Shared Spaces

As a tech-savvy therapist, Bart has always appreciated when technology steps in to make life easier. Running a busy group practice with a constantly rotating team of therapists, he faced a common but frustrating challenge: finding a low-maintenance yet discreet way for the therapists in his practice to know when their clients arrived. Traditional call light systems were too expensive, clunky, and frankly, not the modern solution he envisioned. When he put out feelers on listservs, the response was unanimous—no one had found a great fix. So Bart did what any problem-solver would do: he hired a freelance developer to build a custom system. It worked—until it didn’t.

Then came the game-changer. A colleague introduced Bart to Arrival App. Unlike his homegrown solution that required clients to download an app, Arrival App was simple, sleek, and incredibly easy to use. A patient taps a name, and the therapist gets a text. No downloads, no sign-ins, just seamless communication. “We are loving it,” Bart says. “It’s like one of those call light systems, but cooler.” Within a day, his entire practice was up and running—and now, the waiting room runs itself.
