The Guild of Beauty Therapists is the UK trade body for the professional beauty industry, with around 15,000 members in the UK and across the world.
The Guild required a salon appointment and booking service as a web based and mobile app for Guild members and non-members, as well as consumers. The initial service was to have two levels – a free level for Guild members and a chargeable level for non-members.
The client required a beauty services management application, where beauty related businesses could create accounts and book appointments for their clients while also keeping track of their existing clients, adding new ones, managing team members, and treatment lists. Depending on their subscription level, businesses would have access to mini websites to promote their services. Different subscription levels would come with different amenities, and pricing would differ for existing Beauty Guild members and non-members. The system would additionally feature automated SMS and email messaging capabilities, with the option to create bespoke marketing messages tailored to each business's needs.
