It provides excellent training resources that simplify the process of training staff, making it incredibly efficient. This marks a significant improvement over the past three years, offering enhanced capabilities for staff training. Pros One of the best features of DASH is the control it gives you in creating your own registrations. Other standout features include a fantastic POS system, in-house reports, and a quick and easy-to-use user dashboard. Over the past three years, DASH has efficiently managed all the registrations for our multi-million-dollar multi-sport complex, effortlessly handling the entire payment process through its user-friendly POS system, putting you in charge of your cash flow. Cons The refund processes can initially be somewhat confusing until you become familiar with the DASH system. However, with a little time and experience using the platform, it quickly becomes second nature.

The online bookings have helped us reduce the amount of staff needed to work the Administration desk. Pros Dash is easy to use and gives us a wealth of information. Training staff is easier and there seems to be way less mistakes. Cons Getting small changes made to invoice look and a couple of minor operational styles. Dash has been receptive in most of our requests. Switched from [Class Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/183418/Class-Manager/) Cheaper and easier to use. They were not being user friendly.

Would recommend to other facilities looking to start up. Their support is also very quick when needed Pros Ease of building out schedules and classes for guest. Makes managing very easy to do on the back end. Cons Will make some update features without running by and letting users know. Some of the updates are forced and no option to revert.

It is not perfect, but they keep making improvements. Pros I like how all bookings and leagues post to the calendar so you do not have to do more entries for each event. Cons Not having a monthly view of the calendar is really an issue for us. We keep waiting for this function to be resolved and it seems to keep being pushed back as a priority to resolve.

Pros I like the ability to quickly view reports and schedules Cons When a customer doesn't pay their monthly bill, the system doesn't expire their membership and allows the customer to come in and continue to use the facility. When you have 2000 memberships, suspending all of the past-due customers is very time-consuming Alternatives considered [CivicPlus Recreation Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/127098/CivicRec-powered-by-REC1/) Reasons for choosing Dash Because civicrec was to busy and couldn't train us in time. To be fair, daysmart was still only used in hockey rinks so that was a turnoff but I am glad we stuck with it now that it supports rec centers.

Sometimes training was great, sometimes not do great and it dragged. Need more demos. More answers in help articles and speed. Way too slow loading for us and our guest Need a lot more hands on training once the system is set up. Pros It’s easy to learn most features. It allows for the multiple different rates, programs, etc that we have. Cons Too many different ways to do things like invoicing or searching. Not one process is clear cut.
