Introduction

We know that no-shows are a costly issue for any business with bookings, so we’re excited to tell you about an improvement to our reminder system. Now, in addition to the 1-hour reminder we send, clients will also receive a push notification reminder 24-hours before their scheduled booking. This extra nudge helps clients remember their bookings well in advance, reducing the risk of last-minute cancellations.

Introduction

We just released a small but impactful improvement to our Noona web, making it easy for users to find and buy vouchers on the Noona web. In addition to the new vouchers list, we also made some big improvements to our sites SEO, making it easier for all businesses using Noona to be discovered on search engines like Google.

Introduction

We’re introducing a new verification system for service providers on the Noona marketplace. This initiative aims to ensure that users can easily identify verified professionals, such as hairstylists, beauty specialists, and more, giving them confidence in the quality of the services they book.

This feature is only available in Iceland at the moment.

Why are we doing this?

Professional service providers have long expressed the need to distinguish themselves on the Noona platform. This update will highlight certified individuals, helping users make informed booking decisions.

What’s new?

• Employees in selected industries, such as Beauty and Hair Salons, can now be verified through Noona HQ.

• Verified service providers will have a visible “verified icon” next to their profile picture across the Noona marketplace.

• Users can see the certification level of the provider (e.g., Master of Craftsmanship, Journeyman, Intern).

How to apply for verification

If you are a certified service provider and wish to apply for verification on the Noona marketplace, you simply have to navigate to Noona HQ → Settings → General.
There you can send in a formal application to be verified, but you must include proof of certification.

We’ve made joining a waitlist even easier! Previously, clients could only join a company’s waitlist through the Noona app, but now they can do so directly on the Noona web as well. This update simplifies access for users, making it easier than ever for them to join waitlists for their favorite service providers and restaurants – no app download required!

By expanding waitlist access to the web, we’re doing our best to help businesses on Noona reach more clients and fill last-minute openings :high_voltage:️

Introduction

We’re super excited to tell you about the brand new “Booking Offers” feature.
Like all service providers know, it can be a hassle to fill empty slots in the calendar. Now, when a slot opens up in your calendar, you can send a booking offer directly to clients from your waitlist.

How It Works

From the waitlist in Noona HQ, select a client to receive the offer. The booking offer is then sent instantly via push notification and email, giving the client the option to accept or decline. If the booking requires a payment, clients will be prompted to pay upfront when they accept the offer, saving you the hassle of collecting payments later. You can even set a custom message and an expiry time on the booking offer, ensuring that the empty slots in the calendar are filled quickly.

Why You’ll Love It

With “Booking Offers,” there’s no need to call each client individually; just send out the offer and let clients book on their own! This feature saves time and keeps your schedule organized.

Introduction

We’ve launched an integration with Payday, allowing Noona HQ users to easily sync their sales data between Noona HQ and their Payday accounting software. This integration simplifies financial management for businesses that rely on both platforms.

How do I enable the Payday app?

Noona HQ users can now enable the Payday app directly from the Noona App Store, streamlining data syncing between the two systems. If you want to enable this integration, head over to Noona HQ → Settings → Account → Apps

For more details, check out the help article written by Payday here.

Introduction

We’re thrilled to introduce the “Client Invoice Report” feature in Noona HQ!
Noona HQ users can now generate a report of all invoices for a specific client within a chosen date range. With just one click on the client’s profile, you can access detailed invoice summaries – perfect for clients needing transaction records or invoices for reimbursements or insurance claims.

How It Works

Simply go to the client list in Noona HQ, choose a client and click on the “create report” button in the “Latest checkouts” section. Select the date range you need, and voilá, you’ve generated a quick and organized report for your client!

Introduction

We’re excited to introduce a new feature that gives you more control over who can book appointments online. Noona HQ users can now choose to accept bookings exclusively from existing clients, ensuring that new clients cannot book online.

This setting can be customized for each staff member, allowing you to easily choose which team members can accept online bookings from new clients and which cannot.

