About these examples: Marinas, dog breeders, real estate companies, and sewing or tailoring businesses are customer industry categories. The workflows shown here illustrate how configurable WaitlistPlus features may be used; they are not descriptions of individual customer accounts or specialized industry modules.
WaitlistPlus keeps the waiting list organized. It does not provide animal breeding or veterinary records, property management, MLS, applicant screening, point-of-sale, inventory, appointment scheduling, production management, or a general-purpose CRM.
