Why is Pabau the right Lumeon alternative for you?

Looking for a better alternative to Lumeon? Look no further – here’s exactly what Pabau can offer you that Lumeon can’t.

Top reasons to why Pabau is better way to go over Lumeon when you are wanting to choose a Practice Management Software.

Read in more detail what exactly Pabau has to offers in comparison to Lumeon’s practice management software.

Reason #1 – Fierce Contracts

In the past, when migrating clients away from Lumeon they often complain they were extended into contracts and pricing tiers that they were not aware of. In order to get out of these, they have often had to pay extremely large exit fees.

Reason #2 - Going Paperless

Having a native app is important for any business. Cliniko are yet to launch a mobile app, meaning that the way it will work on your mobile/tablet is via the browser. This makes for it difficult to create a great user experience, and you are very limited and reliant on your internet connection, as well as having limited features that are expected from when needing to access your business tools on the go.

Reason #3 - No App

Having a native app is important for any business. Lumeon are yet to launch a mobile app, meaning that the way it will work on your mobile/tablet is via the browser. This makes for it difficult to create a great user experience, and you are very limited and reliant on your internet connection, as well as having limited features that are expected from when needing to access your business tools on the go.

Reason #4 - Limited Functionality

We find generally that the people that move from Lumeon to Pabau often quote that they have “grown out of it”, and often hit a brick wall when it comes to the features. Lumeon do not tend to have a ‘Community’, and their range of clients from different sectors suggest that they target all and anyone. Having some big contracts with the likes of BUPA may restrict them from working on the wider in demand features of the every day medical practice.

Reason #5 – Old Technology & Dated UI

You only need to take a look at the features which are core to any clinic such as the calendar to see that it is extremely dated. The Lumeon calendar has not received an update for years, and if you are a clinic which have multiple clinicians, you will find yourself scrolling vertically (not horizontally) across the calendar to find availability.

Reason #6 - Investor Led

The most important thing to note is that almost every investor wants their money back (with a big return) within 5 years. They are not looking to invest in a growing profitable business and they’re not interested in getting their fair share of profits over an extended time period. Taking funding is not always best for a company and its clients. Lumeon have been known to charge exceptional fees for building things such as medical forms (a feature that is free within Pabau)

Reason #7 - Pricing

Having targeted mainly hospitals, the operation costs to run Lumeon would be high. This cost is offset against the price they charge for their software. Clients we have migrated away from Lumeon have been known to pay exceptional fees for things such as SMS.

Reason #8 – Online Bookings

Pabau allows you to set up your online bookings and see how easy it is to manage appointments through Pabau. Your online profile can be shown 24/7 on as many platforms as you like for easy access for your clients and leads. Recent clients who have moved from Lumeon to Pabau have done so due to online bookings being non existent.

Reason #9 - Stability

For any medical business the up-time of your software is crucial. Whilst no provider can guarantee 100% uptime, we make sure all the necessary procedures are in place to avoid any outage big or small. When we migrate clients away from Lumeon, we have real issues with them running the reports to provide us the data they need. The reports seem very dated, and crash the system whenever trying to run a report over a short/medium period of time.

Reason #10 - Complex & Paid Reporting

In order to build custom reports in Lumeon you need to have a technical background, with it being a very technical process. The feature to build custom reports is known as ‘Ad Hoc Reporting’, and we as developers would find it difficult to even us
