Our AI already understands the specifics of your industry and customizes the system to fit your processes.
Imagine that when performing a base coat strengthening or complex nail extension, you no longer need to manually count used consumables. When a technician closes a visit for a dry manicure, the tech card instantly deducts a 100/180 grit file, disinfectant, and the necessary amount of color polish from inventory. This allows the studio owner to see the real cost of a French manicure or chrome powder without lengthy inventory counts. You'll know exactly how many clients a bottle of primer will last, and you can order new materials on time, avoiding any downtime.
No-shows in the nail industry run 15-20%. Each missed appointment is 2-3 hours of wasted technician time and lost revenue that can't be recovered.
Polishes, gels, tips, drill bits — dozens of items. Without systematic tracking, you don't know the true cost per service or when to reorder.
In the nail business, with an average ticket of 700 UAH, every extra drop of base coat or unaccounted-for nail repair significantly reduces the owner's net profit. When accounting is done 'by eye,' a studio often faces situations where a bottle of expensive gel polish runs out sooner than expected, and technicians use consumables without any control. This creates a financial hole that is difficult to track without a clear link between materials and each performed procedure.
Implementing detailed tech cards allows you to standardize every stage of work. For example, for a nail extension service, you can clearly specify the amount of gel, the use of forms, and even the depreciation incurred by the e-file for removal. This not only disciplines staff but also allows for an accurate calculation of the cost of every minute of work. You can finally objectively assess whether it's profitable to offer complex nail designs at the current price, or if you need to urgently revise your price list.
This becomes especially critical with high traffic, when one station handles up to 96 visits per week. Automation of deductions completely eliminates the human factor: the technician doesn't need to record expenses in a notebook, and the administrator doesn't have to conduct painful inventories every evening. When every material movement is recorded at the moment an order is closed, you get a transparent business picture where every milliliter of polish works for your profit.
Three day-to-day moments where the difference is obvious.
