"EZFacility gave the experience of an early 2000's internet app. We needed something that was dynamic, modern, and matched the high-tech culture of our facility...Swift is great from an ops standpoint: scheduling, managing coach schedules, customer management.. They communicate well and care about your feedback as a customer."
“I think that Swift has made a name for themselves and their ability to relate to indoor facilities. They continue to make adaptations for businesses and users in order to make indoor baseball scheduling, experience, and fulfillment a one stop shop. What I like, most about Swift is the branded app...that has allowed my users to be able to easily schedule personal baseball instruction and see updates for my business.”
"Ease of use with everyday scheduling. The drag and drop feature is a game changer on the schedule."
“Prior to our shift to Swift, our team was mired in the time-consuming task of scheduling – roughly 20 hours a week spent in what was essentially non-productive work due to the lack of automation in other software solutions. This was not just a drain on our resources; it was a barrier to growth. However, from the moment we adopted Swift, the change was nothing short of revolutionary. In the first month alone, we saw our revenue skyrocket by over 200%.”

A modern mobile-friendly interface for customers and ease of use for owners & coaches are the two biggest reasons why people switch from eSoft to Swift. Our drag-and-drop calendar consistently drops jaws when doing demos with eSoft clients.
Great question! eSoft is a highly functional tool, and having been in the industry for 15+ years, they do a lot. There are certain features (ex: tracking timesheets for employees via a “clock in/out”) that Swift doesn’t have currently. If that’s important to you, eSoft might be a better fit.
We do! We’ve helped tons of facilities migrate from eSoft Planner and almost every other company in this space, so we’ve built a repeatable process for an easy migration. It’s worth noting that our migration is specifically limited to customer data (names, emails, phone numbers, etc).
Depending on how your memberships are structured, we may also be able to help migrate those over.
At the moment, we don’t support automatically migrating bookings, services, package credits, or any other data.Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the migration process.
It only takes a couple of hours! Onboarding is done via a personalized call with a member of our team, where they’ll help you setup your account. If you’re coming from an existing software, we’ll be able to automatically migrate your customer data within 2-3 business days, so you can launch with Swift as soon as possible.
Great question! Concerns around price are totally fair. At Swift, we believe in building a world-class product, charging a fair price for it, and drastically overdelivering in terms of value. This means that we’ll never compete on price or be the cheapest tool on the market, but instead look to be an investment that actually grows your business. That’s why we’ve had countless facilities switch from eSoft, willingly paying 2-3x more, and never look back.
We don’t offer a trial, but instead provide a 30-day money-back guarantee. This allows you to commit to the software with an initial payment, but try it at no-risk. If it doesn’t work out in the first month, we’ll refund you the full payment - no questions asked.
