From $299 MXN a month. No contract.

Arca on the iPhone: the summary of sales, profit, average ticket and units

What happens today

What slips away without control

1

Product used in services isn't recorded

Dye, developer and treatments go into services, and that cost never shows in your numbers.

2

You run out of dye mid-week

You notice when there's none left, with the client in the chair.

3

Services and products mixed up

At day's end you don't know what came from services and what from counter sales.

How Arca helps

For a salon that also sells product

  • Charge a service in seconds

    Type the amount for the cut or color and charge, without adding it as a product.

  • What's used, with its reason

    Product used in a service leaves inventory with an adjustment and its reason, without being mistaken for a sale.

  • Counter products

    Shampoo, treatments and accessories with their stock, cost and price.

  • Minimums and shopping list

    Each product with its minimum, and Arca builds the order for your supplier.

  • History per client

    What they buy, how often they come back and how much of your month depends on them.

  • Expenses and profitOn Pro

    Rent, power and payroll next to your sales, to see what you really made.

Start your free week

No contract. Cancel anytime.

Does Arca book appointments?

No. Arca charges, keeps your inventory and gives you your numbers. Keep booking appointments in your usual planner or app.

How do I charge a service?

With quick sale: type the amount and charge. It shows in your sales and closeout but doesn't move inventory. Margin reports count it separately since it has no recorded cost.

Can I track each stylist's commission?

Not per stylist: Arca doesn't keep a profile per person. Record commissions as a payroll expense, on the Pro plan.

How do I record product used in services?

With an outgoing adjustment and its reason. It's deducted from inventory and its cost stays in your numbers, without counting as a sale.

Try Arca in your business for a week

Add your products, sell for a day and see how much you made. If it doesn't work for you, cancel before the week ends and pay nothing.
