Bunnyfoot saved us time and money, but most importantly, ensured our solution is loved by users (we don’t ever use mandates) and is a “no-brainer” for the key decision makers within our customers. This isn’t just because of the look and feel, it is mostly because of the way Bunnyfoot helped us to understand the real needs of our users.
