Case Studies - How Swim schools have benefited from using Jackrabbit.
|
"We have been using JackRabbit software since Dec. of 2005.
Just Swim Inc. is a small school and about 3 years ago we
transitioned from teaching only private lessons to a year round
group lesson program. When we first started our swim school, we
did all our schedules and registrations by hand or self-made
spreadsheets. Scheduling was a nightmare. We started looking for
software programs but most were not in our budget nor met all of
our needs. Fortunately, Miren Oca, from Ocaquatics suggested we
give JackRabbit a try. We signed up for the 30 day trial and
have been a thrilled customer ever since. The software has made
life at our swim school so much more efficient. From
registrations to scheduling, reports to transactions, everything
runs smoothly. Our young office staff and instructors quickly
learned the program and the option to restrict user permissions
allows me to have the security that I want."
"The fact that it is web-based, allows me to log on from
anywhere without additional set-up or fees is another great
feature. The constant updates, fast customer support and
continually increasing the functions makes JackRabbit the best
software for us. As Just Swim Inc. grows we can track the
revenue, classes, and students with the Executive Dashboard
feature. It’s all there."
"I could go on and on with all the terrific options, but the
bottom line is, I could not imagine running our swim school
without JackRabbit. I highly recommend Jackrabbit to all
schools."

"We began using Jackrabbit in January of 2007 when we
realized, as a small business, it would be too difficult for us
to have our own in-house IT department. Before using Jackrabbit,
we had to use a handful of different programs, none of which
matched its efficiency. We definitely don't miss the mistakes
that were made with those other programs!"
"Not only has Jackrabbit saved us lots of time and money, but it
has increased our capacity to register, enroll and charge
families allowing our company to grow exponentially. From a
customer service standpoint, they are extremely helpful and
accommodating when it comes to our individual needs. They have
always done a wonderful job solving our problems in a timely
manner. Jackrabbit is easy to use, easily accessible, and most
importantly easy to learn. I highly recommend Jackrabbit."

"How can I put into words the advantages of Jackrabbit for
our business. I was a person who used the individual card
systems for 25 years and did not want to let go of it. Switching
to Jackrabbit was a very hard decision for me, however, it has
been the best decision I have ever made. "
"Enrolling students is a breeze and saves so much time! Time
saved by the office staff is such a bonus for us. You can track
students with the push of a button. You can see all their
transactions with the push of a button. I think one of the best
features for our facility, because we have so many venues, is
the Payment Category tracking. It allows you to see the income
from each venue instantly. Another feature is that is
automatically puts in the discount for multiple classes or
families. No figuring this out manually anymore. What a time
saver!"
"The newest feature we are taking advantage of is the on-line
registration. Letting parents enroll their children on-line
saves the office staff inputting that information. You have your
clients billing information and can receive their payment by
credit card instantly. We have parents on auto pay and the first
of the month we push one button and they all are paid
automatically. This is WONDERFUL. We have also started using the
attendance and make-up features of Jackrabbit. It is so much
easier to schedule make-ups and absences. Record tracking is a
breeze."
"If you have not tried this system..you MUST. We love it. "

"Well, it was one year ago that I became reacquainted with
Mark Mahoney and his Jackrabbit software. At the time, I was
mildly reticent about the fact it was web-based, yet in August,
Kids First decided to make the 'big switch' due largely to
Mark's integrity and my 'gut feel' that Jackrabbit was going to
the 'program of the future.' During the data transfer, things
went seamlessly despite our large enrollment."
"Three months ago, my concerns about being web-based COMPLETELY
EVAPORATED when our in-house server went down and it took our IT
guy two weeks to re-construct our server data. During it all,
Jackrabbit never missed a beat; had we been on server-based
software I cannot imagine the problems for our Company. Now, I
am absolutely convinced it is better the have the professionals
doing my backup (by the same company that handles and backs-up
of the large global companies, using the same redundancies
including backups in multiple cities in case of a regional
disaster) ! "
"What about the day-to-day 'usability' of Jackrabbit? For 9
months the Jackrabbit Support Team has worked closely with the
Kids First crew to make the enhancements necessary to handle a
club of 5100 enrollment. Two weeks ago, at the May BOOT CAMP,
when asked how she liked Jackrabbit, Mary, Kids First's Customer
Service Department Leader responded by saying "I am ecstatic. It
is fast and so easy to learn for my crew." Those were the words
I was waiting to hear and the reason I am decided it was time to
write this testimonial."
"Do you want a speedy, stable, safe, easy to learn and use,
future-oriented program owned, written and supported by a team
of people with impeccable integrity? Then may I strongly suggest
Jackrabbit." |