How to enable this feature

HQ users and staff members can configure this booking control in the Noona HQ staff member list. If you want to enable this feature, head over to Noona HQ → Staff → Choose Staff member → Online Bookings tab → Toggle "Allow bookings from new clients”.

Introduction

We are happy to be introducint the “Detailed Appointment List App”, an app that makes it easy to create a customized list view of all your appointment data. If you need a different perspective on appointments than what’s currently provided in Noona HQ, this might be the app for you! Arrange columns, apply multi-select filters, and each time you open the app, your preferred view is ready to use. Quickly filter data to see new clients, calculate total sales by staff, track cancellations, or export an exact view to Excel for further analysis.

This app provides a clear view into your appointment data, helping you track trends, manage client communications, and expand your reporting capabilities.

What is the Noona HQ App Store?

Our new App Store allows anyone to create additional functionality (apps) on top of our platform. Third party developers can now create these apps by using the Noona API’s.

The “Detailed Appointment List” app was created by an external developer, independent of the Noona development team. We hope it not only adds value to your current subscription but also shows the potential of hiring a developer to build custom apps for your specific needs when we may not be able to address them directly.

Introduction

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you accidentally modified a client's crucial information that you still needed? Or perhaps you've experienced the frustration of losing an important note because someone inadvertently pasted over it? We understand these challenges, and we're excited to announce that these problems are now firmly in the past. We've introduced a game-changing feature that allows you to view the complete change history for both clients and appointments with remarkable ease. This powerful tool is now at your fingertips, accessible with just a single click when viewing the details of any client or appointment.

But wait, there's more to explore! We've taken our commitment to transparency and efficiency a step further. You now have the ability to verify and track Noona's automatic communication processes. With this new feature, you can confirm that our system's automatic confirmation emails and app notifications for each appointment were successfully dispatched. We've made sure to provide you with comprehensive details – the email recipient is clearly specified, giving you a clear picture of who received the communication. What's even more impressive is that in the majority of cases, we can provide you with insights into when the email confirmation was opened by the recipient.

Noona Pay is now available for restaurants, bringing the same convenience enjoyed by our appointment scheduling users. Restaurants can now charge prepayments for bookings and experiences, and also request clients to provide payment card information for charging no-show fees when reservations are missed.

Why This Matters

This feature gives restaurant operators peace of mind, allowing them to secure payments upfront and protect themselves against potential revenue loss from no-shows.

Introduction

A list containing all your bookings is now accessible from a dropdown behind the calendar icon in the top left corner of your desktop screen and from the main navigation menu on both mobile and desktop. It includes a search functionality that enables users to quickly locate specific bookings within the list view. This powerful tool allows for finding bookings by client name, staff member, and date range, significantly improving your workflow options for appointment management.

You can now access and review deleted appointments, giving you a much improved overview of all scheduled bookings, including those that were cancelled or removed. This feature enhances transparency and allows for better tracking of deleted appointments, no matter if they were accidentally or intentionally deleted.

The list view offers an alternative way for you to visualise the upcoming and past schedule, which may be preferable for those who find the calendar UI overwhelming. This streamlined view presents bookings in a clear, chronological order, making it easy to focus on individual time slots and appointment details without the visual clutter of a full calendar layout. Should you need to have a physical copy of your agenda, you can easily save the list as PDF using the integrated print button.

Also included is a brand new metrics section, that has been added to the top of the list view. This offers valuable insights at a glance. You can now quickly assess key performance indicators, appointment trends, and other relevant data points directly from the booking list, facilitating data-driven decision making and performance tracking.

Introduction

We’ve introduced service type categorization to help organize the thousands of services offered on the Noona platform. Now, when creating a service, businesses can choose a service type from a curated list that covers most of the services offered by our customers.

Why This Matters

Categorizing services improves search functionality and boosts discoverability on the Noona marketplace. For example, if a service is categorized as “Men’s haircut,” it will appear in search results for “Men’s haircut,” even if the service name is something unique like “Haircut only for the men of Westeros.” This makes it easier for users to find the services they’re looking for, enhancing their overall experience.

