Jezzam

Top three are:

1. I love that I can manage availability for my tuition team and my resources separately. Some of my clients bring their own equipment and others use our kit, so it's great to be able to manage this properly at last. It has helped equipment hire become an extra source of revenue.

2. Jezzam has been really easy to use both for me and my clients. They also say they love using the FIND NEXT appointment function, it saves them the hassle by searching for them. I also really like the configuration checker which automatically checks if I have set things up correctly.

3. The low monthly cost compared to previous systems I've tried.

Overall: I would have no hesitation in recommending Jezzam to anyone who needs a powerful easy-to-use booking system. The feedback I've had from my clients has been extremely positive since I made the switch.

There have been a few niggly things like I had issues uploading the image for the mini website, but these have been fixed now and the support team are really responsive in sorting out issues and helping when I have questions.

Jezzam have managed to do what many other software companies fail...to solve a very complex problem with a very simple solution that is easy to use, intuitive, and, importantly, designed with the user firmly in mind.

Jezzam has enabled our students to take control of their bookings - allowing them to book and pay for lessons directly online. No more waiting lists or lots of phone calls back and forth! Our teachers are updated automatically through emails and calendar sync which provides real-time accurate information.

Our retail side of the business have had to quickly move to an appointment based approach due to COVID19. Jezzam was the natural choice and, within 5 minutes, we were able to implement appointments for click and collect, shop visits, instrument repair requests as well as using for track and trace.

The team at Jezzam are constantly developing and evolving the software, releasing new features and enhancements. They are very open to new suggestions for features and extra development points and spend time to understand exactly what and why that feature needs to be considered.

it is refreshing to work with an organisation that want to engage with their users to learn how Jezzam is being used and how it can be developed further.

I needed a booking system that could combine and reserve multiple resources automatically under a single booking to prevent over booking (they call it combined resources) it works really well for me .

Sometimes I had to sit a think about how I wanted to change my settings , it often took me a couple of attempts to find the correct section where I needed to make the change that I needed . But I got better at it the more I used it , bit like everything in life .

The software provided a booking system that we could immediately use instead of our previous, paper based system. Once members had given us an email address, we could get them in as customers within seconds. (We have now got an on line membership database so our playing members could be invited on block to become customers. That would save loads of time) It was easy for our members to log in and book spaces. Those few members who did not have means to access Jezzam were able to book through another member or via an administrator. . We have been able to adapt our booking from a class based booking on our outdoor greens to an event based system indoors and so have been easily able to control the number of people entering the club at once (Covid). It is extremely easy for sessions to be made unavailable for maintenance, leagues or matches and once a full programme of fixtures returns, we are sure that our fixtures secretary will find it incredibly useful. Within settings, the booking rules can be altered to suit and changes can be made incredibly easily. There are many “help” features to refer to but also the support chat is invaluable. Management arranged Zoom meetings very quickly to help with a problem that I could not solve. They show me how to use the system better. It has many advanced features that we have not used. We do not use the Jezzam software to anywhere near its potential but we can appreciate its possibilities for a bigger organisation

The ‘help’ section is large but it starts assuming that you can do the basics. eg. I wanted to send an adapted simple email to a customer - I customised the message but then could not work out how to send that message to customers without copying and paste. I feel the help section assumes a basic knowledge but is would be better to start the instructions right at the beginning - How to send a simple custom email. Assume we are all new and unsure; the more capable users can miss out the easy first steps.
