"Very happy with the software and support staff."

Mark B.

"As a side job, I helped schedule appointments using eSoft for a sport facility, and I loved how simple and easy it was to use. I liked the way the software notified our customers to inform them of their upcoming appointments. I also liked the way customers could book their own appointments in the system without having to call the establishment. Customers can easily add money to their account using a credit card. It's that simple!"

Julie A.

"My husband and I have really enjoyed our experience with eSoft Planner. When choosing a business platform, we wanted something that made sense, both from a financial and organizational standpoint. eSoft has given us the ability to focus on both player and business development, thereby enhancing quality services overall. Their support/customer service team is top notch. I highly recommend this platform for big and small businesses."
