Yes mostly. For PC we would recommend asking a member of the team to send over our recommended PC spec to make sure that the PC you have is good enough to run salon tracker on. For all other hardware, such as POS, Fingerprint Readers and Signature pads, we would recommend sourcing them from us as we cannot guarantee that other ones will work. If you do have your own hardware a member of a technical team will be more than willing to see if they can get it connected whilst you're on your free trial with us.

If you are on our Enterprise package your Salon Tracker data will automatically backup to your cloud storage.

With our Standard and Professional packages your data is all stored locally to your PC. What we recommend is to have a memory stick or an external hard drive plugged into the PC that can be used to store another backup file. When closing down Salon Tracker there are 2 tick boxes, one to back up to the local PC and one to back up to a removal drive. Make sure both of these are ticked and go green, this means that both backups have been successful.

Yes, we can convert data from most other software companies! For the most part we have done conversions from most other software companies, so it’s just a case of us accessing the data and then converting it over to Salon Tracker on our side. If your data is from software, we haven’t done a conversion from we would just need to take a look at the data initially to determine whether or not we can complete the conversion across to Salon Tracker.

Currently Salon Tracker is a Windows based software, so the only way to run Salon Tracker on a Mac is through the use of Parallels or Bootcamp which allow you to access Windows through the Mac.

Salon Tracker can currently be used on Windows 10 and soon will be available on Windows 11. (Don’t update to Windows 11 yet as there are a few hardware issues that are yet to be resolved on Windows side).

Yes! Doing your Windows updates is very important to make sure Salon Tracker is running as effectively as possible. As long as you’re shutting your PC down every day the PC should automatically do the updates, however it’s still good to check in the Updates section within settings to make sure you have done all the updates.

Yes, Salon Tracker only requires internet once a month to license. We do recommend having internet in the shop so that we can connect to your screen if you require any assistance, but it’s not a necessity.

If you are on our standard or professional package your data is stored locally on your PC. With our enterprise package your data is stored both locally and within the cloud.

If you unplug your printer and plug it back it, this can often create a copy of the printer on your PC. If you go to the admin section on Salon Tracker then to the hardware tab under the printers section you may see multiple copies of the printer in your drop down. To find out which is the active copy, open ‘Printers & Scanners’ in your settings, you should see ‘idle’ next to the one that’s currently active. Set this as the printer in Salon Tracker and you should now be able to print.
