Tula

Kommentare: I have a small, independent yoga studio in the U.S. Virgin Islands. When researching the various studio management SaS options, I found that - for the most part - they were trying to be everything to everyone. I have a simple business; I wanted a simple business solution. And then I found TULA. TULA is a perfect fit for my business - simple, elegant, efficient and effective. The user interface is very intuitive. I have not yet had a head scratching, "Where did they put that?" or "How do I find this?" moment. It covers the basic elements of the things I need managed, grouping them into easily defined categories: People, Passes and Classes. The thing I feel they do best is provide service. Real service offered by real humans generally in real time. Recently I've noticed that their chat with customer service function has (sadly) gone away. I hope it comes back. However, their email tech support is swift, efficient and effective. And PLEASANT! How's THAT for being different? TULA does most things extremely well. In fact, I find it difficult to offer any "cons" to my review. However, when using the calendar, I find it challenging that I can't see the entire current month. The calendar view begins with the current week. If I want to see something from the previous week in the month, I have to hit the back button - which takes me to the previous month. Then I have to hit the forward button to get to the complete current month. Too many clicks, TULA...but I'm sure they have that on their list and will address it in a future release. In summary, I find that TULA is nothing short of brilliant for small, independent studios. It manages the data that is most important to me (the people involved in my business, my offerings and schedule, payments and income tracking). When I need help, I get it - quickly. It is tremendously easy to use - which is good, because not all of my Admins are tech savvy. And it is very affordable. Whatever the "cons" may be, they aren't significant enough to include in this wrap up. Nothing is perfect - but TULA comes close.

Kommentare: When I first opened my studio, Asali Yoga in Harlem NYC, I was a bit skeptical of the value of using any kind of software at all. Why do that when I can use the old fashioned index cards tried and true? Of course as things grew a bit, the knowledge of technology made me realize certain administrative tasks were becoming way too cumbersome and time consuming. However, having experience working the desk at large studios in Manhattan, I wasn't too thrilled at what major software companies were providing for the price. Being a person who is somewhat anti-monopoly and avoids the #*&marts (and like mentality) of the world, I searched for another yoga software company and found this wonderful Tula. I was immediately impressed that the owner himself spared so much of his time on the phone with me. He even got me to thinking about different ways to gain revenue for my studio that I hadn't thought much about due to my limited view of how NYC studios were run. This was months ago and now that very advice is working as well as the tools I need to make it happen. I love the fact that Tula is easy to use, and is always adding cool and useful features to the software. When I have questions, even that one with the answer staring me right in my face on the screen, I always get a respectful response...thanks Kimani...unlike the sarcastic tone some may have been tempted to give for such an obvious answer via the marvelous help/chat feature on the right of the screen LOL. I am delighted at the improvements over the past months and look forward to seeing Tula's continued evolution along with my own Asali Yoga Studio. One last serendipitous thing. The studio Logo is a Bee. The studio has honey themes with honey soaps, beeswax candles etc. honey comb shelving. How lovely is it, that the complimenting logo I see everyday, is a honeycomb/hexagon? Tula and Asali were meant to be. I love Tula and thank you for your integrity and authentic, human work.

Kommentare: I love this software and this company. I was apprehensive about transferring to a online software for our studio. I don't think I could have made a better choice. They made the whole process so easy for me. Not being very savvy in how the software world works, I had plenty of questions and Andrew was very knowledgable and helpful in explaining what Tula could do for me. The transition to Tula was completely painless. Any questions I had along the way, these guys took as much time as I needed. The response time to questions is almost immediately. As far as the software itself, it does just what Andrew told me it would do-It frees up my time! User friendly, good reports, and I love that I have access to it at all times. I probably would not have switched to an online software had it not been for this company. Thank you Tula family, you guys are great!

Vorteile: User friendly, good reports, excellent customer service

Kommentare: Wow! I really cannot say enough great things about Tula Software. When I was first implementing studio check-in software I did a ton of research on different online companies. I found Tula listed somewhere deep in a search I had done and decided to give it a 10 day trial. I was so impressed! It was super easy to set up and use, and it wasn't long before I was convinced that this was the software for my studio. I have nothing but praise for the customer service at Tula. Everyone has been amazing! Andrew and Keoni have been my main contacts, and they are so prompt and willing to investigate if something is going on with the software. I can say I have used their support quite a bit as I had some expiration date issues early on that I just could not figure out. Andrew took one look at it and knew exactly what was happening. It was that easy. And since then I have really not had any other problems. And I love that they listen to what studio owners want - I recommended a couple of things to them to improve the software and sure enough about 2 months later it was implemented. Try that at MindBody Online!! I would highly recommend Tula to anyone looking for studio check-in software. The features that Tula offers are just right for a yoga studio, pilates studio, fitness center, you name it. It is perfect for checking in students, purchasing class passes and workshops, online registration and pass purchasing, etc. I am just getting ready to implement student accounts, so that my students can see how many passes are left on the cards, check expiration dates, or sign-up for a class or workshop. I'm so excited to finally let them see just how great Tula is!

Kommentare: After researching a number of other software options for our small, independent studio, Tula seemed like the best fit. It's very easy to use and intuitive, and our students love the interactive calendar on our website and the ability to register for classes. We had been using physical cards to track student passes prior to adopting this software, and we are now able to check students in faster, and we have far fewer errors tracking passes. The cost of the software is affordable, and has been a very, very worthwhile investment for our studio. We've expanded to a larger studio recently, and I think that Tula was a part of why we have been able to to this - we now have the capacity! I liked that we were easily able to set up Tula ourselves, but the customer service when we've had questions has been awesome - very responsive, personable and helpful. The software is never slow, and it works well on my iPhone, which has made my life very easy! Tula truly is just a better fit for us than some of the larger yoga software companies out there. There are just 2 changes that I would make: I do wish that Tula had a feature to freeze students' passes, because we have to manually change pass expiration dates. Also, we use Square to process payments, and it would be great if it were possible to integrate it into Tula so that entering new passes into Tula did not require two separate actions (one for Square and one for Tula). Otherwise, we've been very, very happy with Tula!
