Solaryx compared to other salon software
Most salon software was written for hairdressers and beauty salons, then stretched to fit everything else. Solaryx was written for tanning salons in Belgium, and it drives the beds. Here is the honest comparison, criterion by criterion.
Pick a comparison
The tools Belgian salons ask us about most often.
How we compare
A comparison written by a vendor is worth exactly as much as its method, so here is ours.
The same criteria for everyone
Every head-to-head runs the same eighteen criteria, in the same order. No cherry-picked list built to make one product look good.
Public information, with a date
We compare on what each vendor publishes about its own product, and every table says when it was last checked. Offers move: check the current details with them before you decide.
We say where they are better
Each page has a section on what the other product does better than us, and one criterion in the table is a plain no for Solaryx. If a competitor fits your salon better, you should know it here rather than after signing.
Where Solaryx is the better choice
Four things a salon software written for hairdressers cannot do for a solarium.
The beds are part of the software
Relay boxes installed in your salon start each bed, run exactly the time that was sold, then ventilate. No member of staff watches a clock, no free minutes are given away, and a session can never run longer than what the customer paid for and the law allows.
Belgian compliance is built in, not a checklist
Phototype assessment, the signed customer declaration, the minimum interval between two sessions and eID reading all happen at the counter, automatically. When the rules change, we build the change into the product and it reaches you through the included updates.
One system instead of three
Booking, point of sale, products and stock, loyalty, staff planning and reporting run in a single tool, on a single customer file, across every one of your sites. Nothing to reconcile at the end of the day between an agenda, a till and a spreadsheet.
A Belgian price from a Belgian team
A fixed subscription per salon, no commission on your bookings and no cut on your new customers. Invoicing, VAT and accounting exports follow Belgian rules, and support answers in French, Dutch, German or English.
