Beauty and cosmetics retail software: every feature, in one list
Everything iVendNext does for a beauty and cosmetics chain, grouped by the jobs your stores do every day: members and loyalty, dated stock, offers, returns, advisors, the web shop and head office.
Members who come back
Your plans, your tiers and your cash back, kept in your own iVendNext.
- Customer-owned loyaltyYour own plans, tiers and cash back. Members, plans and cash back are kept in your iVendNext.
- Members move upNew customers join your first plan; each day a member moves to the plan their spend reaches.
- Cash back held for returnsA sale earns cash back on what was bought, held for your return window and then credited. A return takes back its share.
- Member groups and discountsEach plan is a customer group, so it can carry its own member discount as a promotion. Past purchases sit on each customer's record.
- The Member keyOne key on the till shows the customer's plan, their cash back and what reaches the next plan.
- Customer code checkA code texted by your own SMS gateway to the member's phone before their account is used at the till. Three wrong codes end the check.
- iVendNext LoyaltyPoints earned on purchases or visits, by rules you set per store, and spent at the till, with the balance shown during the sale.
- Gift card on spendA big spend earns the customer your own gift card, to spend on a later visit.
Sell every lot in date
From receiving to the sale, lot by lot.
- Lots and expiry datesEach lot carries its expiry date from receiving to the sale.
- The lot that expires firstAt the till, the lot that expires first is offered first.
- Expired lots kept off the tillAn expired lot is not offered at the online till.
- Expiry markdownUp to two markdown steps on each product group. One press a day gives each lot inside a step its own lower price, and the till rings it.
- Unit codes at the scanSell a single pack by its own printed code. A unit marked sold is refused at the till.
- Stock by storeEvery lot's stock in every store and warehouse, and transfers between them.
Offers that hold their rules
The season's offers, the same at every till that runs them.
- PromotionsBuy one get one, a fixed price for a set, a discount on the whole sale, and coupons.
- Offers by date and storeThe same offers at every till that runs them, set by date and store.
- Coupon rulesA welcome coupon for a first purchase only, or a coupon only for your members' group, checked at Pay.
- What goes with itProducts that go together, such as a cleanser with a serum, suggested at the till when one is scanned.
- Gift setsA set up as one product in the back office, with stock taken off each piece when it sells.
- Price listsPrice lists by store or customer group.
Clear rules for what can come back

Every advisor and store in view
Credit the advisor, and stay in touch after the visit.
