Benefits of Good Quality Equipment

When you’re running a salon or tanning business, having the right tools in place is essential. Not just for smooth day to day operations, but also for ensuring your equipment integrates properly and delivers a seamless customer experience.

At Salon Tracker we don’t just offer software,  we offer complete peace of mind by supplying salon hardware that is guaranteed to work with our system. Here’s why it makes sense to buy your hardware from us and who we recommend when it comes to tanning products and sunbed equipment.

 

Guaranteed Compatibility with Salon Tracker

When you purchase your salon hardware directly from Salon Tracker, you can trust that it’s fully compatible with our software. Everything we provide, from our all-in-one PCs and receipt printers to barcode scanners and cash drawers is tried, tested, and configured to work seamlessly with our system.

If you choose to buy hardware elsewhere, we can’t guarantee that it will integrate properly. This could result in frustrating connection issues, unsupported devices, and delays in getting up and running.

We’re also only able to offer full technical support for hardware that has been purchased through us, giving you added reassurance if you ever need help or advice.

 

Built for Professional Use

All of the equipment we supply is designed for high traffic salon environments. That means it’s reliable, built to last, and offers a professional appearance that enhances your customer experience. With pre-configured setup and ongoing support, you save time, avoid unnecessary headaches, and get the most from your investment.

For T-Max Timers - Use Trusted Providers

While we don’t sell T-Max timers directly, we strongly recommend purchasing them from trusted industry suppliers. These providers offer reliable equipment that we know works well with Salon Tracker, and many also supply full sunbed solutions.

Here are the T-Max providers we recommend:

• Tan Empire
• Bronze Direct
• Sun & Health
• Cyrano

These companies are highly regarded in the industry and offer not only timers, but also a wide range of tanning equipment including sunbeds and accessories.

 

Important: When purchasing a T-Max timer to use with Salon Tracker, it’s essential that you also buy the correct communication cable. This specific cable is required to ensure proper integration with our software. Without it, the timer may not connect correctly, so double check with your supplier or speak to our team for guidance.

 

Purchasing your salon hardware through Salon Tracker means guaranteed software compatibility, professional grade quality, and full technical support. When it comes to specialist tanning equipment like T-Max timers, choosing trusted suppliers ensures everything works properly, looks great, and lasts longer.

How Your Data Is Stored Depending on Your Salon Tracker Package

At Salon Tracker, we know how important your data is - from customer appointments to sales records and everything in between. Depending on your subscription package, we offer different methods for safely storing and backing up your data. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand where your data is stored and how to make sure it’s backed up correctly.

 

Standard & Professional Packages: Local Storage

If you’re using our Standard or Professional package, your data is stored locally. This means that it stays on your computer and is not saved on our servers.

To protect your valuable information, we strongly recommend regularly backing up your database to a USB stick. We suggest using a USB drive with at least 8GB of storage to ensure there’s enough space for the backup.

How to Back Up Locally:

1. Close Salon Tracker as you normally would at the end of the day.
2. Insert your USB stick.
3. Make sure the ‘Backup the Database (Removable Drive)’ option is ticked and turns green.
4. That’s it - your data is now safely backed up on your USB stick.

By following this simple step daily, you’ll always have a recent backup in case anything goes wrong with your PC.

 

Enterprise Package: Cloud Storage

For those on the Enterprise package, we offer the convenience and security of cloud data syncing. This means your data can be securely stored online - giving you peace of mind.

How to Sync to the Cloud:

1. Shut down Salon Tracker as usual.
2. Make sure the ‘Sync Data Online’ option is ticked and turns green before your PC powers off.

This feature ensures your data is uploaded to our secure cloud server, so there’s no need to manually back up using USB drives.

 

Need Help?

If you're unsure which package you're on, our support team is here to help. Regular data backups are vital to keeping your salon running smoothly, and we want to ensure you're covered no matter which plan you're using.

 

Stay safe, stay backed up, and thank you for choosing Salon Tracker.

Summer Marketing with Salon Tracker

Summer is the most profitable season for tanning salons. As customers prepare for holidays, festivals, and long-awaited beach days, everyone’s chasing that golden glow. But with high demand comes the challenge of staying organised, delivering great service, and standing out from the competition.

That’s where Salon Tracker steps in, your all-in-one salon management software that helps you fill every bed, boost bookings, and run smarter campaigns.

Whether you’re managing a single tanning studio or multiple locations, Salon Tracker gives you everything you need to keep operations running smoothly and your marketing sharp, all from one powerful platform.

Keep Every Bed Booked, Every Hour of the Day

Timing is everything during peak season. With Salon Tracker’s real-time bed scheduling, you can ensure no slot goes to waste. With our Enterprise package, clients can book and manage their own appointments online, which means fewer phone calls and less admin for your staff.

You can also use the system to promote off-peak time slots, helping you spread demand more evenly throughout the day and avoid bottlenecks during the busiest hours.

Supercharge Your Marketing with SMS & Mailchimp

Salon Tracker takes your marketing up a level with built-in SMS campaigns and seamless Mailchimp integration. This means you can stay front-of-mind with clients all summer long, whether it’s to promote a new tanning package, share an exciting giveaway, or fill last-minute availability.

Send flash promotions straight to client phones, email summer offers with eye-catching visuals, and trigger automatic reminders for expiring sessions. And because all activity is tracked, you can see exactly which messages are driving results and adjust your approach as needed.

Better still, marketing can be tailored to each client’s history and preferences, helping you build stronger relationships with minimal effort.

Convert Social Followers into Summer Clients

Social media is where your clients spend their time, especially in summer. With our Enterprise package, you can link your live booking calendar directly from your Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok posts or stories, making it easy for followers to book in just one tap.

This opens up exciting new ways to promote your business. Share last-minute appointment slots, showcase seasonal products like tan accelerators, or run giveaways that reward loyal followers with free sessions or discounts.

Analyse Your Success in Real Time

Salon Tracker’s reporting features help you do more than just run promotions, they help you understand what works. You can easily see which tanning beds are most popular, and monitor average client spend across your business.

These insights allow you to adjust your strategy mid-season and help you make better-informed marketing decisions next year.

 

Salon Tracker gives you the tools to stay fully booked, market more effectively, and build long-term client loyalty, during summer and beyond.
