L’équipe répond extrêmement rapidement et prend toujours le temps de trouver des solutions. En tant que nouvelle entreprise, c’est rassurant de savoir que nous pouvons compter sur un soutien aussi efficace. La plateforme est également très intuitive, moderne et facile à utiliser, autant pour nous que pour nos clients. Cons Honnêtement, nous n’avons pas encore rencontré de problème majeur. Comme toute plateforme en constante évolution, il y a toujours de petites améliorations qui peuvent être apportées, mais l’équipe est très réceptive aux commentaires et travaille activement à faire évoluer le produit.

Day Care & Home Boarding of Dogs" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 16, 2019 Very Very good , i trial several soft wear systems before choosing Animalo they were by far the easiest to use and supportive. im not great with technology so they have been really patient and that appreciated. would very much recommend to all. Pros Ease of use, Customer Service, willingness to help the end user. Cons I don't really have any dislikes, and they are improving it all the time, so if i come across anything that is not quite working for me they look at it and try and develop a fix.

DB Dennis B. Pet Hotel Owner Recreational Facilities and Services ### "Excellent planning tool " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 1, 2019 As stated before. There is an ease of use and a swiftness in response from the program that really suits my needs. I've used the program on my computer, my iPad, my phone and all of them give immediate feedback with the most recent information. I personally love the iPad view which helps me be mobile as well as give my customers a feel that no other pet hotel owner can. The few times that I've had to appeal for support was dealt with swiftly and accurately. No question has been left unanswered. Better yet, they've gone further than expected on several occasions giving me more than what I asked for. Pros The ease of use is amazing. It's intuitive and very user friendly. The colors are pleasing to the eyes and really help to find your way. It's made for my business with understanding of the rules and regulations. I use is daily to book and check on occupancy. The dashboard helps me follow-up on what's coming in and what's going out. I have a view on who's paid and who still needs to pay. Multi-language contracts are easy to setup and personalize which is a big help. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better program to suit my needs. Cons It needs to develop a larger audience so that customers can quickly chose between the pet hotels with availability. A service like in the hotel business with booking.com would be ideal. I understand that this is a goal so I'm confident we'll be seeing this happen sooner rather than later. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) excel was an ok option, but it really took me a long time to plan and follow up. We had a paper planning which was at times not filled out correctly. This is a thing of the past. contracts respect the planning which wasn't always the case in the past. Several mistakes in pricing were made which are all impossible now. Reasons for choosing Animalo The contact with the business owner was personal and good. He delivered a product tailored to my needs. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
