Pros
Love the customer service. Truly the best part of this system. It has a good interface and it seamless when it comes to the functionality.
Cons
The features that should be improved is the parent portal; allowing them access to add emergency contacts (with center approval). It also should have an ability to print out a weekly attendance list with names under the days Monday through to Friday, without all the extra information, so it can fit one A4 page (landscape). This allows services to plan out their week at a glance. Not all services have enough ipads to do this. Also reports that can be added - a list of children names that attend each room for checklists etc.

Happy to continue with using most of the functions but we don't have a large % of families that use apps or are interested in using them to communicate. It's good to have it there for those who do like it though.
Pros
I like the incident reports and communication with families. QIP, loading documents, maintenance log.
Cons
Rostering - way too confusing and unable to navigate so far.
CCS and accounts - Not really interested in going here at the moment as I find it not as user friendly as our current system. Adding discounts, holiday fees, changes to bookings - these are all quite clunky compared to what we use.

We have used other child care specific software in the past and OWNA is much easier to use. It provides all of the information and data collection we require in a logical and easy to use manner.
Pros
We use this software for our Long Day Care Centre.
OWNA is easy to use, navigate and explain to others.
It is quick to navigate between screens and the processes are logical.
My daily tasks are easier and more streamlined thanks to this software.
Cons
Reporting is completed by transferring data to Excel. Would be nice to just be able to print a formatted report in PDF from the software (eg: end of month figures for our accountant, Bond summary)
Half days and absences do not show in daily number overview.
Many families find invoicing confusing, however this is on par with other software we have tried.

Your team are the best and I especially love the fact that the team always call back if they don’t have the answers to my myriad of questions.
I have felt really supported and am so happy that I have made the switch.
Pros
Just want to give you a huge THANK YOU for your great software, but more importantly for the awesome help and support that your team have been providing over the past few months whilst our service has transitioned over from another software.
Cons
I would like there to be an easy-print one page A4 daily rolls for admin purposes.
Response from OWNA
Thanks Susie!
It means a lot to us that you've found the switch so worthwhile. Support is something we place a lot of importance on and it's good to see that we're giving you a good experience.
Thanks again,
