Hi i am looking into getting a software program.. and I have heard mixed revues for Helios,Tan Track and Envision.. Can anyone help me with this.. I am in Canada..

Alan @ TanToday · 14th August 2005, 12:43 PM

We use Sun Touch and its done a great job for us - 5 years without a problem.

Now that I post this it will probably fry up tomorrow morning.

Thanks Alan .. your too funny.. we went w/tan track.. and so far no problems..

Knock on wood..

It doesn't matter what software you choose. They all have their issures and problems. Most likely because the tanning industry will not command some bigger, stronger company to write really good software.

I personally have used Salontouch for 5 years and have had my share of problems. But...gotta have it. I don't think anything else would be much better. It sometimes really comes down to how computer savy you are.

If any of you have any suggestions on how to make tanning software better please let me know. I am the new Marketing Director at SalonTouch and would love to hear any input you have.

Sunlync is the best. If you have one salon you might as well stick with Helios .

We had helios for about 5 years and had tons of problems with it, then switched to SunTouch - now SunTouch Plus and have had very few problems. I am glad we made the move. It's been almost 7 years with SunTouch in 3 salons. Kathe

Does the Salontouch use a "cancel button" as a "back button" on the same page with the "save button" ? LOL!

(as the older versions of Suntouch do)

However, we use Suntouch ourselves!!
