Go Green Clean Testimonial

What were your largest business challenges before using VaZing?
Staying organized, making scheduling changes, working to many hours and wasting to much paper.

How were you running your business before VaZing?
We had started off with a dry erase board and obviously that doesn't work too well when people make scheduling changes. We schedule about 6 weeks in advance and would have to erase jobs in ten different places and it would get pretty confusing. So that was the thing that VaZing was able to eliminate for us. It was laborious using the board and only got harder and harder with every new employee we hired.

Can you describe how you handled those challenges before VaZing?
The data entry was a little bit clunky because we had to go into three programs. We tried just using a Google calendar at first, but then we were also entering data into QuickBooks. The calendar just couldn't work well when we had to make changes and it couldn't account for all the different variables that we were using.

How has your day to day life changed since you started using VaZing?
Now we're only entering data in one place and we can see the different variables of our business all in one place. In general I wouldn't recommend anyone not to use scheduling and management software and I think that VaZing is the best thing out there.

Has VaZing made running your business easier? If so, how?
Yes. Our goal is to add 10 new clients a week and we are able to do that smoothly with VaZing. We can see where we have gaps in our schedule. It really makes it very efficient to find out right away if we have room to put new people on that day or if we have to put them under a different day. It has helped us grow and it has helped us to become efficient and to not make any type of scheduling conflicts.

What advice would you give another service business owner that is looking at a service management solution?
First off is cost. One of the things that really helped us choose VaZing was cost. We had looked at several solutions and some of them ran into the thousands of dollars for desktop solutions. Also ease of use was very important, along with support. The support we've been able to get for the program has been great. There have been several people in the company who've worked with us to help us really use the program more effectively.

Can you describe the benefits or issues if any with using a web-based software?
The business is my wife's; I'm here to help her out with it but I still have a full-time job. One of the benefits of VaZing is that I'm able to have my full time job, be on the road, but still help her out. I'll be traveling on the road and out of St. Louis but I'm able to access VaZing, look at the schedule, and make changes for her. Being able to offer unlimited access to our employees to look at the schedule if they want is another great benefit. They know what's going and don't need access to desktop software or have to get into our main computer, so that's a great benefit.

Can you tell me about your experience with the people here?
One of the real advantages of VaZing is that it seems like the company is really striving to make improvements in the software all the time and that they are really looking for customer feedback. We usually got a call upwards of once a week when we were initially rolling it out and now that we're fully implemented usually about once a month to see how everything is. The main thing is that they take our input and they use it.

Do you have any additional comments on VaZing?
There's almost so much that it can do at this point that you can either use it as part and parcel or you can use all the functionality. It really is a time saver and it really can cut down on the data entry you're doing as a service business.
