Our
software is very simple to navigate. Once you have got the hang of how it
operates, it becomes easy to use and hassle-free. However, not all of our
customers know about some small features that can make their lives even easier.
Here are five features of Salon Tracker that you may not know about:
Bed Transfer
When you
assign a customer to a bed, sometimes other beds can become free before the one
you have assigned them to. Our transfer feature allows you to transfer
customers from one bed to another before they have started. Simply press the ‘transfer’
button on the bed they are currently on and then press the bed you would like
to move them to. This will move them across to the vacant bed and reduce
waiting time.
Waiting List
In busy periods, or when customers request specific beds that aren’t available, our waiting list feature is especially useful. Underneath each bed, there are slots that you can put customers on to assign them to a specific bed once it becomes available. Simply press the slot and put the customer on as normal. This will increase the overall waiting time for the bed as that customer is now first in line for when it becomes available. Once the bed becomes available, simply press on the customer in the waiting slot and press ‘confirm’. This will move them up from the waiting slot to put them on the bed. We can also add more waiting slots in for busier salons.
Custom Dress Down
When it comes to customers using a bed, they will need some time to get changed and put their tanning lotions on before the bed starts. Salon Tracker has a default dress down and cool down period of 3 minutes either side of the bed’s minutes to allow for this. However, some customers may need more time for many reasons. Our custom dress down feature allows customers to request a certain amount of minutes to allow them the right amount of time. This can be changed in their customer account on Salon Tracker. Simply go into their customer account and go to the ‘tanning’ section. There you will see the drop down button for custom minutes. Once changed, press ‘save’ and this will be automatically applied every time this customer uses the beds.
Stock Warning Level
One of our selling
points is our stock management feature, but did you know you can add a low
stock warning level? In the ‘stock info’ tab of a product, once you have ticked
‘monitor stock levels’ you can add in a low stock warning level by using the
drop down arrows. Once the correct number is added, press ‘save’. Once this
product reaches the warning level set, it will prompt you to restock it next
time someone tries to purchase it. This is a useful feature to make sure you
never run out of stock.
Company Holiday
Going to be closed for a period of time? If you set a company holiday on Salon Tracker, this means that no customers will be able to book anything during this time, saving you the hassle of having to put holidays on each bookable item. This can be done in Salon Tracker by going to the admin section, settings, holidays, edit and add holiday, you can then add the dates you will be closed for. This is popular with our clients over the festive period.
We hope you have learnt something new about Salon Tracker, and we these features make running your salon a little easier!
