Fast replies, personalised service, and streamlined communication are all part and parcel of a modern client experience. These expectations put pressure on beauty and wellness businesses to deliver consistent results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That pressure shows up in two places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>At the front desk<\/strong>, where messages stack up while your front-of-house team are busy trying to check clients in and answer the phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Between appointments<\/strong>, where there\u2019s rarely time to prep, leaving you scrambling for information right before the client arrives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During these peak moments when your schedule is packed, you and your staff require additional assistance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phorest.com\/au\/blog\/innovation-with-a-human-heart-and-the-future-of-ai-at-phorest\/\">Phorest AI<\/a> is designed to provide that vital support during your busiest hours, all while preserving the essential human connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve built our AI tools in collaboration with our clients, with a primary focus on <strong>supporting your team, not replacing them.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Client expectations are rapidly changing<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getweave.com\/how-quickly-do-customers-expect-a-response\/\">A recent study<\/a> showed that <strong>82%<\/strong> of consumers consider an \u201cimmediate response\u201d (within 10 minutes) to be important\/very important when communicating with a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying this to a modern salon, spa, or clinic means your front desk staff are under pressure to answer incoming client messages promptly. Additionally, <strong>47%<\/strong> of salon, spa, and clinic bookings happen outside business hours, having increased from 30%. But your team shouldn\u2019t be glued to the inbox all day; what your business really needs is a way to handle repetitive inquiries that take up valuable time and to ensure your clients feel cared for.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consistent, fast responses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Front Desk AI<\/strong>, also known as <strong>Ivy<\/strong>, is designed to seamlessly maintain the flow of your day without causing interruptions. Ivy automatically handles common client queries, such as <em>&#8220;Where can I park?&#8221; <\/em>or <em>&#8220;What is included in the Deluxe package?&#8221;<\/em> Furthermore, Ivy directly manages client rescheduling requests (e.g., <em>&#8220;Can I change my 10 am appointment to 2 pm?&#8221;<\/em>). In these cases, Ivy instantly checks availability, suggests an alternative time, and confirms the new appointment in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Front Desk AI is designed exactly to alleviate the pressure on your team, and the results speak for themselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ivy successfully resolves up to<strong> 89% of client conversations<\/strong> end-to-end without needing human intervention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>25%<\/strong> of conversations happen <strong>outside business hours<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(internal Phorest data)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trust and control, built in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand the scepticism around AI, and that any business owner might be cautious about handing over client communications to Ivy. However, our belief is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phorest.com\/au\/blog\/the-ethical-edge-demystifying-ai-in-the-beauty-and-wellness-industry\/\">AI should enhance the client connection<\/a>, not reduce it. This is why Front Desk AI is built with trust and control in mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Front Desk AI is designed to <strong>support your team, not replace them<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It detects nuance and <strong>hands over to a human<\/strong> when frustration is detected or a more personal touch is needed. Conversations are handed over with context, so your team can <strong>instantly pick up where the conversation left off<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can <strong>switch Ivy on or off at any time<\/strong>, so you stay in control at all times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does this look like on a busy day?
