Douglas J Aveda Institutes and Salons Chooses Zenoti to Replace All Software Vendors and Improve Accessibility of Data
Mercer Island, WA (PRWEB) May 31, 2016 -- Zenoti, a leading business management software used by salons, spas and med spas globally, today announced that Douglas J, a highly successful and reputable salon chain, has chosen Zenoti to replace its current technology solutions. Douglas J will use Zenoti to manage its three salon locations and six Douglas J Aveda training institutes.
“When it came to selecting a software solution, having a comprehensive and integrated system was critical. We needed to improve operational efficiencies and improve the quality and accessibility of information to support decision making and planning. Zenoti was the only system that completely met our functional and data migration requirements. “, said Brent Branch, Director of Information Technology at Douglas J.
Prior to Zenoti, Douglas J used multiple software vendors including a scheduling and POS system, a gift card management system and marketing system. The systems integrated loosely with each other, causing redundant data entry, storage, and paper processing. With Zenoti, Douglas J will improve operational effectiveness and productivity while reducing costs related to maintaining multiple systems.
Zenoti also enhances a variety of back-office functionality, eliminates paper-based workflow processes and forms, and provides the Douglas J team with standardized reporting as well as ad-hoc reporting capabilities.
“Douglas J needed to modernize their existing system and Zenoti proved to be a great fit with our multi-location aware functionality that supports each salon and institute as well as corporate level goals. We’re delighted that Douglas J, who has such a business savvy team, chose Zenoti as their technology partner.” said Sudheer Koneru, Founder & CEO of Zenoti.
