Thanks, I’ll be there!
See you! If you’re running late, message here and I’ll let the barber know.

What the agent takes off your hands
Books with the right barber
Sees in the journal which barber a regular goes to and offers a time with him, and for a new client finds whoever is free first. The booking appears in Altegio or DIKIDI right away, or in the built-in Solwees CRM if you have no journal.
Answers prices and services
Explains how a fade differs from a regular cut, what a beard trim costs and whether you cut kids’ hair. Prices come only from your price list.
Reminds and reschedules
Sends a reminder the day before and on the morning of the visit. If a client’s plans change, the agent moves the booking, and the freed time can go to someone else.
Hands the tricky ones to you
Complaints, a groom and his friends before a toi, and anything the owner decides go to your front desk with a short summary of the chat.
Nookat: local context
A town of Osh Region among orchards and fields, an hour from Osh.
People are used to settling things in messengers, the same way many families keep in touch with relatives working far from home.
In Nookat men often come in with their sons and ask for back-to-back times so nobody waits. The agent sees the schedule and books them one after another with one barber, or at the same time with two.

Frequently asked questions
Does the agent answer in Kyrgyz?
Yes. It replies in the language the client wrote in: Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Russian or English. The language can change within one chat.
Where do bookings live?
If your journal is in Altegio or DIKIDI, the agent puts bookings straight into it and checks the barbers’ schedules there. Your client base can live in Bitrix24, and if you use none of these, the built-in Solwees CRM will do.
What if a client wants to walk in without booking?
The agent follows your rules: if you take walk-ins, it says so. It also offers the nearest free slot right away, so the client does not have to queue.
What if a client asks something the agent does not know?
The agent answers only from your prices, services and rules. If the answer is not there, it tells the client it will check with the front desk and passes the question on together with the chat.
Does it make sense for a small team?
Yes. In Nookat a business is often one or two people who serve customers and answer chats at the same time. The agent takes the chats over so you can keep working.
