Prepare your software switch
You can import a compatible client file exported from your previous software. Our team’s transfer of client records and future appointments is part of the optional Installation Team Madyis service, provided the previous software allows this data to be exported.
Is Installation Team Madyis mandatory?
Installation Team Madyis is optional: €149 once. It covers dashboard setup, banners, services and sub-options, staff pages, and transferring future appointments and client records if the previous software allows their export. A 1-hour training session on the software is included so you understand all its features. You can also set up Madyis yourself.
Questions before choosing
How should I compare the total cost?
Add the subscription, billable team members, extra SMS, options, payment fees and any new-client acquisition fees. Separate one-time and recurring costs and check taxes. A fee on a first visit must not be applied to all turnover in a cost scenario.
What is included in the €49/month plan?
The €49/month incl. VAT plan includes the Manager Dashboard, calendar, CRM, custom desktop and mobile booking website with bookable stories, checkout, online shop and Staff App, with unlimited team members.
What does the optional branded client app include?
Optional branded client app: +€49/month in addition to your Madyis plan. Clients download your salon’s app from the App Store or Google Play to book and receive notifications. The desktop and mobile booking website is already included in the base plan. App setup costs €399 once for both stores: branding, Apple App Store and Google Play listings, visuals and descriptions, and submission of the iOS and Android versions. Madyis hosts your app, with no annual Apple or Google Play fees on top of your Madyis subscription. This fee applies only to the optional client app.
