Time is money

Have you thought to yourself: "How can I manage daily tasks in a way to help me work more efficiently?” The phrase “time is money” is well-fitted when you’re buried under a mountain of tasks. And of course, you’d like to find some leisure time in the middle of all of this as well.

Answering calls, managing customer transactions, keeping tabs on employee work hours, and ordering supplies – time flies for managers and salon owners who are left with such duties. Their role, however, is to provide clients with services. These tedious tasks can be scaled down and even expedited, thanks to the efficiency of salon software. 

An end to answering calls

It may seem as though employees sit and wait for clients to call in for a reservation. More often than not, they call minutes before they walk in, or when employees are busy providing services.

In a situation like this, the salon would need to consider hiring a receptionist, which not everyone can afford. The solution is online booking, which works hand in hand with an electronic appointment book. This virtual employee works more effectively than any other receptionist, and most importantly, thanks to online booking, the salon is accessible to clients 24/7. Employees will only need to watch with satisfaction as their appointment book fills up. 

More effective communication 

Regular communication with clients is essential in creating and maintaining customer loyalty. Unfortunately, this is one of the primary areas that is often neglected, due to a lack of time. An efficient hair & beauty salon software will provide you with the solution: automatic appointment reminders via text, email and push messages. Not only does this shorten the time spent with individual clients and eliminate non-effective communication, but most importantly helps reduce no-shows – by up to 70%.

Hair and beauty salons are also taking advantage of and contentedly using automatic messages to send review requests. We all know that positive reviews are worth their weight in gold, and that a satisfied client always recommends the salon to others. The difficult part would be to gather positive reviews on your own. 

Total control of numbers and stock levels

Preparing cash reports, ordering new stock, specific period analysis and stocktaking is a pain in the neck for people who don’t feel confident with numbers. There’s no need to avoid such tasks - with the appropriate system, they can be streamlined.

A salon management software can automatically calculate daily or monthly earnings, show which services are the most popular, and even provide a revenue forecast. Stock levels are also visible, and the system lets you manage stock orders. All reports are created and calculated automatically.

This saves you time but also provides valuable information, which helps make better business decisions, improve personnel management and streamline marketing operations.

Our state-of-the-art program eliminates many wearisome and time-consuming tasks. See for yourself how much easier work can be at your salon.
