How our Software can help you through busy periods

Running a salon can often be a stressful task. Managing staff, juggling with clients and oversee sales and marketing can be a hideous task to manage all by yourself. Especially, in the run up to Christmas, when all of a sudden you have customers after customers wanting to be squeezed in before the festive days. How is there any time left to improve things such as client retention, stock control and business analytics. After all, you can’t be at the salon 24/7, but probably wish that in these periods there would be a possibility to be more productive even when you are not around. If these things sound all too familiar to you then Salon Tracker might be the solution to you. Let me tell you why:

Many salons still rely on the traditional pen and paper appointment booking system, however new technology now makes it possible to use Salon Software to seamlessly manage your salon. Salon Tracker is designed to keep track of all appointments and client data and is simply supposed to help with managing your salon better. It is far more than just an appointment scheduling system. We offer features such as stock control, booking and no show reminders, SMS and email marketing, online booking, advanced reports and many more. This is certainly important if you are looking at boosting any last minute sales and want to target specific groups. What you want, especially before big sales opportunities such as Black Friday, Christmas or Mother’s Day is a system that makes life easier not harder, as well as support your staff and help you plan ahead.

The calendar view helps you to keep track of general appointments, upcoming bookings and no shows. You can access it from your salon PC or laptop or on the go on through our site view feature on any portable device. We have chosen a few features that are useful in everyday salon life and will certainly make life easier in busy periods.


Marketing & SMS Reminders

Our Marketing feature is so simple to set up, yet a very easy way to engage with customers. Salon Tracker supports email as well as SMS marketing. It’s an easy way to spread the word about offers and incentives without the lengthy process of planning numerous marketing campaigns. Just use our software to filter your customers database for upcoming birthdays, VIP’s or customer by age and simply send out your message. Our handy feature can be used for all kinds of things and is primarily designed to get the word out if you want to promote your services. You have a variety of options to choose from for your personalised campaigned. It's a great way to work on your client retention and encourage your customers to book with you in the future.

To ensure customers won’t miss their appointments, once booked in, always remember to enable automatic booking reminders. That way you can sit back and relax, without worrying to ring numerous customers. In case of a no show the same concept applies. All customers who haven’t turned up to their appointments will receive an automatic SMS notifications.

Advanced Business Reports

Reception duties and evaluating your salons performance is one of those tedious tasks that no one has time for, but can be crucial for planning ahead. Save this time for your clients and let Salon Tracker do the job. As we provide a variety of business reports, the advanced business reports on the software enable you to find out clear and concise information on all aspects of your business quick and easy. We offer simple reports from a cashing up report to more complex annual sales charts. This helps salon owners, especially those of multiple sites, make informed business decisions to increase profitability whilst absent from the salon.

Fingerprint Reader + Staff Rota 

When your Salon is busy and you as a salon owner has a lot going on, it sometimes can be hard to observe every client that comes through the door or your staff. To speed up the process of looking clients up on your database, you can simply add their fingerprint to the system and the next time they put their finger on the reader their client card will open instantly.
Our smart staff rota system, now lets you take control and ensure your staff arrive and leave on time. We have integrated a function on our software that links to a fingerprint reader. Our ‘Staff Rota’ feature is an easy way to track clocking in and clocking out times. Once it is linked up to a fingerprint reader, staff members simply place their finder on the reader before they start their shifts and again when they finish their shifts. The feature will accurately track the duration of staff shits without them being able to edit or manipulate the rota. You can run specific reports at the end of the week/month to check your staffs working hours.


Site-view

Salon software is a great way to take control of your salon business, especially for when you cannot get in to the salon. Site View is designed to oversee salon activity wherever you are at home or on holiday, ensuring that business still maintains its professionalism even in your absence. 

It gives you the ability to oversee your business and monitor activities such as bookings, takings, refunds and stock management. You can also access staff performance charts to maintain authority in your absence. Site View is an essential for those salon owners who hold multiple sites and need to split themselves between sites, especially those business owners that are constantly on the go. Access your current business activity from your smartphone, iPad, tablet or a PC. Furthermore, your staff will get their unique log-ins to view their upcoming appointments for the upcoming week.
