Founded in 2010, Zenoti was launched to provide an all-in-one business management solution for the spa and salon industry, notoriously plagued by a lack of software robust enough to support the entire business eco-system of operational tasks. Founders, Sudheer and Dheeraj Koneru, experienced first-hand the difficulties in running a chain of spa, salon and fitness centers and reached back to their roots in enterprise software to build a powerful, cloud-based solution that was simple, easy to use.
Today, the Zenoti platform is engineered for reliability and scale, using enterprise-level technology made available to businesses of all sizes from the single location brand to chains with over 200 outlets. Zenoti currently powers thousands of spas and salons in over 30 countries. Zenoti affords the ability to seamlessly manage every aspect of a business from online appointment bookings, to billing through a POS, CRM, employee scheduling and payroll, inventory management, building and deploying marketing promotional and sales campaigns and more. Zenoti clients are able to increase customer retention, customer spend and cut down on costs.
The company is headquartered in Seattle, USA and has 7 offices globally, in the cities of Seattle, Melbourne, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Hyderabad, and Dubai. The company has received $21 Million in funding from Accel and Norwest Venture Partners.
