Our take
Boulevard is a business management platform developed to help streamline the operations of appointment-based businesses, particularly spas and hairdressers. Boulevard addresses the challenges of spas and hairdressers by designing software that makes it easier to automate workflows, scheduling, and pricing, helping drive customers through their doors.
The global spa and salon market is projected to reach a market size exceeding $447 billion by 2032. Traditionally, appointment-based businesses have been heavily reliant on paperwork and receptionists, but Boulevard is looking to modernise the industry by helping drive efficiencies, profit, and a better customer experience.
Boulevard is one in a sea of companies offering software to digitise appointment-based businesses. However, the substantial funding it's raised across multiple rounds and a 500% increase inrevenue over three years demonstrates that it has maintained traction in the market as it grows. Its most recent investment is earmarked for growth in major self-care verticals and to fuel AI R&D. To bolster its offering in a competitive marketplace, Boulevard launched Boulevard Capital in 2024, a growth funding platform for businesses that use its booking software.
