What NovIntel is
NovIntel is a web-based barbershop management platform covering bookings, staff, customers, payments, loyalty and walk-ins. Customers can book appointments and pay deposits around the clock through a booking experience on the shop’s website. Owners can manage chair schedules, staff, customer records, payments, the walk-in queue, loyalty, referrals, messaging and reports. Barbers receive a dedicated app for schedules, appointments and the walk-in queue, with an option to mark services complete from the chair. The platform includes a live floor display for walk-ins, plus payments and deposits. Solo barber, Barbershop and Multi-location options are priced by chairs and barbers. Solo includes a branded booking site and barber app; Barbershop adds the owner dashboard, barber apps, walk-in queue, loyalty and payments; Multi-location provides separate branding per shop and central oversight. Full setup is included, and the site says most shops are live within a week. Pricing is quoted after a demo.
