SoftBooking has been developed for the salon industry being both simple to use and truly comprehensive.

Developed early in 2005 following several enquiries to our parent company CA Software Systems, for bespoke salon software; SoftBooking was designed in a salon environment with extensive input and insight from salon managers, owners and staff and has been running live in numerous salons for over six months and has been thoroughly beta tested for over nine.

Demand for the SoftBooking has genuinely unearthed a lack of software equipped to deal with the highly demanding and individual salon industry.