Introduction

We made some improvements to our Waitlist so that it is easier for a Noona HQ users to access information in the “Client Information side-panel” quickly from the waitlist.

This improvement was made to Noona HQ because many of our customers wanted to have an easy access to relevant information they needed because taking action inside their waitlist.

Introduction

It’s now possible to edit invoice line items to change staff members—something that wasn’t possible just a month ago and had been causing headaches for many of our customers. After realizing that not all invoice data needs to be permanent, especially when mistakes happen, we implemented this much-needed improvement to make life easier.

Why This Matters

This change allows businesses to correct errors in staff assignment on invoices, making it easy to assign an invoice to the right staff member if needed.

Introduction

The Noona Prepayments project from February 2024 remains in beta, and while Noona Pay hasn’t been officially launched yet, we’re making important strides toward that goal. This month, the dev team implemented key improvements to bring us closer to launching Noona Pay internationally. These steps included improving our payout functionality for better synchronization with our payment provider, Adyen and enabling individual contractors to be eligable for their own payouts.

We’re excited to announce that table reservations are now available on the Noona Marketplace! This update allows users to browse and reserve tables at restaurants directly through Noona, expanding the platform beyond appointment-based services.

Why We Made This Change

As part of our Table Reservations project, we wanted to extend the convenience of Noona to the restaurant industry, offering an easy way for users to make table bookings while boosting visibility for restaurant partners.

Introduction

We’re excited to launch our Table Reservations system as part of Noona HQ! Our new Table Reservations software allows restaurants to manage bookings directly through our platform, offering a powerful, cost-effective alternative to existing solutions in the market.

Why We Made This Change

At Noona, we’ve always been driven by the goal of creating a versatile platform that empowers businesses across different sectors. Expanding into the restaurant industry is a natural progression of that vision. Our platform has been incredibly successful in helping service providers manage bookings, appointments, and customer relationships. With the growing demand for table reservation systems, we saw an opportunity to bring the same level of efficiency and innovation to the restaurant sector.
The restaurant industry faces unique challenges, such as managing reservations, optimizing seating arrangements, and ensuring a seamless customer experience. By integrating these capabilities into Noona HQ, we aim to provide restaurants with the tools they need to run their operations more smoothly and efficiently. Our goal is to help restaurants streamline bookings, reduce no-shows, and offer a better dining experience for their customers.

Introduction

Some members of our product team decided that with the arrival of table reservations on Noona, it was the perfect time to give our confirmation emails a fresh look. We’ve drastically improved the design and content of confirmation emails for all bookings—whether it’s for appointments or table reservations.

What’s New?

• Prettier design and clarity for confirmation emails.

• Improved information layout for both appointments and reservations.

• The ability to quickly click action buttons, such as cancel booking or “add to calendar”.

Introduction

Following the release of Noona Pay, we realized some businesses, particularly those with contractors, needed more detailed payment data. Specifically, they required a breakdown of payments by staff member to accurately charge contractors for payment services.

What’s new?

With this insight, we quickly implemented changes to create the Staff Sales by Payment Method report, making it easier for businesses to access the information they need.

Introduction

We’ve introduced Suggestions to Quick Bookings! This new feature uses a predictive model to suggest relevant services for users based on their past appointments and other Noona App data, making the booking process faster and more personalized. If you want to test out the personalized suggestions, head over to the Noona App and into the Quick Bookings page.

By analyzing user behavior, we aim to provide smarter, tailored recommendations to enhance the booking experience of our Noona users and help them discover services that match their needs.

We’re excited to introduce our first Inventory Management functionality! This much-requested addition allows Noona HQ users to manage their inventory in a basic way. After receiving continuous feedback from users, we decided to bring the feature to life and delivering a simplified version to meet immediate needs.

What’s new?

Noona HQ users can now:

• Add stock to their products.

• Automatically reduce stock on products when they are boughts

• See if products are low on stock in the POS checkout process
  

Why We Made This Change

Inventory management has been one of the most requested features from our HQ users. By leveraging past development efforts, we quickly released an basic version to address user demand and provide a foundational tool for tracking and managing stock. We aim to imrpove this Inventory Management feature in the coming months.

