Shore

Shore is a booking and business software from Shore GmbH in Munich, Germany, built for service businesses such as hair salons, beauty studios, spas and fitness centres. The company was founded in 2012 and was later acquired by the Swedish web services group group.one. Its website describes the product as a booking system with customer management and marketing, and it can also manage a customer's website or build an own app.

Features

• Online calendar for appointments, staff and resources
• Online booking for customers and customer management
• Automated marketing: target customer groups, send birthday wishes, collect feedback, with Google Tag Manager and WhatsApp integration
• Website and app services on request

Fit

Shore is strongest for salons and other appointment-based service businesses. It is less suited to meeting scheduling between colleagues or to group polls, where tools such as Doodle or meetergo fit better. The public website does not list prices, so the provider has to be asked for a quote.
