What the agent takes off your hands
Books with the right barber
Sees free slots in Altegio or DIKIDI and books straight away: regulars with their own barber, new clients with whoever is free first. No journal yet? Schedules live in the built-in Solwees CRM.
Answers prices and services
Quotes your price list: haircut, fade, beard, kids’ cut, grey blending. Says how long the visit will take.
Reminds and reschedules
Sends a reminder a day and a couple of hours before the visit. If a client can’t make it, it offers another time at once, so the chair doesn’t sit empty.
Hands the tricky ones to you
If a client is unhappy with a cut or asks for a discount, the agent does not argue and promises nothing itself. It hands the conversation to your front desk, who see at once what it was about.
Kant: local context
A town 20 km from Bishkek, effectively part of the capital area.
Many people work in Bishkek and book for the weekend.
Bishkek is half an hour away, and many live here and work in the capital.
At weekends locals look for services close to home rather than driving into the city.
In Kant people try to book Saturday ahead, on Friday evening, while the barbers still have free time. The agent answers these messages at once and books without leaving them until morning.
