This month sees the launch of the latest version of Salongenius software. The focus for this version is to offer salons even more tools to increase client retention and maximise revenues.Although Salongenius believes that point of sale operations should stay firmly within the salon, as opposed to transferring it to the ‘Cloud’, SalongeniusVersion 15 will enable certain aspects of the management software, such as gift vouchers and loyalty schemes, to be controlled through cloud technology. Meanwhile, further improvements have been made to the software’s Real Time Online Booking facility, along with its links to SocialMedia Sites and available apps.
