Business Management

ADVANCED POINT OF SALE

Integral to the operation of Gumnut Systems is the built in Point of Sale (POS) system or Cash Register. Following a service or treatment the software takes you straight to the POS screen and already knows what to charge the client and which member of staff to record the service against. At this point the software gives you many options to up-sell to the client by adding retail products, gift vouchers or even confirming their next appointment. We have a number of options available to clients that wish to process credit cards through the software.

The POS system is designed to eliminate mistakes in charging clients however still maintains the flexibility to alter prices should the need arise. But don't worry, this and many other features are security controlled and require a management password to utilise.

GIFT VOUCHERS

Create as many or as few different Gift Voucher types as you would like; the choice is yours! From that point on Gumnut Systems will handle the rest for you.

When the voucher is sold a reference number will be recorded as well as details of the purchase. You can even have the software print the voucher for you to hand straight to the client. The software will then manage the rest of the process for you. Vouchers can be set to be redeemed all at once or can be used like a gift card against a number of items over time. Once the full value of the voucher has been redeemed it can no longer be used unless further funds are added.

STOCK MANAGEMENT

Gumnut Systems is unique in the way it allows you to control Retail stock and Professional stock (the stock you use in your services). All aspects of stock control can be handled easily within the software from stock taking through to purchase orders and processing invoices.

REPORTS AND STATISTICS – THE BOTTOM LINE!

The ultimate power and benefit of any management software is contained in the information provided in its Reports section. This is where you really control your business; not only by obtaining information but through USEFUL and RELEVANT analysis of your whole operation.

With Gumnut Systems, reports can be run over any date range for complete flexibility. Great care has been taken to ensure that the reports are produced in a clear and easy to understand format. Should you wish, you can export all the reports to Microsoft Word or Excel, as a PDF document or send the reports directly to an email address. Using Gumnut Systems unique report generator you can even set your common reports to be produced automatically and either printed out or e-mailed to you wherever you are.

YIELD MANAGEMENT

Wouldn't it be great if you could get more revenue for doing the same thing? With Gumnut Systems you can! The industry leading Yield Management features of Gumnut Systems allow you to charge more for your treatments at your busiest times meaning you get greater revenue for doing the same number of treatments. Then when you are generally quieter you can reduce your prices to encourage more clients to visit you and therefore perform more treatments and services.

Charge your clients by each staff member's qualification level or even create multiple client type accounts and charge different prices for each different one..

EXTREME MARKETING

You need to keep in contact with your clients to let them know about your latest products, offers and events. You already have all your clients contact details in the client system so all you need to do now is to decide who to send the information to! The marketing capabilities within Gumnut Systems are so powerful that we have had to call it Extreme marketing. You simply tell the system what criteria you wish to select your clients by and the software will do the rest. It will even decide the best way to contact people, by letter, by e-mail or by SMS!
