How Sweet IT IS
Shortcuts’ new Cloud Reporting feature delivers your business figures to you in easy, efficient ways
to make your salon – and your life – that much better.
Knowledge is power, and the
more you understand about
your business performance,
the more your profits tend
to skyrocket. That’s why
the salon software gurus at Shortcuts have
introduced the all-new, must-have
Cloud Reporting feature. This gorgeous
dashboard in the cloud makes your
business intel easy to understand, putting
sweet success at your fingertips.
Cloud Reporting lets you easily spot the
trends, so you can focus on making your
business more profitable. This feature
lets you view your essential reports from
a tablet or smartphone, anywhere and
anytime, with no number crunching
required. Armed with all the insights and
info you need to succeed, you’ll feel like a
kid in a candy store!
Let’s explore how knowing your
numbers using this brand new tech can
help you create a #sweeterlife.
1. WORK LIFE BALANCE
We’ve put this up top because we believe
it’s that important: sometimes you have
36 INSTYLE
to step away from the salon to truly give
it your all when you’re there. Shortcuts’
Cloud Reporting feature removes the
spreadsheets and calculations from your
daily schedule, freeing up time which you
can now spend on the couch with a welldeserved
wine. Personally, we’d take the
wine over the spreadsheets any day!
2. REAP THE RESULTS
Having the figures and trends presented
to you so succinctly makes your business
plan simple. Downward trends and weak
spots are easy to see, so you know which
areas need the most attention, whether
it’s upselling more product, educating
your team, or updating the service
menu. When your KPIs are this easy to
understand, it makes it so easy to change
up the way you run your salon day-today
and watch the positive impact in
real- time.
3. ALL THE FACTS
Rather than sorting through mountains
of data, the Cloud Reporting dashboard
offers visual charts and graphs that
look good enough to eat, and are easy
to understand: from your service and
retail sales to average spend, rebooking
percentage, trading summary, employee
productivity and so much more.
Delicious!
4. ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM
Your team can securely access the
numbers they need to monitor their own
progress. Sharing the intel around like
a bag of mixed lollies gives your team
something to aim for, and gives you a way
to monitor their performance. They can
access daily stats and key insights on their
mobile phone, helping create a unified
team without everyone having to fight for
a glimpse of the computer.
Cloud Reporting is about so much
more than just the stats, it’s about truly
revolutionising your business success,
and making your life that much sweeter
at the same time. After all, your numbers
are so much tastier when they’re designed
to help you make your business better.
