Dude Solutions Event Management Reviews

I like the ease of use and information provided.

I haven't found any issues to dislike!!!

Time management.

It is user friendly and works along with all of your platforms.

Nothing, I do like it very much. The District has used it now for two years and likes it very much.

This can track all of your event's, records, allows for full scope planning.

Coming from a completely paper based system, the fact that platform is totally electronic and that information can be immediately recalled is mind blowing. The time saved is immeasurable.

Data at your fingertips with the immediate reports is so important to our internal stakeholders and staff.

The number of days in a schedule has to exceed the current 100! As a school system, 180 days is standard. We could be much more efficient if we were able to have 1 schedule per organization which would then make our data and number of events/schedules spot on instead of "ball park".

The basic search function could work a little better. It pulls way too much data or too many organizations using a single key word.

It saves time and makes you more efficient.

The amount of time spent on events is cut in half.

Solving issues such as insurance expirations, invoices due, electronic system alleviates paper and allows for quick recall.

Benefits:

Reporting

Data

Instant Recall

Historical Information

Saving paper

We are a school district with 10 buildings - SchoolDude keeps it easy to manage events and keeps everyone in the loop of events in different buildings, including set ups (custodial, maintenance, and tech needs).

Would like the app to be more user friendly.

Keeps everyone in the know of what is required, set up, break down, etc.

Use of FS Direct helps keep our entire district event calendar organized for everyone to see and is convenient to use for scheduling coverage for events. The real time changes are very helpful

For our use, there is too much information - it would be much simpler to have less options/information, but that may be helpful for other organizations

The solution helps us prevent double booking of spaces and well as easily seeing what space is available for use and/or rent.

Our schools are able to manage their own schedules for after-hours air conditioning. It is easy to use. It has a simple user interface that does everything our users need.

The ability to customize the documentation and/or screen descriptions would be good.

With the schools scheduling their own events, last minute calls for a late day event have been eliminated. This allows our HVAC techs to concentrate on repairs instead of rescheduling.

These folks are some of the best in the business. Patient with the novice and in depth with those of us who use the product regularly.

There is nothing to dislike about this organization. Our only issue with this product is the volume of information that can be tracked. I need to hire at least 1 FTE to input all the information the program can track, thus I am using only a small amount of the services available to me.

These folks are especially helpful if you are starting with no existing program in place.

Currently working with The Dude on PM schedules and data collection. We are in the beginning stages of this project, just now scheduling the data collection portion.

I like to have all events within one location. This prevents double booking and also allows us to generate more money by seeing which rooms and locations are available.

I dislike the setup of all the locations but understand that I must in order to achieve greatness.

Events are being planned and things are not double booked

Very good overview to see all the events going on in your buildings, it gives the people setting up the events all the information they need to have everything really for the event

editing an event, you can cancel an event pretty simply, but the event even thou not active is still there. I want to delete it completely I do not need to save in any form a canceled or deleted event

They have many other programs to choose from like energy management, maintenance direct and fs direct are the ones we use here

It is really good for showing you all your event and happenings in so spot, It been easy to show just the event in just certain building too. it is user friendly when setting up your event with all the options to chose from

Ease of use. Able to see all of our Districts usage in one spot.

For outside users who aren't familiar with the system it can be tricky.

Very easy to see open time frames and schedule events.
