Problem
Salons, spas and aesthetic clinics often rely on disconnected tools for appointment scheduling, client communication, payments and marketing, leading to manual admin work, missed bookings, low client retention and limited insight into business performance.
Solution
Phorest provides a cloud‑based, all‑in‑one software platform that unifies scheduling, online booking, point‑of‑sale, integrated payments, loyalty programs and automated marketing. Clients can book 24/7 via a branded website widget, app or social media, while staff manage appointments, rosters and inventory from any device. Built‑in deposit handling and automated SMS/email reminders reduce no‑shows, and the loyalty “Treatcard” system drives repeat visits and higher spend. Real‑time reporting links client activity, staff performance and financials, enabling owners to track growth and make data‑driven decisions without needing separate systems.
