Challenge
Many brands sell directly to the salon's customers and keep the entire profit for themselves
More and more brands are selling their products to customers online. Either directly from the supplier or through partners in cheap online stores. The salons are left with the work and cost of promoting the products while the brands keep all the profits.

The customer shops in the salon's own app

The goods are sent directly to the customer
The national distributor packages the order and sends it directly to the customer or, if the customer wishes, as a gift package to a recipient of the customer. With OSME, the salon can offer the entire national range of Sothys products without having any inventory for it's online sales.

The salon is paid the profit
The salon receives monthly settlements for the online sales. The profit from the sale is approximately the same as if the salon had sold the goods in the salon.
