The PEKO ecosystem

PEKO and LOOP are two products from the same company. PEKO is the AI retention layer and runs alongside the POS you already use. LOOP is the AI-native POS that covers operations: recipe-level inventory, staff shifts, table plans and the kitchen display. Each works on its own, and run together they share one dataset, so nothing has to be entered twice. See PEKO + LOOP in one ecosystem

Malaysian salon clients rarely announce they've left; they drift past their usual window. A reminder just before it, with a small reason to book that week, brings most of them back.

Rebooking cycles

Typical guidance only: every client's hair, nails and skin differ, so set your own timing from your booking history. The AI Agent can time a reminder just before each window.

- Nails (gel, extensions) — About 3 to 4 weeks. Remind around week 3.

- Lash refills — About 2 to 3 weeks. Remind around day 18.

How PEKO handles this

Know who's about to stop coming

PEKO flags regulars who are drifting away and brings them back with automatic reminders.

Why PEKO for salons and spas

Appointment booking — online appointment booking with staff calendars and automatic reminders.

Receipt Scan Loyalty — clients snap the receipt after the appointment and points land in seconds, whatever they paid with. No POS integration and no front-desk step.

Group Check-In — friends who come in together (a bridal party, a mum and daughter) each scan one QR and join, so every guest becomes a client you can invite back, not only the one who paid.

AI Agent — type “Remind lash clients 18 days after their last set, WhatsApp only, free lash bath for rebooking this week” and the Agent builds the segment, offer and message, then waits for your Approve.

Price: free up to 300 members, then RM99, 0% commission, cancel anytime.

When another tool fits better

If you want one salon POS that runs checkout, packages and WhatsApp reminders, TunaiPro is built for that. If you run an aesthetic clinic or multi-service spa, LABÉAU's all-in-one POS may fit better. Already on TunaiPro? See /malaysia/tunaipro.

FAQ

How soon should I remind a nail client to rebook?

Gel and extension sets usually fall about 3 to 4 weeks apart, so a reminder around week 3 is a common starting point. Adjust it from your own booking history.

Does PEKO have appointment booking?

Yes. PEKO includes online appointment booking with staff calendars and automatic reminders, alongside Receipt Scan loyalty, Group Check-In and the AI Agent, so a salon or spa can take bookings and bring clients back from one place.

Can PEKO work beside TunaiPro or LABÉAU?

Yes. Keep your POS, put the PEKO QR at the counter and import your client list by CSV; PEKO's AI Agent then runs rebooking campaigns on WhatsApp.

Does receipt-scan loyalty capture every sale?

It records every visit a client chooses to claim, whatever the payment method. Prompts at the counter and AI rebooking reminders raise the share of clients who claim. Full answer: /answers/does-receipt-scan-loyalty-capture-every-sale.

What can the PEKO AI Agent do?

It turns a plain-language request into a ready voucher, customer segment, campaign, loyalty rule, menu or points change. You review and approve; nothing goes live without you.

Next step

Turn this into repeat visits

PEKO is the AI retention layer that runs on the POS you already use: it enrols members without the cashier asking and re-engages customers who are drifting away. Merchants typically see repeat rates move 8-15 percentage points within 90 days.
