What do they think?
Having initially been a bit apprehensive about moving over from our previous booking system, I can safely say it's a decision we do not regret. SchoolHire did almost all the work and an effective strategy was put in place to ensure our customers had an easy transition over. Block bookings have become extremely easy to manage and this has been the standout timesaver, freeing up hours a month previously spent on generating invoices and chasing payments.
Within a short space of time we secured bookings from new customers, filling in some of the gaps in our calendar. SchoolHire’s customer service has been excellent from day one. They have always made sure to respond to queries that we have extremely quickly. The transition to the SchoolHire system was straightforward and I would recommend to any school who let their facilities to take a good look at the benefits SchoolHire can bring
We cannot recommend SchoolHire strongly enough. SchoolHire has revolutionised our lettings provision at every level. We can now offer our customers an effective, professional services that is easy and straightforward to use, both for customers and staff. Never again will your finance team have to chase unpaid lettings debts!
We love using the SchoolHire system. It saves us loads of time on a daily basis. Our customers take responsibility for their bookings and enjoy the fact that the process (including changes) can all be done online. SchoolHire assured us that the system would both increase our revenue and decrease our costs. I'm delighted to say that within a short period of time they did exactly that.
Working with SchoolHire has been a pleasure. They give great service and always go above and beyond to make sure our needs are being met. The system is fantastic, it is very effective but very simple to use. It manages and organises all bookings making staying on top of things a lot easier. We are delighted to be using the system and would recommend it to all venues alike.
Whilst we were slightly apprehensive about investing the time to change our system, the SchoolHire team ensured the process was swift and seamless. We now save hours a month due to invoicing and a full reconciliation being done by the system. Our users have taken to the system extremely well, enjoying the ability to see all the information they need online and being able to process and pay for a booking in their own time. As well as providing increased efficiency, we have seen an increase in both enquiries and ultimately revenue.
Whilst we were initially apprehensive about the transition for our customers, the SchoolHire team ensured this was as swift as possible. By the time the new academic year begun, all our block bookers had processed their bookings and an automatic payment plan was set up for each of them through the system. This has freed up huge amounts of time for us a school and has effectively tightened up the whole process. Importantly too, the customer service has been amazing - we always receive quick responses and they have been extremely easy to get through to over the phone.
SchoolHire has been excellent throughout. We feel that our lettings provision is far more professional with the introduction of SchoolHire. From advertisement to communication with customers, bookings and payment, to financial reports in to our principal, every step is easy and clear. This has revolutionised our processes, saving my team vast amounts of time.
We have been working with SchoolHire since the start of 2017 and have found their system and customer service to be fantastic. Although the system is incredibly intuitive, when required, their customer service has been excellent, even providing support on a Sunday when needed. The system makes admin life very easy with automatic payments and invoices etc. I would strongly recommend SchoolHire to all venues.
We have been incredibly impressed with the system, especially the fact that our customers can make their own bookings (which are then approved/adjusted by us). This means that we don't need to worry anymore about double bookings and trying to work out who has booked for when. The customer service SchoolHire provides is second to none, available around the clock, and we are also really happy that our lettings income has increased since using the system.
The system is easy to use and make accounting, booking and day to day management much easier than our old system and other systems that we looked at. The team at SchoolHire made implementation easy, they quickly understood our needs and took on board any minor tweaks that we needed. We are more than happy to recommend it as an efficient and practical system.
Joining SchoolHire has been a fantastic decision. From an efficiency point of view, there has been a significant reduction in the amount of time spent on lettings administration, for example, collecting payments and generating invoices. SchoolHire's marketing has helped us fill our dead slots which were previously vacant, helping us increase our revenue. I am extremely pleased with both the company and the system and would highly recommend it to all schools who let their facilities.
We are delighted to be working with SchoolHire. From our first contact, the company has bent over backwards in order to ensure our needs have been met and that we are receiving the highest customer treatment.
We would be more than happy to recommend SchoolHire to other venues.
At first we thought it too good to be true, but we are happy to report it really is an excellent, cost effective and professional service that we are proud to share with our customers.
