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 expected to reach a market size in excess of $215 billion by 2026. Traditionally, appointment-based businesses are heavily reliant on paperwork and receptionists, but Boulevard is looking to modernise the industry by helping drive efficiencies, profit, and better customer experience.
Boulevard is one in a sea of companies offering software to digitizing appointment-based businesses. However, the substantial funding it has raised across multiple rounds demonstrates that it has maintained traction in the market as it grows, with investment cited to go towards hiring talent and building more tools to reach a wider set of users. 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.
