Business Challenge
Sam Jackson has been with Fulford for 2 years. When she arrived they were using Procare software to manage their preschool but Sam was not happy with it. “I wanted something to track and report on staff hours to make payroll easier for us. Plus, Procare was expensive and the software took a long time to learn and become comfortable with. We were about to bring on new staff members, and teaching everyone their complex software would have taken a long time.”
Sam needed a lower cost, easy-to-learn software solution without sacrificing functionality, so she made a list of must-haves, along with her likes and dislikes of Procare and compared it to other software solutions.
Solution
After a year of researching, Sam and Fulford decided on EZ-CARE2 Childcare Management Software with the TimeClock module as their solution. Sam notes, “Some solutions we looked at offered staff management, but couldn’t manage student attendance, while others had no way of recording immunizations. In the end, when EZ-CARE2 was compared to the list of others, it contained all of our ‘must-haves’ as well as the most likeable features. Also, our EZ-CARE2 account manager was great to work with, and answered any questions we had.”
