The Ludhiana angle for salons

Ludhiana exporters need multi-language WhatsApp catalogs — Hindi for domestic wholesale, English for international buyers, sometimes Punjabi for regional retailers.

22% no-show rate on appointments

Salon no-shows are the highest in any industry. Bridal, mehendi, party-prep — the sting of a missed slot at peak hours is brutal.

Loyalty cards live in a drawer

You promised every 10th visit free. The card is somewhere. The customer thinks they're owed something. The receptionist guesses. Margin and goodwill both leak.

Off-day cancellations re-fill manually

When someone cancels at 2pm for a 4pm slot, who tells the next person on the waitlist? Usually no one — the slot just stays empty.

Language + voice in Ludhiana

Punjabi-Hindi mix; English in formal contexts. Service businesses must handle Punjabi voice.

Doggu's voice agent auto-detects Punjabi, Hindi, English and switches mid-conversation if the caller does. WhatsApp templates can be approved in any of the languages your customers actually use.

How Doggu fits Ludhiana salons

WhatsApp booking with stylist preference

Book the right person, the right slot

Clients pick their stylist + service. Live slot availability per stylist. The AI handles 'I want Anjali for highlights next Saturday afternoon' as a complete intent.

Auto-reminder + waitlist re-fill

Cut no-shows from 22% to 7%

24-hour and 2-hour reminders go out automatically. If a client cancels, the next person on the waitlist gets a WhatsApp 'slot just opened' nudge — fills the gap in minutes.

Per portfolio data: salon no-show rates drop from ~22% to ~7% with reminders alone.

Loyalty + win-back

Bring back lapsed clients

Auto-tracks visits, services, and spend. Lapsed clients (60+ days since visit) get a gentle WhatsApp win-back with a calibrated offer. 4-7% reactivate per send.

Payment + tipping link

Tap-to-pay before they walk out

Send a Razorpay/UPI link with the bill. Built-in tip option (10% / 15% / 20% / custom). Auto-generates the GST invoice.
