I've had it with Salontouch - Page 2 - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

well I started work on the database. I mentioned before I beleive that the DB in salon touch may not be worked out the best it could be. While it is simple as heck to build a database, getting the relationships perfect and having the database planned out for the future is the biggest concern. If I'm up to it, I might start work on the datalogic layers this week. Once i get that part done, the fun part should begin which is the actual interface. My goal is to have a fully functional interface tweaked out before thinking about implementing any kind of timer support.

Reports will take me a while and I'd need help with some of the serious financials. Things salon touch doesn't do

I have what I think are some great ideas, but I will not share them on here.

I talked to Suntouch last week & was told they have a new version coming out in Oct/Nov this year that will make suntouch obsolete & it is $499. If I wanted to add another computer it would also be $499. Either way, I need to pay a 'transfer of ownership' fee of $50 to get any help from them on tech side. My program drives me crazy.
I have a HELIOS conversion program w/ the toggle key that I never utilized because they are IDIOTS, too. Maybe I need to sell it on here. Sitting in my office collecting dust!!

Sorry, forgot to say it's $499 for the upgrade.

Mike, I'll be one of your test sites!

Kathe · 23rd July 2008, 03:46 PM

Just wanted to update. I talked with Rah in tech support and they are sending me out an upgrade today. So I'm happy with that.

Keep working though Mike! I'm rooting for you!

EliteMike · 23rd July 2008, 06:11 PM

I spent the past 2 nights laying out the database for possible tihngs I know people will want.

Mojave Tan · 23rd July 2008, 08:03 PM

Great plans have awesome outcomes.

I will volunteer for any testing you need -script creation - documentation -etc.

EliteMike · 23rd July 2008, 08:07 PM

I checked out Helios a few nights ago. I must say I was not impressed at all by the way they have things set up. Almost makes salontouch look like gold.

I want functionality over looks, but looks are still important to me.

Where's our salontouch person at anyways?

kpkp · 3rd August 2008, 06:55 PM

ok im so aggrivated!!!! i wanted the software sent to where i got my computer built but salon touch didnt want to send it there and its "really easy to install." Well ive tried installing it, it crashed my computer! then we've removed it and re-installed it it froze it up. did the same thing removed it etc. now its saying the following files are missing and are required and its verifying the files have been attached to the SQL Server ----- its been doin this for over an hour. anyone have this problem just to set the thing up?????

EliteMike · 4th August 2008, 12:08 AM

yep, had the issue many times, not sure how i got around it

irtkid · 4th August 2008, 05:48 PM

Helios is the worst software AND company on the market. Stay away from them for sure. Sunlync is great....it probably does a million things that people are wanting but don't even realize that it's already out there.

Did sunlync come down on thier price?
