Chain overview
The owner sees today's sales for each branch, the busiest services, chair use and a short list of things that need attention, such as low stock.
Glowledger is a salon chain ERP designed and built by our team. The owner sees all branches in one place, tracks product stock, works out staff commission and pay, and sells memberships that work at every branch.
Glowledger was designed and built by the PRS CloudTech team.
The brief
A salon with one shop can run on a notebook and a billing machine. A chain cannot. Each branch keeps its own stock sheet, its own stylist list and its own idea of a discount.
The owner learns about a stock-out when a customer is turned away. Pay day takes two days of counting bills. A customer who bought a package at one branch is told it does not work at another.
One view of all branches
Sales, bookings and busy hours should be on one screen, not in six phone calls.
Stock that follows services
Colour, wax and masks run out fast. The count should fall when a service is billed.
Fair, clear pay
Stylists want to see how salary, commission and tips add up to their pay.
Memberships anywhere
A package or plan should work at every branch with one balance.
What we designed
Glowledger is one web system with a screen for each daily job.
The owner sees today's sales for each branch, the busiest services, chair use and a short list of things that need attention, such as low stock.
Each branch bills services and products on the same system. Stylists, offers and taxes are set once for the chain and can be changed for one branch when needed.
Every product shows its count at every branch, how much is used in a week and a status. The system suggests moving stock between branches before buying more.
Salary, commission slabs, advances and tips are worked out each month. The manager checks one table and approves pay for the whole chain.
Plans such as a monthly club or a ten-session pack are sold at any branch. The balance, the valid-till date and the staff who did each visit are kept in one record.
The owner can download a day report, compare branches and see which services and stylists bring in the most.
Screens
How it works
Here is how the main tasks work in Glowledger, from the morning check to pay day.
Check the chain
The owner opens one page in the morning, sees yesterday's sales for each branch and the stock that is low.
Refill stock
The manager sees that Whitefield has extra colour, moves four tubes to Indiranagar and raises one purchase order for the rest.
Pay the team
At month end the accounts team opens the pay table, checks the slabs and approves pay for all branches at once.
Sell a membership
The front desk sells a package at one branch. The customer uses it at another branch the next week with the right balance.

FAQ
It is software that runs the business side of a salon: billing, stock, staff pay, memberships and reports. A chain version shows all branches in one place.
Most chains start with billing, stock by branch and staff pay, because those three take the most time by hand. Memberships, reports and a stylist app can follow in a second phase.
Yes. We can build it as a web app, add a mobile app for stylists or for customers if you want one, and connect your billing printer and payment gateway.
Each service can use a set amount of a product. When the bill is made, stock for that branch goes down by that amount, so the shelf count stays close to real.
Yes. Rules can be set in slabs by sales, by service type or by person. The pay screen shows how each amount was worked out.