"It is my privilege to tell you about my experience getting
a new class management system from Jackrabbit. Every aspect of
Jackrabbit has dramatically improved my swim school operations!
Summer Registration results:
- Within 2 weeks, 50% of our classes were filled.
- Parents registered and paid online easily.
- Dramatic reduction in needed phone calls and
discussions. Saved many staff hours and trouble.
- Instant E-mail confirmations when we processed the
registrations
- Waivers already signed and stored
If anyone is considering updating or changing to a new system,
please take a look at Jackrabbit. I checked it out from Jeff
Metzger's staff and another swim school. It is everything I
could ever wish to have to simplify my swim school
administrative operations. Now I can concentrate on the area I
love- the kids!"

| “In reviewing class management programs, we focused on three
key objectives: ease of use, features and company integrity.
Jackrabbit has an easy-to-use technology solution that can
satisfy the wide range of technology skills in a diverse
franchise system. Their web-based program has 95% of the
features we were seeking. In addition, the management of
Jackrabbit is committed to providing top-quality customer
service and honest, integrity-driven interactions. We did not
find another company that inspired this level of confidence.”

easy-to-use features are perfect for the entire range of
business, whether you are a start-up club or a large,
full-service children’s activity center. The incremental cost
and ability of the software to grow with your business is
without peer in the industry.” |

"It's very easy to use and adapt to. You guys kill Gymsoft.
I love the "Executive Dashboard" initial page which displays the
status of enrollment and account receivables. I sell just about
everything I believe in, especially which has helped me to
streamline my company or my life.
Thanks for creating a fantastic solution." |

"I have evaluated MV Gym and Get Physical. While the
programs provided some useful features, they just didn't feel
complete to me. In addition, I was not pleased with the user
interface of the programs. I took a quick look at ProSchool,
which at a glance seemed like a good program but was not
affordable for someone like me with a very small gym."
"I chose Jackrabbit because it is a complete system. All of the
spreadsheets and queries I created using Excel to keep track of
the business are already available in Jackrabbit in one place,
even the Birthday List. I still have the option of exporting
data to Excel if needed. I like the look and feel of the
program. I especially enjoy the ability to be able to access my
information online from anywhere, anytime. Most importantly, the
monthly payment makes it affordable. Honestly, I was sold at the
initial data conversion...even with the minor issues we had."
"Thanks a lot for making one of my tasks as a new gym owner
easier." |

| I am so glad that you created Jackrabbit. We have found that
using your system is easy to understand and easy to use.
Jackrabbit went above and beyond with all of the different
elements that are offered. We look forward each day to being

this well organized. Thank you Jackrabbit !!!!!!!!

| "I want to let all the schools to know how pleased I am with
the Jackrabbit program. I have found it easy to read, easy to
work and above all, very user friendly. This has made MY job
somewhat quicker and more efficient. I can highly recommend this
program to anyone who chooses to have interest in this. Thanks
once again for developing such a thorough program." |

| "Until Jackrabbit we pretty much did everything manually. We
used QuickBooks for tracking our customer's payments, tuition
and purchases, but individual class rosters were set-up in
Microsoft Word and had to be manually updated each month before
printing them. If we needed info on a student or their family,
we had to search through our enrollment forms. We have 2
locations so we had to make a copy of the enrollment forms of
the students attending at the 2nd location. Our managers and
instructors had very little, if any, access to student and
customer information before Jackrabbit. Checking to see if a
student was making up too many classes was a long and time
consuming job, searching through every class roster. Tracking
the number of students in each class involved reviewing each
class roster daily and manually counting each student then
forwarding that count to the lady that does our placements. I
could go on, but I think you get the picture. Jackrabbit has put
everything about our classes, students and their families at our
staff's fingertips. It has freed up time to develop new programs
and improve the ones we have. We shopped around, but found
Jackrabbit to be the best and most affordable class and customer
data management system available. " |

| "The Jackrabbit system is a very powerful but intuitive
system to use. The ability to log in from any computer anywhere
without the need for installing additional software or buying
additional licenses is one of its greatest advantages. I
imported my data from another system via the Jackrabbit
spreadsheet import feature and was up and running in a matter of
minutes. The software is simple to use and provides us with
powerful management reports. This system will revolutionize the
way we manage our customers!" |
