The salon and spa sector has grown significantly in the last few years. Compared to other company sectors, it stands out as a profitable venture due to its pure profitability and low risk. In order to thrive in this sector, entrepreneurs must be abreast of emerging technologies and consumer preferences. Clients of today search for more than simply services; they also look for well-run salons and the manner in which they are handled.
Your company will be managed by your customers, so it is the responsibility of every business owner to act in their customers' best interests!
As of 2023, reports place the value of the global salon services market at US$ 233.8 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.46%. Because of technical advancements such as the beauty industry's adoption of ERP and rising demand for beauty care goods, the market is expected to reach US$ 480 billion by 2033.
Let’s dig-in how Odoo ERP can help the Salon and Spa Businesses:
1. Appointment and Calendar Management
Odoo has a feature-rich scheduling module that makes it easy for salons to effectively handle appointments.
Customers can schedule appointments online, staff availability is tracked, and automatic reminders are sent out to lower the number of no-shows. By giving a comprehensive picture of employee schedules, the calendar management tool ensures efficient resource allocation and reduces conflict.
2. Chair Booking and Allocation
The dashboard provides a comprehensive view of all bookings, sales orders, recent work, and salon clients. Services can be booked in two ways: either through direct booking or online booking. The dashboard offers detailed insights into each chair, including its availability, current orders, and total daily earnings. Active orders for each chair are also displayed. By clicking on a chair, users can directly view its active orders. To adjust the settings of a chair, simply click on the settings icon located above the chair.
CRM modules can be used by the teams to manage or track the customer appointments and invoicing process.
3. Staff / Beautician Configuration & Commission Management
Automatic Allocation: Taking into account staff availability and expertise level, the system may automatically allocate a stylist or technician based on the service and chair that have been chosen.
Customer Choice: Alternatively, clients have complete control over their reservation by choosing both the chair and their favorite stylist.
Control Employee/Beautician Commission by Section Method: The commission is paid out in accordance with the amount of money the employee or beautician brings in. The chosen part and the proportion allotted to it will be used to determine the commission %.
Fixed Percentage Method: A fixed percentage-type commission may be specified and designated for the employee/beautician; the commission is then computed automatically for that individual employee/beautician based on that fixed percentage.
4. Membership Management and Renewals
To manage various membership kinds, including their durations, fees, and rewards, use the integrated Odoo Membership module. With the use of this module, you can create different membership tiers (such as Bronze, Silver, and Gold) and associate them with particular advantages or savings.
Custom Membership Plans: Create membership plans that are specific to your company's operations. You may, for instance, provide different benefit packages on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
Set up automated email or SMS reminders for members to receive a reminder when their membership is about to expire. You can set up these reminders to go out at predetermined intervals (such as 30 days, 7 days, or 1 day before they expire).
Option for Auto-Renewal: Provide a mechanism for clients to opt-in to have their memberships renewed automatically. This can be configured at the time of the first purchase.
Subscription Management: To handle recurring memberships, use Odoo's subscription module. It is now simpler to manage memberships with recurring payments thanks to this module's ability to automate invoicing and renewals.
5. Point of Sale (POS) Integration
Online Payments: Include payment gateways in your system so that clients can make payments online while making reservations. This could apply to deposits, full payments, or partial payments.
In-Store Payments: When a customer comes to the salon, just check them in and process their payment by connecting the booking system to your point of sale system.
6. Revenue Analytics
For in-depth data analysis, this module provides a variety of crucial reports, such as business intelligence and PDF reports.
Analysis of sales can be done every day, every week, every month, or every year.
Revenue Analysis: The module provides a thorough examination of the company's revenue, with daily, weekly, monthly, and annual breakdowns available.
Employee/Beautician Analysis: Commissions received throughout daily, weekly, monthly, and annual periods can be used to get insights into the performance of employees or beauticians.
7. Automated Marketing
Promotional Campaigns: Send targeted campaigns to members, such as exclusive offers for membership renewals or upgrades to a higher tier, by utilizing Odoo's marketing automation tools.
Send members tailored offers that are based on their past membership activity to entice them to upgrade or renew.
8. Inventory and Stock Management
Make a catalog of every product used in the salon, such as towels, gloves, skincare, makeup, and hair care items. A product's SKU, description, price, and cost should all be included.
To make sure you always have the appropriate products in store, keep an eye on your inventory levels in real time. Odoo automatically adjusts stock levels based on the sale or use of products during salon services.
Define minimum quantities of each product in stock. When inventory drops below a predetermined level, Odoo can initiate reorder procedures or send out automated notifications.
Batch and expiry management: Handle products in batches, particularly if they are perishable goods like chemicals or cosmetics. Using the FIFO strategy, Odoo can monitor batch numbers and assist in making sure that older goods are used first.
Keep an eye on product expiration dates and get notifications when things are about to expire. By doing this, waste is reduced and clients are treated with only fresh products.
In conclusion, use Odoo to revolutionize your salon and spa operations.
