Why We Stand Out from Dentrix Ascend

Compare the features and discover why upgrading to Archy is the smarter, more efficient choice for your practice—saving time, reducing costs, and improving patient care.

Benefits of the cloud

Remote access

Archy provides access to your data anytime, anywhere. With an internet connection, you can see patient records, schedules, and billing info from your practice or at home.

Cost savings

With the cloud, you can forget about the hassle and expense of servers and IT companies.

Security

With Archy's cloud-based system, you significantly reduce your risk of data loss and security issues. Forget hardware failures and backup worries; Archy keeps your data safe and secure.

Always up-to date

Never worry about updates again. Archy's cloud system keeps you up-to-date on the newest versions automatically with no down time.

Flow 1: Customer Communications Tools

Step 1

Archy's online self-scheduling tool lets you include a button on your site, enabling patients to seamlessly book or request appointments themselves.

Step 2

In the settings you can customize which type of patients - new or existing - can book, and even limit the types of appointments they can schedule, such as cleanings or consultations, excluding lengthier ones like crowns or cavity fillings.

Step 3

You also have the flexibility to determine when different types of patients can book or request appointments in your schedule. For instance, you may prefer to see new patients only on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Step 4

Since this involves a new patient, the next step in the self-scheduling process is to gather their details. If they don't already exist in the system, this information will automatically generate a new patient profile in Archy.

Step 5

After Jack schedules his appointment, it's automatically slotted into the schedule.

Step 6

As Jack is a new patient, Archy will automatically send him a text with a link to fill out the new patient intake forms online. Once he completes them, the data he provides will be automatically added into Archy.

Step 7

Archy will also automatically send Jack a text message reminder to confirm his appointment.

Step 8

Archy includes both automated texting and two-way texting features. So, if Jack has a question, he can text it directly to you, and you can respond right from within Archy.
