ELMWOOD HALL – DANBURY SENIOR CENTER – Danbury, CT
“During the pandemic it became clear to me that we needed software that was powerful and could perform specific functions that are only required of senior centers. While we did have software, it lacked the logic, clarity, and user friendliness we were looking for. I reached out to SchedulesPlus to learn more about their product. They were so accommodating and helpful, providing information about the software without any heavy sales push. I knew immediately that it was the solution to the problems we were having with database management, scheduling, and robocalling. After the purchase, SchedulesPlus provided us with training and soon we were up and running. What is most impressive about SchedulesPlus is that the customer service got better AFTER we made the purchase. They have been extremely responsive when we ask questions, need assistance, or request tech support. It is a pleasure to work with them. SchedulePlus software has allowed us to improve our services to our older adult population.”
MID-COUNTY SENIOR CENTER – Wilmington, DE
“We’re delighted with SchedulesPlus, which we introduced to our participants in 2019. The touchscreen sign-in system is easy to use, even for our most technically challenged members, and the staff is so happy that we can eliminate paper activity registration forms. In addition to managing membership and activity information, SchedulesPlus provides tools for tracking donations, fundraising campaigns and pledges. And the technical support provided by the SchedulesPlus team just can’t be beat!”
L.E. PHILLIPS SENIOR CENTER – Eau Claire, WI
“SchedulesPlus has saved us approximately 15 hours a week entering data that we did by hand, saving approximately $7800 yearly. Additionally, with the reduction of work our staff has had more time to work with the customer as well as actually do secretarial work for our program director. A huge plus has been the various reports that were not available to myself as the director and of course our board of directors. These reports have allowed us to pay attention to the usage of our building as well as to our members. We have found these documents particularly useful when strategic planning and also when determining when and where to spend money within our Center’s day to day operations.”
WALLINGFORD SENIOR CENTER – Wallingford, CT
“SchedulesPlus is worth its weight in GOLD. It covers all the bases that our last program did not and the affordability is just an added plus. After using another program for four years and then spending another year reviewing six other programs, we selected SchedulesPlus and we have never looked back. This program is great for senior centers. It was easy for everyone to learn and that includes our front desk volunteers who are all seniors, some who have never touched a computer. The flexibility of the program is incredible and the customer service is outstanding. They understand the senior center environment and the business of a senior center. Staff is happy, administration is happy, and our seniors are happy with SchedulesPlus.”
PLAINVILLE SENIOR CENTER – Plainville, CT
“After doing a lot of research for an affordable, easy-to-use computer software program that would meet our needs, we found SchedulesPlus! Because we rely on volunteers for our Front Desk and Fitness Center, we needed a program that was user friendly. Our primary need was for a system that we could utilize for our fitness center sign in/attendance, to track membership, and training. It has been an easy transition to move from an arduous paper and pencil system to SchedulesPlus. Our staff and volunteers save hours upon hours of time. In just under a minute we can run reports related to all aspects of a member’s activities at the Fitness Center (dues, training, etc). Our next goal is to slowly convert our front desk operation to SchedulesPlus … we currently have 11 hardcopy notebooks for trips, classes, donations, computer classes, fitness center, membership, etc., etc. Our goal is to rid our front desk of these cumbersome notebooks and have all our free and paid registrations and donations on SchedulesPlus, by the end of the year.
SchedulesPlus Support has been amazing to work with! Even before we committed to use the product, they worked on tailoring the program to meet our specific needs. They respond immediately to questions and concerns and do what they can to make the program suit our requirements. SchedulesPlus Support is second to none. They understand the needs of Senior Centers and seem to instinctively know how staff and volunteers will interface with this new approach. All of our staff have been very impressed with the attention to customer service and dedication to assisting our further advance into the 21st Century of computer technology!!”
OSHKOSH SENIORS CENTER – Oshkosh, WI
“The Oshkosh Seniors has been using SchedulesPlus for years and we are extremely happy with the capabilities of the software. OSC has over 4,000 participants and the software plays a critical role in our ability to manage the Center with a limited number of people on staff. The staff at SchedulesPlus is very responsive to our needs. The software is very intuitive and user-friendly to participants, staff and volunteers.”
FIFTY NORTH – Northfield, MN
“Our Senior Center serves over 1500 members with an average of 250-300 people using the programs here each day. We started using SchedulesPlus in 2012 as our data system and it has been terrific! It keeps track of all of these activities, by individual, and by the category of the activity. Our front desk entry has been greatly simplified since we added SchedulesPlus. The data entry is straight forward and easy for staff to manage. SchedulesPlus gives us reports on attendance, tracks payments and donations, organizes email communication by groups, manages our calendar, and much more. It is truly a slick system for helping us stay organized.”
LIFE MOWER COUNTY – Austin, MN
“Before SchedulesPlus, The Arc Mower County used Microsoft Excel to keep track of activity registrations, donations and volunteers. It was really difficult to keep track of all of that information. It was even worse trying to turn that data into reports. With the addition of SchedulesPlus in 2013, we can enter information and print reports with that information in just a few clicks. Support has been wonderful to work with. In the first nine months that we used using SchedulesPlus, I had a lot of questions. I would email questions and get a response in the same day, most times within the hour. I hope to be using this program for many years to come.
