Shortcuts overview

What is Shortcuts?

Shortcuts is a business management software designed specifically for the salon industry, but also serving barbershops, spas, and other beauty and wellbeing businesses. There are extensive appointment booking options, with the ability to re-schedule and change appointments. Appointments can be grouped together and recurring appointments can be setup for repeat customers. Front desk management tools include a point of sale system that allows refunds to be processed and discounts applied to keep customers happy.

Businesses can manage their service offerings and offer customers the ability to purchase services in bulk. Customer management features allow for the recording of every customer interaction, allowing staff to effectively sell products and services. Automated inventory management provides notifications to alert staff of when to order new products and the resource management functionality helps staff to manage service rooms and/or equipment. The system generates analytics and reports on employee and business performance, showing statistics for the number of upsells, attendance rates, and more.
