Barber
A local service startup needed a booking and operations platform to replace their manual scheduling system and grow their client base online — built in 35 days.
Project Overview
Barber is a service-business MVP built for a grooming startup that was losing potential customers due to a manual, phone-only booking system. The founder wanted to move fast — build a platform that let customers book online, see availability in real time, and pay upfront. We delivered the full booking and CRM system in 35 days.
Technologies Used
The Challenge
The founder was spending hours a day managing appointments by phone and WhatsApp — time that should have been spent on the business. No-shows were costing revenue with no way to enforce prepayment. They needed automation, but couldn't afford enterprise scheduling software and didn't want something generic.
Our Solution
We built a custom booking platform tailored to their operations: service selection, real-time slot availability, and integrated payment on booking. A lightweight CRM dashboard let staff manage appointments, view customer history, and send reminders. Built on React and MongoDB with AWS hosting for reliability and speed.
Results
Booking time dropped from hours of manual effort to near zero. No-shows reduced significantly after prepayment was enforced. Within 60 days of launch, the client reported a 40% increase in new customer bookings — driven by discoverability through their new online presence.
