  1. Step 1

    Start the trial

    30 days free – your current software keeps running in the meantime.

  2. Step 2

    Export your data

    Client list and, if offered, appointments as CSV or Excel.

  3. Step 3

    Import your data

    The Concierge maps the columns, you check the preview.

Data transfer

Your clients come with you

One export is enough: the Concierge recognises clients, services with categories, appointments and team. Stock items are imported from their own file.

  • CSV, XLS, XLSX
  • Preview before importing
  • Duplicates are detected
Made for Switzerland

Swiss software for Swiss studios

Developed and operated in Switzerland. Your data is stored on servers in Switzerland, and Mapresto knows the Swiss way of doing things – from VAT to the QR-bill.

Till with TWINT

TWINT without an extra device

The till shows a QR code. The client opens it with her phone camera – not in the TWINT or banking app – and pays via Stripe with TWINT or card.

from Single Studio Plus
  • VAT with export for your accountant
  • Stock and product sales
  • Receipt by e-mail
Your own booking page

A link that belongs to you

Your clients book via your personal link – with no other studios next to you. New appointments appear in your calendar straight away.

  • No marketplace
  • Direct link to single services
  • Booking in four languages
Reminders and Concierge

Fewer calls, fewer no-shows

Reminders go by WhatsApp first, otherwise by SMS. When the client replies, the Concierge answers questions about the appointment and only reschedules after she confirms.

  • Concierge from Plus
