Premier is helping students at the University
of Derby, Buxton, UK, to learn about running a
spa, thanks to the installation of its College by
Premier product for hair and beauty courses.
College by Premier is a management software
solution that’s has been created with
the help of several colleges.
The system
enables lecturers of multiple campuses to
centrally manage class timetables and run
on-site commercial spa facilities – it includes
full point of sale and stock control functionality.
There’s also a membership system for
managing on-site fitness.
Meanwhile, Premier has launched an app
for Apple and Android devices to allow customers
to book appointments online from
their mobile phones and tablets.
The app can
be branded to suit a spa. Spas will be able to
send out push notifications to their clients
including special offers in a later version;
and Premier is also developing tools so operators
can interact with, and send targeted
marketing to, clients through social media.
In addition, Premier is working on an app
which incorporates a customisable dashboard
showing key performance indicators
for the spa business such as no-shows, revenue
per hour, retail sales, current availability
and staff performance
