How are client apps and staff apps different?
Your clients and your staff need different things from your business, so they each need the specialized tools to get the job done! Your clients will need to look at their own profiles and access their own data, while your team needs a much broader range of information.

Here’s a look at some of the features these apps offer to help your business leave a lasting impression:

The Achieve app for clients is a sure-fire way to quickly improve your clients’ experience! Clients can book a spot in class, purchase products or services, check on their loyalty points (more on that later!) and so much more, all from their mobile devices.
The more convenient you make your clients’ experience, the more loyalty, repeat business, and revenue you build—all with just a few clicks!

Building a loyal following means increased revenue, word of mouth marketing, and happy clients. Loyalty is crucial, and WellnessLiving can offer you the tools to build, manage and grow your loyalty program.
We make your program set-up quick and easy. As soon as clients are signed up, they can earn, track and redeem their points, right from their mobile device.
