Pros
The software has a great design and is easy to use both on our end and for our customers. The customer service has been amazing so far, conversations had with the support team has been very helpful and insightful. We had to learn and make some adjustments to make this work for our industry, but we always got quick answers and suggestions on how we use certain solutions within Waitwhile would make it even better.
We are now able to serve our customers faster than ever, but also with internal productivity for preparing our products. For the price, this software brings great value to our company and customers. Also, the number of features available allows for a number of customizations.
Cons
We do not have any complaints really about this product so far. It's been a learning curve for us to best apply it to our industry, but with the guidance from Waitwhile it's become a good investment for us. We did have some issues with the message delivery for some customers, but the Waitwhile team has always been promptly getting back to us with troubleshooting.

It has really helped our client satisfaction.
It has really helped our client satisfaction.
Pros
I like that I am able to categorize the kind of appointment for the agents, and add the address of the office for our clients, since we have a satelite office.
Cons
I wish we could do appoints on the :15 Only being able to do :00 and :30 is frustrating as we try to see as many clients as possible each day.
Response from Waitwhile

Has become an integral part of our business
Reviewed on 2024/06/16
Started as a temporary solution during the pandemic, has now become integral to our business
Started as a temporary solution during the pandemic, has now become integral to our business
Pros
We initially implemented WaitWhile during the pandemic where there was a limitation on occupancy at our retail stores and it has now become an important process since then. We now use it at all our locations, and it helps our staff manage their time with proper scheduling of appointments as opposed to accepting any walk ins and informal bookings as we did previously. The UI is easy to use and our staff members who accept bookings through their tablets find no troubles navigating the platform.
Cons
Nothing in particular from the platform stood out as an issue.
