Dear Andy

I am currently in search of new software currently running Helios however I would like to switch. I need something that is easy to learn and something I can network salons to. Do you suggest Sunlync? What do you suggest I switch to?

Thank in advance

Re: Dear Andy

I'd like to see new software designed by Helios or another company. Do they ever look for salon owner/computer techs to alpha or beta test?

Re: Dear Andy

Several reasons one is I do not care to use centerix and I heard all other versions are being phased without support or anymore updates. However the tech support has been friendly at Helios. I just don't really care for Centerix.

Do you feel this is easy to teach new staff? Also how do you feel about using it to network mulitple locations?

Re: Dear Andy

I would suggest that you go to their website, nichesoft.com and read all about their products. You can order a free demo too.

Re: Dear Andy

I have Sunlync. It didn't take to long to pick up. My employee got it much faster than I did but I was readily available to answer her questions while I had to call for help when I was confused. You can link it to other salons as well. It's a great system. No problems but I have nothing to compare it to so take that for what it's worth.

Re: Dear Andy

Many, many of the "big players" have switched to Sunlync -- truly, among those I consider some of the sharpest salon owners in the industry - and I have never heard ONE of them yet say going to Sunlync was a mistake!
