The integration of auto posting payments through the app directly to the customers accounts. > > **Cons**: Some aspects of the software do require some learning. Some of the functionality is quite complex. But this gives you great flexibility. > > Their support and product knowledge is exceptionally. ----- ### "Everything you need in one package" — 4.0/5 > **Ewan** | *October 27, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Connect software does all the management tasks that we need to run our business all in one programme. Parents love the ParentZone and we like the ability to easily run various reports to help that our management team operate efficiently. > > **Cons**: As we were one of he first companies to use the software we have been a few teething problems as the software has evolved however they do get resolved ----- ### "Our opinion" — 3.0/5 > **Susan** | *October 17, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like the fact that parents have access to the app whenever suits them especially if a child is upset we can directly forward some reassuring pictures to help ease anxiety. You can return to obs throughout period by saving info. > > **Cons**: You cannot go back on register to check as to whether a child was in. From a parents perspective we cannot see how they see the app and upload images too Also sometimes it gets stuck and takes time to redo. And information is easily lost if it doesn’t save so you have to start again. > > Improving as time goes on. ----- ### "We could not manage without it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Bill** | *October 17, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The fact that I can work from anywhere and manage all three nursery's from any where in the country. It is once you have had the training easy to use, does all our staff ratios, grant allocation and invoicing. The parentzone zone and I connect is easy for the practitioner to use, with parent partnership and two way communication playing a major part in our day to day activities. The management reports and widgits provide clear concise information. We have looked at other systems and nothing comes close. > > **Cons**: The price\! - it is not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. The software team are there to answer and question you might have and can log in and sort it for you if your struggling. There is always going to be cheaper options but its like buying a cheap car and a Rolls oyce the money you save in time far out ways the cost > > The service we receive is second to none - they follow up on every cal to ensure that any issues have been dealt with we have reduced our staffing costs due to their staff ratio module and are able to move staff to other settings to fill any gaps. The utilisation of staff accross 3 setting has greatly reduced the wage bill. ----- ### "What I like about Connect" — 5.0/5 > **Angela** | *October 17, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: That I could manage staff, parents, billing, etc all from one computer > > **Cons**: Inputting all the information initially was time consuming . Also advice when setting up the system would have been appreciated as some things are difficult to change once the system has been set up. > > Using Connect has helped us to reduce our debt as it gives you much more control and the information is straight at hand. It has improved communication with parents/customers and as the system is easy to use for observations and assessments, it means that my staff have more time to spend with the children rather than doing paperwork. The support is fantastic as any issues are addressed immediately. Also customers pay via an app so makes it easier for customers to pay. All staff training, contracts and information is in one place. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/151389/connect-childcare?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/151389/connect-childcare) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
