Differences between accounting and cash software in hairdressing salons

Definition of a management and accounting software package

A cash management software allows to cash in customers directly at the hairdresser's salon. It works with a software support, for example a computer, as well as a cash drawer and a payment terminal. The management software allows you to create, edit and print receipts. In addition, a cash register management software allows you to manage your daily activities at the hairdressing salon, which will be presented a little later in the article.

An accounting software for your hair salon has a financial function, so it can provide a statement of the financial situation of the hair salon as well as an analysis of the accounting. You can manage the accounting software yourself, or you can provide your accountant with your paper cash journal, who will enter the data into his or her software.

The different functionalities of a cash register software

The cash management software has features that allow you to manage your hair salon that the accounting software does not have. Indeed, you can manage: your planning, maintain a customer file with a complete follow-up for each customer (average basket, products purchased, etc.), manage your stock of resale products and technical products, follow your statistics daily, monthly or annually.

You can, for example, find the results by employee and payment method. The accounting software allows the following activities for your hairdressing salon: establishing the amount of your taxes, establishing the financial relationship with the partners of the hairdressing salon (suppliers, employees, bankers), drawing up statistics and cost analysis ;  

here are the differences between a management software and an accounting software.

A management software allows you to manage your hairdressing salon in an optimized way and to limit the risk of errors in the collections. All the daily activities that you have in your hairdressing salon are gathered on a single platform. This saves you a lot of time and simplifies the management of your salon. The documents you need to give to your accountant are also downloadable in one click.

Moreover, with the new law that comes into force on January 1, 2018, the cash management software is strongly recommended to avoid any errors, and consequently any possibility of fines during an audit control.
