ePACT

Vorteile: everything can be on one place, and you can edit and update information at any time. You can access it on your phone through the app

Nachteile: some times can be hard to navigate if you are not computer savvy

Kommentare: Overall, ePACT has been a great additional to our camp programs. I think it is easier for parents, staff, and administration to access and update emergency contact information and health forms with ease.

Vorteile: I like that this software is easy to use from the administrative side. The best feature is that it sends regular reminders to parents to fill out their required paperwork. Access to emergency documents from anywhere is extremely easy. And, of course...it's paperless!

Nachteile: Getting people to fill out paperwork to the point of uploading their immunizations and required documents can be tough. Parents struggled with uploading photos and immunization records, and I don't like that I have 0 access to their emergency/contact information until that is all submitted. It makes it hard when a camper is dropped off and we don't have access to even contact a parent to have them fill this out (in the case of registration software information being out of date).

Kommentare: ePACT allowed staff to communicate with parents in quicker ways, including texts! We were able to customize many of the questions in the participant files to our needs, rather than gathering more information than we would use. We love being able to search participants by allergies and other concerns. Lots of great efficiencies with this easy-to-use program!

Vorteile: We love that ePACT looks out for the safety and security of our participants, while improving efficiencies for our staff. ePACT is easy to work with and responsive to suggestions. While we are still looking for solutions to ActiveNet FlexReg partnering, standard programs work extremely well with the ePACT system. Families have found information input and updates easy to do and ePACT staff responds quickly to any of the more difficult situations.

Nachteile: We are hopeful that solutions will soon arrive for: FlexReg daily rosters; grouping program codes in one class throughout a school year or extended season; "staff" added to all participants as a standard sign in/out person for moving between programs and a few other things. Communicating with ePACT about these challenges has been a positive experience.

Kommentare: customer service for set up has been awesome
user friendly
still learning the ins and outs

Vorteile: shared with other programs
when things are completed correctly, the ease of finding information quickly

Nachteile: no Spanish translation
I can't see the parent view when they call and ask questions about how to finish profile
still don't understand how it talks with ACTIVE
wish there was better training on the program.. maybe there is an I was just not informed of it

Vorteile: I like the ease of the software. You have access to the student medical, emergency and authorized pickup and contacts at you fingertips. Very easy for the staff to learn and navigate.

Nachteile: This software was very easy to use and very easy for the parents to use also. There were a couple of parents who had problems upload their child's picture. Some people had problems with the phone number. It does not let you know not to add spaces or dashes with the phone number. Some parents also got hooked up with emergency and authorized pick ups address. They would not putting it in and it would not let them continue. It should not address is required.
