How to improve your tanning business with our Salon Software

For those of you that follow our news page regularly, you may recall that we covered a lot of tanning safety and how salon software can improve the security of your tanning business during busy periods.

As we’re in the height of tanning season again, we just wanted to re-visit some of the daily hindrances that owners of tanning salons find and how our salon software can solve some of those problems.

Under-age tanning

You’ll get several that will try it, and especially if they’re the younger sibling of an elder who is over 18. You’ll find many trying to pass as others using fake ID’s and the like, and sometimes, these may look so legitimate you actually end up allowing someone to tan, who shouldn’t be, without even realising! So, we came up with a fingerprint recognition feature that prompts clients to scan their fingerprint on registration. Obviously as a fingerprint is unique to any one person, this then secures their details and also provides salon owners with piece of mind that no one is using another’s details maliciously, as each time a sunbed is booked the system will require the fingerprint to match before that client is able to use the bed. The system also simply stores date of births, another requirement upon client registration. Therefore if you have clients that are under 18 and they use your salon for other treatments, such as beauty etc, if they then come and try to book on to a sunbed the system will physically put a block on that client being able to as it will show up that they are under 18. A great feature for when salon owners are away as this ensures security and legality by making sure that therapists can’t make mistakes of allowing underage clients to tan.

High volume of paper disclaimers and client record cards

When your salons client database starts reaching the thousands, it can become very time-consuming to search through realms of paper documents when looking for a particular client’s records. Our salon software stores all client information digitally, from their name and address to their skin type and tanning minutes. Another great feature is that we can also link up with an electronic signature pad, meaning that clients can sign your salon terms and conditions electronically, again meaning that you no longer have to refer to searching though paper documents. Essentially, your salon can become paperless, improving efficiency and also space management!

‘Mysterious Minutes’


From time-to-time, you may have human error mistakes made where minutes are accidentally not accounted for, or someone has given somebody more minutes than they may have paid for. You however unfortunately may find that on the off-occasion you have malicious behaviours going on in the salon, where ‘freebie’ minutes are given out and you have no record of this happening. So, we came up with an integration that allows us to link with T-max timers, meaning that the system accurately tracks all minutes used in real-time, and assigns them to clients meaning that no-one can book on to a sunbed without being registered within the Salon Tracker system. And even if you don’t want to implement a timer manager yet, our software tracks all client minutes accurately meaning that you can see how many minutes a client has purchased, when, and how many of that package they have remaining. These can all be identified on digital reports and on the client’s record card stored within the system, therefore if anything doesn’t add up you can easily identify why.
