cons

For the user, it isn't as nice to look at as it is for the administrator. Accessing knowledge documents and E-Learning involves a booking process rather than a quick launch.

April 18, 2018

5.0

It makes my job so much easier when looking for information.

Pros

It's data storage capabilities allow easy referencing and reporting to enable KPI data to be kept, tracked and updated regularly

Cons

Some useful areas are still under development which would make dual processes within our organisation not necessary eg: direct text and email facilities

### "using system to book events and chase invoices "

August 2, 2018

4.0

useful and easy to use

Pros

Really intuitive system, simple to search and see what each account and users have associated events. bugs have also been resolved a lot, which is good

Cons

don't know if it's specific to us, but the lack of centre's being able to set up a booker as a customer delegate. This has led to people editing their accounts rather than booking delegates, which leads to difficulty.

### "Very good, however there are a few things that I think can be improved to make it easier to use."

April 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

Everything is in one place. There is a lot of help available should it be needed. Helpful to keep all information on the same system. Makes coordinating courses easier. I particularly like the calendar and how it can give you all the information you need by just hovering over the course you are interested in, this saves a lot of time and means that I can relay the information to customers more efficiently.

Cons

In some places I believe that things could be better organised, and simpler to use in order to save time and be most efficient, for example adding opportunities and generating documents for the same person.

### "Good functionality "

July 14, 2019

5.0

I find it quite easy to use and is reasonably intuitive. I can find all the information I need but it would be good if we could have a spilt screen to source other information whilst remaining on one of the main screens.

Pros

Quite easy to use without in-depth training.

Cons

The ability to see more of what is on during one day in the monthly view. Needing to press more makes it difficult view other events at during that month at the same time.

10/10. Extremely helpful and patient. There is no such thing as a silly question (even though I know it is a silly question)

We are a newly created training center specialized in surgical and interventional training. We needed to plan courses, reserve a very large list of resources, automatize registration flow, and assign tasks to team members

The wide range of features could be overwhelming, but the accessplanit team is all there to assist and guide

April 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

Ease of finding the information I am looking for. I only need to use the system for a couple of things and these elements work just fine

Cons

I can see far more than I need to see for my role which sometimes gets my way. It would be nice to be able to restrict the menu to include just the functions I use.
