THE PROBLEM

The operational bottleneck.

Regular clients quietly slip away because life gets busy and they forget to rebook. Tracking down lapsed clients is tedious spreadsheet work that staff rarely have time for.

WHAT CHANGES

Material change in your daily operation.

BEFORE

Regular clients quietly slip away because life gets busy and they forget to rebook. Tracking down lapsed clients is tedious spreadsheet work that staff rarely have time for.

AFTER

TECHNICAL NOTES & FAQ

Implementation details, operational constraints, and practical questions.

Can we control the discount or offer?+

Yes. You set the rules for the offer, or choose to send a simple check-in message without any discount.

Will it email people who recently booked?+

Never. The system cross-checks your live calendar daily and excludes anyone with an upcoming appointment.
