Does it work with the management software I already use?
The question every salon asks before changing anything. How to check it in two minutes, and what to ask when someone tells you they integrate with everything.
It is the first question any salon asks before looking at anything else, and rightly so: you have spent years with one program, your team knows it, and the idea of migrating is exhausting. If the new tool forces you to drop it, the conversation ends there.
The short answer is yes, without leaving your program. It is worth understanding through where, because "works with" means two different things and almost everyone mixes them up.
And if your program is Nubimed, which many dental clinics use, there is a connector of its own: ClaudIA asks Nubimed for the free slots in the moment, writes the appointment there as it confirms it, and whatever your team does in Nubimed reaches ClaudIA within seconds. One schedule, the one you already use. We cover it in full in connecting an AI to your clinic's software.
The two things people lump together
Your schedule is what changes every day: who is coming, at what time, with whom, for how long. If two systems disagree about this, you have a problem that same afternoon.
Your client records are the client base: names, phone numbers, history, preferences. It changes slowly and you do not touch it daily.
When someone says "it integrates with your program", they are usually talking about one of the two, not both. And the one that really complicates your life when it fails is the first.
The schedule: Google Calendar is the bridge
Here is the part almost nobody explains. Most salon and clinic management programs sync with Google Calendar; it is a feature they have shipped for years because their own customers asked for it.
ClaudIA syncs with Google Calendar too, and both ways: the appointments it books appear in the calendar, and whatever you write in by hand it respects as busy time.
With those two pieces, the bridge is already built. ClaudIA and your program do not need to talk to each other directly: both talk to Google, and Google keeps them square. You carry on working where you work and the appointments show up where they need to.
How to check it in two minutes, without calling anyone: go into your management program's settings and look for "Google Calendar" or "Calendar". If the option to connect is there, you have it. If you cannot find it, write to their support and ask whether it syncs with Google Calendar and in which directions. That answer tells you where you stand with any tool you are offered, not just this one.
Records: imported in a few minutes
Your clients are imported by exporting a file from your program — every program allows it — and they are loaded in a few minutes, without duplicating a single record: the reference is the phone number or the email. If the file carries the last-visit date, the "time to come back" reminders work from day one.
From then on, ClaudIA keeps each record up to date on its own with what it learns in every conversation and every appointment. How that move is done, step by step, is in moving your clients from one program to another.
Three questions for when they say "we integrate with everything"
It is a phrase said often and backed rarely. These three test it in a minute:
Both ways, or only one? Your appointments going out to a calendar is not the same as both sides respecting each other. If the sync goes out but not back, whatever you write in by hand does not exist for the other system, and that is where the overlaps start.
On my plan, or do I have to move up? Sometimes the integration exists, but it lives two tiers above what you were going to pay.
And if I leave one day, what do I take with me? The one people ask least, and the one that says most about whoever answers.
The way out matters more than the way in
When comparing tools, everyone looks at how you get in and almost nobody at how you get out. It should be the other way round: they all make getting in easy, because it suits them.
With ClaudIA your data exports whenever you want, with history and contacts, and you take it with you. That is not a nice touch: it is what makes trying it risk-free.
If you want the full map, it is in what ClaudIA does and in how ClaudIA fits into your business. To try it against your own calendar, each product has its own site with your country's plans: you have them all under products.
