Between the back-to-back appointments, the “Can I just check?” questions from your team, and the texts from clients wondering if their appointment is actually at 3:15 or 3:30… It’s a wonder you’ve got time to drink your coffee while it’s still hot.
This blog is part of the 2025 August Collection, and today, we want to give you shortcuts to working smarter, not harder. At Phorest, we understand that you don’t want to add more to your plate. Instead, we want to help you clear the clutter, trim the admin, and give you back the breathing space to focus on what you do best – delighting clients.
With Phorest as your partner behind the scenes, your days run faster, smoother, and far more profitably. Ready to swap the chaos for calm, and the busywork for business growth?
The Cost of Clunky Systems
Every minute you spend waiting for a screen to load, flicking between five different platforms, or manually dragging bookings one by one – that’s a minute you’re not earning or upselling.
According to industry research, beauty and wellness businesses lose an average of five hours a week to inefficient processes. That’s over 250 hours a year (more than six working weeks) spent on admin that could be automated. At Phorest, we know that operational hiccups don’t just waste time; they also cost you loyalty. 50% of clients who face rescheduling issues or inconsistent service even just once are more likely to switch to a competitor.
Your software should make your life easier, not add to your to-do list. Plus, upgrading doesn’t have to mean a scary, from-scratch overhaul. With the right tools, you can keep the way you work… while making it faster, smoother, and much more profitable.
Your Appointment Screen, But Make It Smarter
Running a busy salon, spa, or clinic means your time is too valuable to waste wrestling with clunky systems. That’s why Phorest 10 is designed to move as fast as you do. Whether you’re managing one location or ten, you can open Phorest directly in your browser, keep it pinned in multiple tabs, and jump between appointments without breaking stride.
Your team benefits, too. Staff filtering means less noise and more focus, while setting multi-staff breaks and drag-and-drop rescheduling make diary management painless. No more fumbling through endless clicks just to move a meeting or confirm availability. Now, instead, your day flows the way it should.
Even client care is smoother. Imagine skipping back-and-forth by instantly emailing clients their full list of upcoming appointments, or hopping through your calendar weeks ahead… in seconds. That’s less time juggling admin, and more time delivering the experience your clients actually come to you for.
Your Brand in Phorest
Because first impressions matter, Phorest 10 now gives you more ways to put your brand front and centre. Upload your own salon, spa, or clinic logo to replace the Phorest “P” at the top of your sidebar, and add your brand colours to frame your appointment screen in a sleek gradient. It’s a subtle detail, but one that transforms everyday admin into something that feels distinctly, recognisably yours.
Smarter Prep, Smoother Service
A consultation is your chance to set the tone for the entire client journey… and with Phorest’s updated Consultation Forms, that first impression is smoother (and undeniably premium).
Now, you can brand your forms with your own logo, capturing the polished professionalism your clients already associate with your business. Add staff signatures for that extra layer of accountability, assign multiple forms to a single service when it needs more detail, and even include an image upload field. Together, these updates mean your team collects the right information the first time, every time.
Clients notice the difference, too. Instead of piles of paper or rushed questions at the chair, they’re welcomed with a streamlined, modern experience that feels both personal and professional. It’s simple – less admin for you, and more confidence for them. That’s what smoother days are made of.
The Ripple Effect – How Time Saving Increases Profit
Every minute saved behind the desk is a minute you can spend in the chair, in the treatment room, or with your team. Those minutes add up to something bigger: profit.
When admin tasks are streamlined, owners and managers unlock more time for the work that actually grows revenue, like upselling treatment packages or running promotions. Research shows that increasing client retention by just 5% can boost profits by anywhere from 25% to 95%. That’s because loyal clients spend more, book more frequently, and become your biggest advocates.
Time-saving also means smoother days for staff. Less frustration with clunky systems leads to happier teams… and happier teams deliver a better client experience, which circles right back to retention and revenue growth.
At Phorest, our goal is simple: free up your time from the tasks that drain it, so you can focus on the work that excites you, inspires your team, and keeps clients coming back.
The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
Think of Phorest10 as the quiet partner in your business. It’s there when you need it, making the complex feel simple, and giving you back the calm in your day. Here’s what that could look like in practice:
- The Multi-Site Manager: Instead of juggling endless logins and screens, you’ll switch between locations with a click.
- The Wedding Party Shuffle: A bridal group’s plans change (because they always do). With P10, rescheduling an entire series of bookings is no more stressful than dragging and dropping.
- The Thoughtful Touch: A client calls to confirm their future bookings… except, you’re already one step ahead. You’ve emailed their full appointment list before they even hang up. It’s professional, personal (not to mention, quietly impressive).
This is what smoother days look like.
Taking Steps Toward Smoother Days
We wanted to take what you already know, and make it faster, sleeker, and far more flexible… so moving to Phorest0 is simple. You’ll log in with the same details, and see the same familiar screens – only now, they load quicker, respond smarter, and bend to the way you actually work.
P10 runs straight from your browser (or the desktop app). Plus, you can access your system from anywhere, whether you’re managing multiple sites, tweaking tomorrow’s schedule from home, or jumping between appointment screens in just a few clicks.
The best part? Your team won’t miss a beat. Productivity goes up, admin stress goes down, and client service carries on seamlessly. It’s the Phorest you love… only smoother.
The Finish Line is Simpler, Smarter, Smoother
Running a busy salon, spa, or clinic will always come with its share of moving parts, but your software shouldn’t be one of them. With Phorest 10 and the latest updates in the August 2025 Collection, you get a system designed to save time, reduce admin noise, and free your team to create exceptional client experiences.
