Is a modern POS system a worthwhile salon & spa investment?

A salon & spa business has many moving parts to manage. While many salons are coping with a cash register, it is highly recommended to get a modern POS system to minimize human errors and optimize operation management efficiency.

Read on to find out why getting a modern POS system will benefit you and your salon & spa business in the long run.

Customer and service package management

A common practice for salon & spa businesses is creating attractive service packages for their customers to take up. This will boost sales and keep their customer retention rates at a healthy level.

As your customer base grows, maintaining records of your customers’ service package balance will be an increasingly tedious task without a modern POS system to combine sales and service package management.

A modern POS system helps you get rid of the multiple bookkeeping methods for managing your customers’ service packages. By combining sales transactions and customer service package management, the customer’s session balance will be updated automatically once they have completed a session or renew their service packages. This saves you the time-consuming task of manually updating customer service package records, which is also prone to human error.

Staff commission tabulation

Many salon & spa businesses implement a commission scheme to encourage staff to promote service packages to their customers. When it comes to tabulation of staff commissions, it can be a rather time-consuming task with manual bookkeeping methods. This can be solved by simply adopting a modern POS system.

A modern POS system synchronizes sales transactions with staff commissions. It will automatically calculate the commission of the sale for the staff selected during checkout based on the preset commission percentage of each package.

A commission report can be generated to provide you with the commission each staff is entitled to.

Inventory management

Salon & spa businesses often stock up on products to upsell to customers. With wide variety of products, it is essential that your sales transaction is linked up with your sales transactions to ensure you have accurate inventory updates.

Accurate inventory updates are important so that you do not run out of stocks. It also allows you to identify the bestselling products and implement the appropriate stock in strategies.

Cloud connectivity

You may not be able to be at your salon & spa outlet all the time due to a busy schedule.

This not only safeguards your business data, but also makes scaling your business easy as your existing POS backend settings can be easily downloaded into your new outlet’s POS system.
