Salon: The Next BIG Thing

Shortcuts have just released the latest instalment of their award winning software. Introducing… Salon 2004! The revolutionary new product indulges clients, adding new and exciting features to the 2003se version to remain at the forefront of salon management technology. In addition to the new release, Shortcuts have renovated their product structure to tie into their continued focus on the salon and spa industry.

CAPABILITIES
Making an appointment through Shortcuts is now made even easier with the Capabilities feature. Assign capabilities to employees and configure services to require any combination of capabilities. Now the appointment maker doesn’t need to know each employees’ capabilities, avoiding slip ups like booking a stylist in to give a client a facial!

AVAILABILITY ASSISTANT
Ideal for the hectic salon, the Availabilities Assistant is the most efficient way to search for the next available appointment slot. Based on your search requirements i.e. time and employee, this feature will highlight the available times as you flick through the appointment book. Make double bookings a thing of the past.

EMAILING STOCK ORDERS
Shortcuts have made replenishing your stock even easier! If you have an email address set up for a supplier in the Supplier Details window, you can automatically email your supplier whenever you need to place an order, saving you time and hassle.

HISTORY VISIT NOTES & DETAILS
Now you can keep a closer eye on your professional stock levels as the new History Notes and Visit Details feature allows you to record the quantity of each professional product used for services for each client. This is a more standardised way of entering client visit notes with results accessed and evaluated from reports.

CASH MOVEMENTS
Shortcuts keeps an eye on the till as all cash movements are recorded for balancing, linked to the end of day feature developing a complete audit trail.

TRUE TOUCH ENVIRONMENT
Throw away the keyboard as Shortcuts has incorporated a new on-screen keyboard creating a true touch screen environment!

NEW LOOK ICONS
In these days of botox and plastic surgery, Shortcuts has been given its own face lift! Icons, menus and the screen theme have all been updated for a fresh new look.
