Our take
Annually, significant financial losses plague salons and health spas due to both no-show appointments and sluggish periods. Addressing this predicament head-on, Phorest emerges as the solution, providing salon proprietors with user-friendly marketing software.
Phorest's software allows salons to dispatch appointment reminders and promotional details to their clientele. This seemingly uncomplicated remedy remarkably curtails no-show deficits by an impressive 70% - an extremely valuable offering.
From its inception, Phorest has consistently evolved and broadened its platform, adding features for staffing management, inventory control and strategic marketing. It has also secured funding which has enabled it to confidently vie with international contenders like Zenoti and Booker on the global stage.
