Features to check before switching
- Back-office depth. Altegio’s finance, payroll, inventory and loyalty tools go further than DaySync today, and it can send paid SMS reminders or free push notifications through its client app, where DaySync sends reminders by email and WhatsApp.
- SMS reminders. DaySync sends confirmations and reminders by email and WhatsApp, for online bookings and appointments you add in the app, and sends no SMS. If your clients only answer SMS texts, that’s a real difference.
- Built-in card payments. DaySync records how each visit was paid and adds up the day, but in-person card payments stay on your own terminal. Online booking deposits are coming soon.
