What I like about this software is the simplicity to configure it to my specific needs despite it's limitations when it comes to foreign languages and multiple work shifts. Our factory is in the Fench province of Quebec CANADA. Once you figure out what it can and cannot do, you work around it and it does the job. > > **Cons**: The foreign language option is limited.. meaning you have to personally sellect and translate all the text (painful). The other thing missing is the ablility for the visitor to phone call the person you want to meet with via The Receptionist... you need to use a third party application and if you aren't familiar with it yet... you will need the help of their customer support. That been said, when it works it is great and LISA The Receptionist comes to life. > > We do not have a permament receptionist at the factory. This job was givin to the customer service team who doen't have the time nor the joy to do it all the time... especially in a pendemic situation. The Receptionist software allowed us to automate the visitors and employees management experience. We no longer use the traditional paper log visible to everyone who visit the factory. We also increassed the security and health of our visitors and employees by using the touchless login. ----- ### "IT works for us\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *16 November 2021* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is easily customizable to your practice and very easy to use. It is definitely less expensive than other products on the market. > > **Cons**: There are plenty of features on this software that I feel we may be paying for that are never used. I'd love if we had the option to drop price if not using some of these features. > > The Receptionist notifies us via email when a client has arrived. It eliminates clutter in the hallways and having to run back forth to the lobby to see if someone has arrived. ----- ### "Gets The Job Done" — 4.0/5 > **Brian** | *21 August 2018* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The portal interface can be mastered in a couple hours. There really isn't much investment needed to learn everything about the product and get your account up and running. Great customer service. > > **Cons**: The actual options of this application are minimal. I've found myself on more than one occasion "hacking" together a solution based on the options available. > > We wanted to do away with receptionists at our Corporate office, so we replaced that functionality with the iPad receptionist app. It's worked reliably for us, for the most part. The updates are highly manual, but that's usually not an issue. It took a few months for everyone in the office to get used to it, but here we are two years later still using it. Will probably replace this solution with a custom MS PowerApp at some point. ----- ### "Director of Operations" — 5.0/5 > **Samantha** | *23 June 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our practice greatly values the feature that notifies clinicians when a client has checked in on the iPad. This functionality ensures smooth transitions and allows for more efficient time management. We also love how the iPad allows clients to leave feedback about their experience, providing valuable insights that help us continually improve our services. > > **Cons**: At this time, we do not have any cons to report regarding the RECEPTIONIST or the systems in place.. > > The seamless process has not only enhanced client satisfaction but also improved the efficiency of the office operations ----- ### "Nice Visitor Tracking Application" — 5.0/5 > **Jimmy** | *9 October 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This application is very light and can be installed easily. It is a very simple application using which we can track visitors and also check who is expected to visit on a particular day > > **Cons**: There are no cons. This is a very small application and everything has be thought of ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/29773/the-receptionist-for-ipad?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/29773/the-receptionist-for-ipad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