Introduction

Every day, thousands of professionals use Noona HQ in more than 20 countries worldwide. These professionals are primarily using four functionalities in Noona HQ:

• The Calendar

• The Sales Pro

• The Client list

• Reports

To highlight these four core functionalities in our system, we decided to improve the “Navigation Bar” so that it will be easier for our users to access the most essential parts of Noona HQ. By moving the “Navigation Bar” from the left side of the screen to the top, we are also creating more room so that Noona HQ feels cleaner and has more space on all horizontal screens, such as tablets, laptops, and other desktop computers.

The most important parts of the system will get their tab in the new navigation bar, but all other pages like Services, Staff, and Settings will be easily accessible through the Main Menu (≡).

What’s New?

• The left-side navigation panel has been transformed into a collapsible menu, reclaiming screen space and improving calendar visibility.

• Key features are now easily accessible via the top navigation, tailored to your industry for an intuitive experience.

• A fresh, streamlined look for the top navigation bar, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

Introduction

We’re excited to introduce the Noona App Store – a brand-new way to customize your Noona HQ experience! The App Store empowers third-party developers to build apps and integrations that address the specific needs of businesses, like those in different countries. Whether it's unique functionality or market-specific system integrations, the Noona App Store is here to provide tailored solutions.

What’s New

With the launch of the Noona App Store, you can now:

• Access custom-built apps created by third-party developers.

• Leverage powerful APIs and comprehensive documentation, so developers can easily build and submit apps that work seamlessly within the Noona HQ ecosystem.

Shortly after we launched the Noona App store, a great proof of concept example cought our eye. A business owner in the Czech Republic wanted to blacklist certain customers because of their bad behavior. Using the Noona App Store, the business owner and a developer friend of his were able to quickly build a custom app to solve this issue. This app, called “Blacklist” is now available on the Noona App Store.

Why We Made This Change

We created the Noona App Store to meet the growing demand for country-specific integrations and custom functionality that many of our customers require. As Noona HQ grows internationally, we recognize that each market has its own needs. Instead of diverting our internal development resources to every request, the App Store opens the door for third-party developers to solve unique problems and build value for our customers. This allows businesses to address their own specific challenges faster, without waiting for internal development cycles.

Next Steps

To get started with the Noona App Store:

Introduction

The service industry is comprised of all kinds of businesses, ranging from Salons to Counseling to Medical services - but what seems to be a common request from many types of businesses is being able to configure commissions for employees when services or products are sold.

What’s New?

Noona HQ users can now set up percentage-based commissions for employees on services, products, and gift cards.

Noona HQ users can now access two new reports:

• Commission Summary - View commission totals by team member, service, product, or voucher.

• Commission Detailed - See individual sales or bookings linked to commissions.

Enable Employee Commissions

You can turn on the Employee Commissions feature for each employee from their settings page. Once activated, you can set a unique commission percentage for that employee. This commission can be a different percentage for services, products, vouchers and bookings.

Because Employee Commissions are highly linked to the selling of services, products and vouchers - they can only be enabled by customers using our POS power-up.

Commission Reports

After enabling Commissions for employees our customers can access the Commission Report to use when they need the information on Commissions:

• Breakdown of commissions by staff member: This report is a summary of all commissions for each staff member, broken down into categories for Commission by service, Commission by product, Commission by sold vouchers and Commission by bookings.

Introduction

Noona HQ users can now add a custom message to their booking confirmation emails and booking confirmation page, making communication with customers more personalized. To add a custom message to your booking confirmation emails, go to Settings > Online Bookings > Visibility.

Why we made this change

Many of our Noona HQ users were asking for a way to deliver a custom message to their clients after they make a booking. The reason for these custom messages would differ but this request kept popping up, so we decided to listen to our cusomters and deliver an improvement.

Introduction

Building on the success of our online payment services in Iceland, we're thrilled to extend these services globally. Thanks to our new partnership with Adyen, online payments are now available in all markets, including the Czech Republic and Portugal.

