Number of Seats/Users: SKED offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows SKED that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from SKED. SKED reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: SKED offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from SKED. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: SKED often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase, our internal data shows that SKED is seen by Spendbase clients as a high-impact automation tool for chiropractic offices, especially around patient communication and no‑show reduction.

What Spendbase clients like most
– Ease of use for patients
– The mobile app and online scheduling are consistently praised as “easy” and “convenient,” which helps boost patient engagement.
– Automation that saves staff time
– Automated reminders, two-way texting, and smart replies significantly cut down on front-desk phone time.
– All‑in‑one setup
– Spendbase clients appreciate having scheduling, reminders, reactivation campaigns, and review generation in a single platform rather than juggling multiple tools.
– Better show rates and smoother schedules
– Our internal feedback points to fewer no‑shows and more predictable calendars once SKED is fully adopted.

Operational impact we see in the data
– Front-desk workload goes down as patients self-manage more of their visits.
– Offices become less dependent on manual calls and paper reminders.
– Patient satisfaction often rises because communication feels more modern and responsive.

Common friction points
Our internal data also highlights a few recurring wishes:
– More granular control over patient actions in the app
– Some Spendbase clients want tighter control over what patients can change or access (for example, limiting rescheduling or specific in-app actions).
– Fine-tuning configuration
– A portion of offices would like even deeper customization of messaging and permissions as they scale.

How SKED fits different practice types
– Best fit: busy chiropractic practices that:
– Struggle with no‑shows and last‑minute cancels
– Have limited front-desk capacity
– Want to appear more “tech-forward” to patients
– May be less ideal if:
– The practice wants extremely strict, manual control over every appointment change and is hesitant to let patients self-serve.

Spendbase discount & optimization view
From a Spendbase cost-optimization standpoint, our internal data shows that SKED tends to:
– Pay for itself fastest in higher-volume clinics with frequent schedule gaps
– Deliver the most value when all features are actually turned on (reminders, reactivation, reviews, two-way texting)
– Be an especially good target for negotiation and tier-rightsizing if your team isn’t using every module yet

Net takeaway: Spendbase clients generally see SKED as a “game changer” for both patients and staff, with the main opportunity being more precise control over what patients can do inside the app.
