The Challenge
Tina is the managing director at Acapello Salons, a multi-location salon with 30+ employees. For years now, Tina's had to remind her staff to sweep their stations, clean out the fridge, dust the product shelves, place the product orders...you get the idea.
It's 2025, and she's looking for a way to automate these task reminders so she can focus on higher priorities.
The Result
Tina never has to verbally remind her team what to do or when to do it. Salon Symphony automatically sends a reminder (via push notification) to the assignee at 9:00 AM on the task due date. Plus, Tina is notified via the Activity Feed on her dashboard each time the status of a task is updated.