Prepayments

Our customers can now accept payments directly when users book services online. This feature improves convenience for both service providers and users. Offering online payment services globally gives all of our customers better control and more options for handling their service charges, helping to reduce no-shows and boost their earnings.

When enabling Prepayments, businesses can configure the payment settings in three distinct options:

1. Require Full Payment: Businesses can opt to mandate full payment upfront during the booking process.

2. Optional Full Payment: This option gives people the choice to pay in full at the time of booking if they prefer.

3. Require Partial Payment: Businesses can set a specific percentage of the service fee that must be paid to confirm the booking. The partial payment can be customized for each service.

Sell vouchers online

Offering online payment services in all our markets also enables our customers to sell vouchers online. By selling vouchers online through our Noona Marketplace, our customers have the opportunity to increase their sales and engage with customers, helping to grow their business!

• Custom Amount Vouchers: Offer vouchers with amounts set by the customer, perfect for gifting and flexible spending. Customers choose exactly how much they want to spend, making these vouchers a versatile choice for any occasion.

• Service Vouchers: Tailor vouchers to specific services you offer. A great way to promote particular services and attract customers to new or popular offerings.

• Series Vouchers: Ideal for services that require or benefit from multiple visits, such as beauty treatments or fitness classes. Encourage repeat business and customer loyalty by offering a series of sessions at a value price.

What’s new?

After many request from Noona HQ users, we added a way for business owners to add a legal address to their invoices. Some of our Noona HQ users needed to add their legal entity address to their invoices so that the invoices could be considered legal in their country, but the problem was that in many cases, the legal entity address is diffrent from the address where the business is operating.

If you are facing this particular problem, head over to Noona HQ > Settings > My Sales to add your legal entity address to your invoices.

We’ve made important updates to the Noona HQ App, including a load refresh for long loading times and performance enhancements for a faster, smoother experience.

Why we made this change

We’ve been receiving a lot of feedback from Noona HQ users that the Noona HQ App is sometimes slow to load upon opening. Our reaction to this feedback was to improve the performance of the Noona HQ App and add a load refresh when the App takes more than 6 seconds to open.

Introduction

The Noona POS now has its own route, meaning the Noona HQ Calendar no longer runs in the background when HQ users open the Point-of-Sale. This results in a significant performance improvement for Noona HQ on the web. This improvement also allows Noona HQ users to open the Noona POS in another tab in their browser for easier access.

Introduction

We’re excited to announce a much anticipated update to our Noona HQ calendar integration with Google Calendar. Now, your calendars work in perfect harmony with a 2-way sync! 🥳

What’s New?

Previously, appointments made in Noona HQ would sync over to Google Calendar. With this update, you can now:

Sync in both directions:
Changes or additions made in either Noona HQ or Google Calendar will automatically update in the other.

Stay organized across your business and personal life:
Whether you're managing appointments for your services or personal events, now both calendars will reflect the latest updates – no more double booking or missed appointments!

We know how important it is for professionals like you to keep track of both business and personal commitments. This integration makes it easier to view everything in one place and stay on top of your schedule, wherever you are.

Introduction

We’ve added a “Book Again” list to the Noona App homepage. This new list makes it super easy for users to quickly rebook services they use regularly, streamlining the booking process for app user and repeat customers.

Why we made this change

We noticed that a lot of our Noona users (especially those using the Noona App) were constantly booking the same services again and again. By introducing this list to the homepage, we hope to be able to save these super-users some time by quickly rebooking their favorite services.

If you are interested in learning more about how to create a custom status for appointments with our API, you can check out our API documentation here: https://api.noona.is/docs/

Introduction

Born from a user interview, we’ve introduced Client Notices. The notices can be created via our API and they appear in the appointments panel, providing important client information to HQ users.
Some of our Noona HQ users have been creating Client Notices to remind them of their clients’ birthday. Others have been integrating Noona HQ to other systems and using the Client Notices to display relevant information in the appointments panel.

If you are interested in learning more about how to create a custom status for appointments with our API, you can check out our API documentation here: https://api.noona.is/docs/
