Client programs

Hey what does everyone use for keeping track of their clients tans, sales, etc? Do most people go with quickbooks supplemented by something else? Obviously you'll have different people with different prices due to packages, etc. What if you give a better deal to a friend or something...do you have programs that allow this flexibility?

Would be great to see how you all log your info. I'll be doing mobile tanning so may not need something as complex as a regular salon, but not sure.

Thanks!

Re: Client programs

There are many software programs made specifically for salons that keep record of all the information you listed.

We use SalonTouch at my salon and it is super easy to keep record of sales, client records, packages, etc. You can also pull up all sorts of reports to keep track of your business. Other popular salon software is SunLync(used at my old salon - also very easy) and Helios ( a little more complex). Just do some research and see what program is the most ideal for your business. Good luck!!

Re: Client programs

We've been open just a little over a month and use TanTrack by Nichsoft; so far so good.

Re: Client programs

I dont use a salon software yet but would like to eventually. Right now, I use MS Small Business Accounting and it allows me to keep track of everything in there. I can pull different reports and see what packages/products are selling the best, which salespeople are selling the most, etc.

Re: Client programs

TanTrack gets my vote! Very easy to use and very good customer support. The biggest thing I like is that I OWN the program and do not have to pay monthly to use it.
