One of RexSoft’s customers is Rafael’s barbershop. This barbershop located in NY provides the scope of cutting-edge services so it needs something special for delivering business growth and scaling up.
The owners of Rafael's Barbershop decided something had to be done about it and to keep the business growing, they needed to bring in cutting-edge technology. They turned to RexSoft to create a multifunctional barbershop software system that could optimize customer flow and manage staff availability. We just nodded understandingly and went to work. The solution offered by RexSoft was custom barbershop software that will cope with all the tasks and provide multiple functions in one product.
Why Choosing a Custom Barbershop Software?
So, although the functionality of most CRM is quite similar, in each case we must proceed from the needs of the business. After talking with the client and analyzing how to solve their problems with the technological bespoke solution, we made a list of requirements:
- Implementation of a reminder system for customers.
- Ability to record clients correctly.
- Ability to manage the employment of barbers.
- Ability to add information about days off or busy days.
- To manage all the requests the barbershop receives in a core system in the form the customer wants..
- To provide a high-security level to protect customers’ data. Custom barbershop software allows providing that requirement while ready-made solutions lack security.
Main Modules of Custom Barbershop Software
The barbershop software we’ve developed for Rafael’s barbershop is intended to optimize customers’ requests and registration. The barbershop software consists of several modules:
Booking
The scheduling component allows booking a visit to the barbershop. Besides the booking option, the customer also can create a waiting list to provide visits to specialists who have gaps in their schedules.
Online payment
The online payment system allows customers to pay for the barbershop’s services using bank cards online.
Follow-up
Twilio-based follow-up module that provides mailing via emails/SMS. This module includes automated notifications for customers about their planned visits to the barbershop and an Antispam system of SMS phone number verification when booking a visit to the barbershop.
Customers' rate
This semi-automatic system allows barbershop management to form an assessment of customers, taking into account their punctuality (lateness), the facts of cancellation of the visit, or cancellation of the reservation before the visit. An obligatory deposit is automatically applied to customers with a low rating when booking a visit.
Customer history
The barbershop software automatically generates a customer history, which includes a history of SMS, Email notification, and a list of ordered services.
HR module
The manager that has administrative access has the ability to manage the staff of the barbershop (work schedule, list of services, rating, and info in the specialist card).
