ShortcutsFusion Q&A

All of your Shortcuts Fusion questions answered.

Fusion is designed to scale with your business. Whether you have a single location with a few staff or a multi-site operation with dozens of employees, Fusion provides the tools you need to manage effectively and grow. With three flexible tiers. Base, Climb, and Summit. You can select the option that best fits your current needs and upgrade as your business expands.

Fusion drives revenue growth in multiple ways. The intelligent scheduling minimises gaps in your appointment book, the marketing tools help you attract and retain clients, and the detailed reporting identifies your most profitable services and products. Our clients report an average 34% increase in monthly revenue after implementing online booking and 54% higher revenue when using booking deposits.

Every Fusion package includes comprehensive onboarding and training to ensure your team can maximise the software’s potential. Our support team is available via 24/7 phone, email and chat to assist with any questions.

While Aire is perfect for independent stylists and small teams, Fusion offers more robust management tools designed for established businesses with multiple staff members and potentially multiple locations. Fusion provides deeper reporting, more extensive marketing capabilities, and advanced staff management features that growing salons need. There is much more to Fusion that we can show you during a free demo. 

Salons that switch to Fusion report significant time savings on administrative tasks, improved staff productivity, enhanced client retention, and substantial revenue growth. The software centralises all aspects of your business operations, giving you greater control and visibility while freeing up time to focus on delivering exceptional client experiences.
