Facts
How Salongram works
Salongram is a mobile salon booking and management app made by Sumsols Technologies. The salon keeps its schedule, clients, staff, services, waiting list, payments and reports on a phone or tablet, works without internet, and syncs when signed in. This page lists what it does and what it does not do, in plain words.
What Salongram does
- Schedule first
- The home screen is the day's schedule, as an agenda, staff columns or a timeline, for today, tomorrow or any date, with a staff filter and a live current-time line.
- Two-step booking that never blocks
- Pick or create the customer, services, staff, date and time, then confirm. Overlaps, closed hours and untrained staff show a warning, and the booking can still go ahead.
- Appointment lifecycle
- Each appointment moves through confirm, arrived, start, complete and rebook. Cancellations follow the salon's policy with undo, and no-shows are recorded on the customer's history.
- Customer records
- Search customers by name or any phone format, with visit history, preferences and filters.
- Services and packages
- Services with prices and durations, grouped by category, plus packages that bundle several services at the original price, a fixed price or a percentage off.
- Staff and working hours
- Staff with their own working hours, breaks, time off and the services they are trained for.
- Waiting list
- Waiting list entries by time window or flexible date, with priority. When a booking is cancelled, matching entries are shown and one tap turns an entry into a booking.
- Rebooking reminders
- When a repeatable service is completed, a reminder is created for when the customer is due back: book now, prepare a WhatsApp nudge, snooze or dismiss.
- Public booking link and QR code
- Each salon gets a public booking page, reached by link or QR code. Customers pick services, stylist, day and time from real free slots; the booking arrives in the app as a request the salon accepts, changes or declines.
- WhatsApp messages, sent by the salon
- The app prepares confirmation, reminder and rebooking messages that staff can edit, copy or open in WhatsApp. The salon sends them from its own WhatsApp.
- Payments ledger
- Advances and payments are recorded as cash or card, with refunds and outstanding balances, and a quick payment screen for walk-ins.
- Reports and dashboard
- Sales (cash and card, advances, refunds, outstanding), bookings (completion and no-show rates) and staff performance, plus a dashboard with the day at a glance.
- Offline first, with cloud sync
- Everything is stored on the device first and works without internet. With an optional account, data is backed up and synced across the salon's devices.
- Languages and currencies
- The app is available in English, Arabic (right to left) and Spanish, and works in any ISO currency.
- Platforms and price
- Salongram is free to download on Google Play for Android and on the App Store for iPhone.
- Shareable receipts
- Any appointment can be shared as a receipt image laid out like an 80 mm till slip, with the salon logo, services, discount and total.
- Notifications to the salon
- The salon's phone can be notified shortly before each appointment, when waiting-list clients fit a free slot, and when an online booking request arrives.
- Account and sign-in
- An optional account (username and password, or Google) adds backup, sync and the booking page. Fingerprint or face sign-in, password change and account deletion are in the app.
- Guided setup
- A short setup wizard (business, currency, hours, team, services), a getting-started checklist and a spotlight tour. Every step except the business name can be skipped.
What Salongram does not do
- No card processing
- Payments are recorded in the app, not processed. There is no card reader, payment terminal or online payment.
- No automatic WhatsApp or SMS
- The app never sends messages by itself. Staff open each prepared message in WhatsApp and send it.
- Not a marketplace
- Salongram does not list salons in a public directory and has no Fresha, Treatwell or Booksy integration. Customers book through the salon's own link.
- Online bookings are requests
- Bookings from the public page arrive as requests and are confirmed only when the salon accepts them.
- No POS, stock or accounting integration
- There is no point-of-sale hardware, stock control, accounting or tax software integration.
- No payroll or commission
- Staff performance is reported, but the app does not calculate wages or commission.
- No staff logins or roles
- There is one account per salon. Staff are team members with their own hours and services, not separate users with permissions.
- No direct receipt printing
- Receipts are shared as images through the phone; there is no Bluetooth or thermal printer connection.
- Message templates in English
- The prepared WhatsApp messages are written in English today, whatever language the app uses. They can be edited before sending.
- No gift cards, loyalty or memberships
- There are no gift cards, loyalty points, memberships or product sales.
- Day views only, no calendar sync
- The schedule shows one day at a time; there is no week or month grid and no Google Calendar or Outlook sync.
