The Zanda Difference

What Zanda customers are saying

It's given me back a life, I've gained at least 2 hrs a day. I'm able to be present with the client for the whole session rather than trying to store in my brain things that I wanted to remember for my notes. I don't have that problem now. Within a few minutes of a client leaving the office the notes are completed. I can now leave work at work and not bring it home.
Pete Flower
Our clinicians found that the biggest challenge was the time that the session notes took, if done after the session, and the accuracy of the notes since they were based on memory. Now, with BizzyAI, the entire session is noted in the transcript and transformed in seconds into a note, saving a lot of time and making the notes much more comprehensive.
Sharmaine M.
I like the fact that Zanda supports every aspect of my business: appointments, invoices, video calls, client booking portal, etc. It has reduced my admin hours and has reduced my time on appointment bookings, as people can book their own time slots. The introduction of AI has also made a significant difference when it comes to writing client notes.
Peter F.
After years of typing notes through every session, my wrists were hurting and the screen time was wrecking my eyes. With Bizzy AI, I can cover the screen and just talk with my client. That's how therapy is meant to be.
Shalav, Solo Private Practice
To be able to automate all my communication is fantastic and a real game changer.
Jenni Salisbury, Owner
Practice Management Administration & Support Service
Easy to set up, I liked the forms templates which I customised to suit my private practice. I was able to create an automatic response, and a new client intake form is sent out automatically when a new client books. Plus it has an integrated payment system. So far I'm impressed with the intuitive way that it is set up. The help info online and customer support has exceeded my expectations so far.
