According to Insight Salon & Spa Software, they can help you with appointment booking, marketing, employee management, inventory management and online backups. See more information below:
Appointment Booking
Pick the time and service provider (i.e. stylist, therapist, etc.), enter the client, select the service, and hit OK. Does the booked service require a tanning bed, a manicure station or other specialized equipment? Insight will automatically take care of booking the necessary resources as well.
Insight can also be set up to remind and confirm appointments via email or text. To save yourself even more time, use Insight's Online Appointment Booking feature and have your clients’ book at their convenience.
Marketing
Serving a client once is not always enough to bring them back again. You need to show that you appreciate and want their business. Insight makes this easy with its customer relationship management system. Store client data, track their history, manage their loyalty points, and communicate directly with them via email and text messages.
Employee Management
Scheduling employees is not only time consuming, but can also be a pain. Insight makes this easy by setting up a recurring schedule. Did an employee request vacation? Insight will warn you of any affected appointments and will help you move them to another time or to another employee.
Inventory Management
Running low on retail or professional products? Insight can track usage and sales. If the product falls below the designated threshold, a purchase order can automatically be created and submitted.
Online Backups
The data you have is important: appointment schedules, client and employee information, financial records and more. Save time by automatically backing up your data with Insight. Once you set it up, you can forget all about it. In case anything happens, all your data will be safe and secure.
