We’ve All Suffered at getting Scheduling Right. Have You?

Each time you get stuck working with a complicated scheduling software, there’s always that fear of how you could make it easier.

  • Will there be a bot that could do all the scheduling heavy-lifting on its own?
  • Can I schedule recurring, and group events easily?
  • Does it integrate with Slack, Zapier, Zoom, and Wordpress to name a few?
  • Can I get analytics of my meetings on a weekly / monthly basis to measure my teams’ and my productivity?
  • Will the support respond and go beyond the call of duty to resolve issues?

If your scheduling solution got you answering NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, maybe it’s time to switch to Karen.

What Setmore customers say
How Customer Support works at Karen
Lots of bugs over time while booking an appointment or especially when changing currenty booked appointment.
The techies who designed the software have had over 15+ years of experience architecting and designing.
Many times customers are overbooking each other, even when it is not allowed in the settings.
Karen's USP is that it prevents over-booking.
“There is no option to email, export, or print any appointment history. I am often required to share this information and it is a very common feature for other appointment systems”
You can filter, export, and view your data as and when you feel like.
The inability to put a real credit card info to hold appointments.
We integrate with Stripe, others in pipeline.
It does take a bit of getting used to - setting up and navigating.
We pride in reducing the learning curve.
Response time on their server seems slow. You click, and sometimes you will wait a few seconds for the screen to change.
We run on blazing fast servers.
Even at 7 months, I have not enabled all of the features that Setmore offers. Probably just user learning curve issues.
The app is simple to use, give it 2 minutes and you will be up and running.

Lazy customer service Don't get notification when clients book, loose out on clients.

The livebooking service. Very expensive due to inept operators that cannot extract customer information quickly. Errors upon errors including wrong appointment times, message errors, inability to follow my instructions concerning details concerning my office.
