Simplifying Salon Management

We all dream, not all of our dreams come true. But, then there are some people who strive every single day to transform their dream into a reality because they believe in themselves and their dreams. I was one of them. I started my own salon and spa a few months back, it was my dream and I pursued it. But, it did not turn out to be as easy as I thought it would be. 

Opening the business itself was hard enough given the bad economy and the abundance of elite salons all around, but, the aftermath was even worse. I tried to keep track of the financial transactions the traditional way but, that did not work. You see, maintaining a functional transaction record is an essential part of maintaining a healthy relationship with employees as well as customers, the key aspect of running a business successfully.

Then I heard about the salon and spa POS software. I started researching about it and found out that POS or point of sale is the time and place where a specific retail transaction was completed. That is, it is the recorded point in time and place when a customer pays an amount to a merchant in exchange for his chosen goods or services. The software based on this principle is called POS software.

Then I came across an online portal offering this exceptionally functional software for an affordable price. The company’s name was Siboom and you can visit their website at: http://www.siboom.com/index.html. But, your primary question should be, “did that software help? If it did, then how?” and I will answer your questions one by one.

I did install this Salon and spa POS software and it helped me and my clients in various ways ensuring they kept coming back to me and I can fulfill their needs without any hassle. Here’s how:

·         It offered multiple payment methods so that the financial transaction was as easy as can be for the clients.

·         They could easily apply store coupons and promotions to all the included services without any hassle.

·         The receipts came out clear.

·         Recording the sales transactions was never easier.

·         Product pricing and discounts could be easily managed.

·         Processing refunds became easier.

Basically, managing the sales transactions became easier and balancing the other aspects of the business with the financial aspect became manageable too. So, one salon owner to another, I would suggest you get it installed too or at least do your own research to know and reap the benefits of installing such software.
