The Marketplace Tax vs. Trimvert
Legacy booking apps lure shops in, then charge 20%–30% discovery cuts on clients you earned. Here is how Trimvert puts power back in your hands:
The Marketplace Trap
Aggregates shops into a consumer directory where competitors sit right next to you.
- 20% to 30% commission cuts taken on new appointments and discovery bookings.
- Mandatory 150MB mobile app download for clients, leading to high drop-offs.
- Competitor shops promoted right on your own business profile page.
- Client list locked in a silo; difficult or impossible to export your client data.
- Expensive proprietary POS hardware terminals required for basic features.
Your Private Booking Portal
Your own direct link. Invisible software, frictionless booking, and 100% data ownership.
- 0% commission on services and tips — always, forever, guaranteed in writing.
- Zero app download required — clients book in 45 seconds on any mobile web browser.
-
Private calendar subdomain (e.g.
willycutz.trimvert.com) branded strictly to you. - 100% data ownership with instant CSV/JSON exports anytime you need.
- Automated cadence recall SMS scheduled at 14, 21, and 28-day service intervals.
- Works seamlessly on any tablet, iPad, phone, or laptop you already own.

The 4-Pillar Retention Engine
How Trimvert guarantees that once a client enters your shop, they never slip through the cracks.
Private Calendar Claim
Every shop claims their own dedicated high-speed link (such as willycutz.trimvert.com). Clients tap your link in your Instagram bio, Google profile, or text messages and finish booking in 45 seconds on any mobile browser. Zero app downloads required.
Cadence Recall Engine
Shops lose thousands each month when loyal clients delay appointments by a week. Trimvert tracks the exact service cycle (14 days for fades, 21 days for beards, 28 days for color) and automatically sends a friendly SMS right when their appointment is due.
Recurring VIP Chair Passes
Convert unpredictable walk-in traffic into guaranteed monthly recurring revenue (MRR). With native VIP memberships, shops can sell bi-weekly or monthly unlimited chair passes with automated recurring billing, establishing reliable predictable cash flow year-round.
In-Chair Rebook & Formula Vault
The highest conversion moment is before the cape comes off. Trimvert’s in-chair tablet checkout lets the provider record tips and lock in the client’s next visit in 1 tap. Hair salons and colorists benefit from the built-in Formula Vault, storing exact mixing ratios, toner levels, and allergy notes securely.
AI That Saves You Time & Makes You Money
We don't build gimmicks or autonomous bots that run wild. We build deterministic AI tools that take busywork off your plate:
1. Text-to-Rebook
Clients reply naturally to recall SMS (e.g., "Same cut, Friday after 5?"). Our AI reads the intent and matches it to your live chair schedule. Your own code confirms availability and reserves the slot.
2. Daily Morning Briefing
A clean morning SMS text delivered to the shop owner: today's bookings, expected revenue, open chair gaps, and loyal clients due for outreach.
3. "Ask Your Business" Assistant
Ask plain-English questions: "Who hasn't been in for 6 weeks?" or "What did Chair 2 make last month?" and receive immediate, safe read-only analytics.
