Customer Support / Idle

Idle

Salon and spa software with AI built in. A WhatsApp agent answers enquiries and books, reschedules and follows up around the clock, and the system handles deposits, checkout and POS, staff commission, rooms, inventory, payroll and loyalty in one place. Built after the founders visited some 200 salons, so it handles the messy parts like commission rules.
