## Overview

### Key benefits of SalonUltimate

BookedBy helps service businesses turn scheduling into an operational advantage. By connecting appointments, walk-ins, staff capacity, customer engagement, payments, and business management, the platform helps businesses capture more opportunities while simplifying the experience for customers, employees, and operators.

Maximize capacity with smarter scheduling.

BookedBy is designed for the reality that not every customer plans their visit the same way. Flexible Booking brings appointments and walk-ins together, allowing businesses to serve both without relying on disconnected processes. First Available and Optimized Booking help make better use of staff availability and open capacity, creating opportunities to accommodate more customers.

Improve the Walk in experience.

Real-Time Wait Times help businesses provide customers with more accurate expectations based on current operations, staff availability, and performance. Queue and waitlist capabilities give teams greater visibility into demand while helping customers better understand when they can expect to be served.

Create a better digital booking experience.

The BookedBy Client Site provides customers with a customizable, mobile-friendly destination for online booking. Customers can find services, view providers, and book appointments 24/7 while interacting with an experience designed to reflect the business's brand.

Simplify Check-In and Checkout.

Self-service kiosk capabilities help streamline arrival and checkout workflows while reducing repetitive front-desk tasks. Check-in also helps businesses capture accurate customer information and marketing opt-ins, creating better data for future customer engagement.

Connect the customer journey.

BookedBy brings booking, check-in, service, payment, tipping, marketing, and rebooking into a connected workflow. Instead of piecing together multiple systems for everyday interactions, businesses can create a more consistent experience from the moment a customer books or walks in through their next visit.

Build customer loyalty

Integrated email and SMS marketing tools allow businesses to communicate with customers based on visit and purchase behavior. Create targeted campaigns, promote offers, reconnect with customers who have not returned, and encourage repeat visits using the customer data already captured within the platform.

Make everyday operations easier.

Employee scheduling, customer management, mobile and tablet tools, inventory, reporting, notifications, and other operational capabilities give teams the tools they need to manage everyday work. Straightforward workflows help reduce complexity and make the platform easier for employees to learn and use consistently.

Support multi-location growth.

BookedBy is built to support businesses ranging from individual locations to franchises and enterprise brands with hundreds of locations. Centralized capabilities and configurable workflows help organizations maintain consistency while supporting the needs of individual locations and evolving business models.

Connect with your technology ecosystem.

BookedBy supports integrations with payment and technology providers, including options from Worldpay, Global Payments, and Fiserv/Clover. This gives businesses flexibility when building a technology and payment environment that supports their operational requirements.

Operate with confidence.

Security, reliability, and responsible handling of business, customer, and payment information are important components of the BookedBy platform. Payment capabilities work with established processing partners and technologies designed around industry security and compliance requirements.

With BookedBy, businesses gain more than scheduling software. They get a platform designed around the complete service journey—helping them optimize capacity, simplify operations, strengthen customer relationships, and scale with confidence.

Book more. Stress less.

### "Salon Ultimate is the most advanced software I have come across" — 5.0/5

> **Ricky** | *March 12, 2014*
> 
> I have had the pleasure of being a salon owner since 1993. During the past 21 years salon  and spa software has evolved enormously.
 
I have seen many software companies' come and go. In the past we simply needed a cash register. Those days are long gone. Today we require more than just a point of sale at the front desk.  We need a tool that can help us manage our business and our clientele history.
 
There are many software choices but for us the decision was clear. Salon Ultimate is the most advanced software I have come across and it becomes more robust with every update. There are new and improved features that are integrated directly to our 8 workstations on a regular basis. These features are designed to make the job of a salon coordinator and salon owners substantially easier.
 
The features in Salon Ultimate are very extensive. They include POS, appointment book, reports, ability for staff to see their schedules on their mobile devices and much more.
 
Marketing and reliability, scheduling and detailed reports are just the core features. We actually save money in the long run with Salon Ultimate's automated email confirmations, online booking, professional guidance and email marketing capability. The service is web based and I review activity from home, confirm appointment requests and even train staff remotely. The most recent bonus was the construction and launching of a mobile app to our website. What other company will give you that? Did I mention that they recommended a firm to build our interactive website and linked the interphase with our network? This makes appointment requests and gift card sales easy to log, track and process directly into our daily sales report.
 
Another important relevant aspect is the exceptional customer service provided by Salon Ultimate.  The knowledgeable staff goes above and beyond my expectations. They are always helpful and attentive to our needs, concerns and questions. The staff at Salon Ultimate is not only software designers, they are considered to be our business partners and friends. They advise us, based upon 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, be it hardware decisions, software tutorials or business practices.
 
I can't express highly enough our appreciation for Salon Ultimate. I would recommend the service, software and relationship that we have come to know and trust to anybody looking for the best in salon and spa software.
