Look inside

Everything about a customer,
on one page.

Pick a part of it.

Customer page

Know every customer by name.

One page per customer, with their history, packages, notes and messages.

  • Visits, spend and last visit at the top.
  • Packages, punch cards and referral credit on the same page.
  • Custom fields and notes for what your team should know.
  • Messages with that customer, in one place.
What's included

A simple CRM that
fills itself in.

Every booking, invoice and message adds to the customer's page. You don't keep a separate list.

One page per customer

Details, booking history, packages and punch cards, messages and referral credit, all together.

Stages update on their own

Lead, Customer, Lapsed after 90 days, Churned after 180. No tagging by hand.

Customer follow-up software

Each service has a "come back in" time. When a visit is completed, a follow-up is queued for that date.

Clears itself

If the customer rebooks first, their follow-up disappears, so the list only shows people to contact.

Segments

Group customers by recency, number of visits, total spend or whether they have an active package.

Your own custom fields

Store whatever your business needs to know, like hair type, allergies or car model.

Notes everywhere

Notes on the customer and on each booking, so the next person knows what happened.

Where they found you

Record the source (Instagram, Google, walk-in and so on). Flag a customer so they save a card to book, or archive or block them.

Bring your list

Import from CSV or Excel. Columns are matched, duplicates handled, and an error report shows anything that didn't import.

After they book

A booking is only
the beginning.

The customer page fills in as each booking moves along. Here's what else happens on its own.

Questions

About customer management.

Straight answers, including what FreshBookings doesn't do yet.

How do lifecycle stages work?

They update on their own. New contacts start as leads, become customers after a visit, are marked lapsed after 90 days without one, and churned after 180.

Does it send win-back messages automatically?

Not yet. The follow-up list shows exactly who is due or overdue so you can call or text them, and each follow-up clears itself when the customer rebooks.

Can I import my existing customers?

Yes, from CSV or Excel. Columns are mapped automatically, duplicates are handled for you, and an error report shows anything that didn't import.

Can I export my customer data?

Yes. The Customers report, with spend, visits, average spend and last visit, exports to CSV, as do most other reports.

Can I add my own fields?

Yes. Add custom fields to store whatever your business needs to know about a customer. They can also be asked on your booking form.

Can my staff see every customer?

Staff see only their own calendar and customers. Owners and admins see everyone.
