We use the monthly view to find openings at a glance, and the drag-n-drop confirmation feature is great protection!  The ability to print the chart is really good for my guys because that's how they're used to viewing their schedules. - M.A. , Satellite Installation

The reports such as "No Show" and the history of each client/customer is very helpful and has eliminated the need for several different bookkeeping procedures. - Jude, Music Instrument Sales and Instruction
