Keeps
What umbo runs itself.
01Diary
Every booking in one calendar, whoever took it.
- A public booking page your customers use themselves.
- Walk-ins added in a tap, deposits taken where you want them.
- Reminders go out on their own, so fewer chairs sit empty.
02Customers
umbo remembers every customer the way your best member of staff does.
- What they have had done and bought with you, visit by visit.
- When they last came in, and when they are due back.
- Their loyalty stamps and the rewards they have earned.
- What they have agreed to hear from you, recorded and kept.
03Email
The messages a good business sends, sent for you.
- Booking confirmations and reminders.
- A nudge when a regular has not been in for a while.
- A birthday message, if you want one.
- Only ever to customers who said yes.
04Books
A set of books kept from what came in and what went out.
- Every cost sorted into a category for you to confirm.
- Tax deductibility explained: umbo marks which costs can come off your profit before tax, and says why in plain words.
- Profit and loss, VAT and a balance sheet, always up to date.
- A year-end pack your accountant can work from.
Returns
Seven visits. The next one is on you.
umbo counts a stamp for every visit and tells you when a reward is due. The scheme is yours to set.
Your scheme, your rules
- How many stamps
- Five coffees or ten cuts. You pick the number.
- What they earn
- A free haircut, a drink, money off. You name the reward.
- How long it lasts
- Let stamps run for ever, or set them to expire and umbo warns the customer first.
- Who hears about it
- A message when a reward is ready, and a win back offer for regulars who have drifted.
7 of 7 stamps. Free haircut ready.

Under the hood
Your assistant, on WhatsApp.
Text umbo the way you would text a manager. It does what you asked, and says what it did.
You: Move Sam's two o'clock to three.
umbo: Moved to 3pm. You can undo this for a short while.
You: What did we take yesterday?
umbo: £789.30 yesterday.
You: Block out Friday from four.
umbo: Blocked Friday from 4pm. Nothing was booked in that time.
How it works, for the technically minded
One message in, one job done. Here is what happens in between, in about a second.
01
You text
A WhatsApp message, in your own words.
02
It understands
An AI model reads it and picks the job from the things umbo does for you.
03
It double checks
A second, separate check confirms the plan is what you asked for.
04
It acts as you
The same action a tap in the app runs, under your name, on the record.
05
It tells you
A plain reply with what was done. A booking change can be undone for a short while.
