Beehind the Scenes with Donna Golden

Donna invested in a tablet, a business phone line, professional liability insurance, and branding materials. But the real foundation was Zanda, a platform that gave her a seamless way to manage client care, scheduling, documentation, and billing in one place.

"Zanda saved me 15% of my time right away, no more toggling different systems. Everything's in one place, and it's easy to access between visits."

Beehind the Scenes with Judy Meckna

Judy and her partner opened a clinic that put families at the center of the experience and focused on reaching kids in the most critical window of development. With no legacy software to slow them down, they dove straight into Zanda, a platform that was designed to scale with them.

From scheduling and reminders, to team coordination and secure telehealth, Zanda quickly became their clinic's digital backbone.

Beehind the Scenes with Mark Langlois

When Mark first started his private practice, he relied on a patchwork of tools: Excel for invoicing, Word docs for clinical notes, Outlook for scheduling. But once referrals ramped up, it became unsustainable.

"I realized pretty early that managing five different systems manually was going to eat me alive. I'd done database work before, I knew the value of integration. Zanda offered that."

Beehind the Scenes with Marizel van Rensburg

For Marizel, Zanda is a partner in her practice. The ability to streamline everything from booking to billing allows her to stay focused on what matters most: her patients.

Beehind the Scenes with Vanessa Grimes, L.Ac.

Beehind the Scenes with David Goodman, Counsellor

David has discovered a meaningful way to extend the therapeutic value of each session by offering clients their BizzyAI-generated notes.

Speech Pathologist breaks free from Evenings of Admin

When Sophie first started her speech pathology practice, she used a simple paper diary and manilla folders for client files. But by 2015, she realised that things had to change. With a busy schedule seeing up to 8 clients a day, the paperwork was getting out of hand.

She was also motivated by environmental concerns and wanted to move towards a paperless clinic (or at least avoid using paper as much as possible!).

He took a pragmatic engineering approach to diagnosis and management and his practice grew to have 5 practitioners operating across 3 locations.
