Industries

Deep where it matters.
Ready for what's next.

Generic software treats every business the same. Adapt goes deep on the industries we serve — salons, barbershops, tattoo studios, pet grooming, recovery programs, and the uniform stores we started in — and the AI agents come standard in all of them. One engine, configured for how each business actually runs.

Where we started

Uniform & Scrub Retail

Adapt was built inside working uniform stores by people who ran them — which is why it handles the things generic POS systems never will: group accounts, employer contracts, vendor catalogs that change nightly, and customers who need the right size in the right color, today.

  • Group & contract selling with employer billing, allowances, and credit limits
  • Vendor EDI: electronic POs, live vendor stock, automatic catalog updates
  • Special orders and work orders, tracked from request to pickup
  • Size/color/style matrix inventory that matches how apparel really sells
  • eCommerce with contract pricing and shop-by-store

Beauty Salons

Salons run on relationships and repeat visits — exactly what Adapt's AI agents are built for. The Adapt Salon front desk runs the book, the chairs, and the register; online booking, memberships, deposits, card payments, payroll to QuickBooks, and even state-board exam prep are all built in.

  • An appointment book built for color, with junior/senior/master pricing
  • Online booking, reminders by email, SMS & voice, and deposit protection
  • Memberships & packages, card payments, time clock, and payroll → QuickBooks
  • State Board exam prep and automatic reviews & win-back
  • Marketing, social, and My Website AI agents — you approve everything

Pet Grooming

Grooming built around the animal. Adapt won't let a dog on the table until its vaccinations check out — the pet parent snaps a photo of the vet record, the AI reads it, and your team confirms. Then it prices and schedules by size and coat, and hands the next groomer a full history.

  • Vaccination gate — AI-read records, human-confirmed, enforced at booking
  • Size & coat tiers set both price and appointment length
  • Per-pet record with notes that carry forward, plus before/after photos
  • Color-coded book by groomer & bay, with ready-for-pickup texts

Barbershops

Half appointments, half walk-ins, most barbers renting their chair — Adapt is built for exactly that. A live walk-in queue the whole shop can see, one-tap rebooking, and chair rent that closes itself out, on top of a full register.

  • Live walk-in queue and quick rebook, on by default
  • Chair/booth rent as the default pay model, mixable with commission
  • Fast flat-menu checkout — no service levels in the way
  • Reminders by email, SMS & voice, and product on the same ticket

Tattoo & Piercing Studios

A studio can't run on a booking app. Adapt turns on the guardrails a studio can't operate without — a deposit to hold the chair, signed consent and waiver, ID and age capture — and tracks a sleeve across every session, billed by the hour.

  • Deposit-to-hold (default 25%, 48h window) as no-show protection
  • Consent, waiver, and ID/age capture on by default
  • Multi-session project tracking with hourly pricing
  • Book by artist & station, weekly booth rent, full register underneath

Recovery & Behavioral Health

Operations software for addiction-recovery and behavioral-health programs, with 42 CFR Part 2 and HIPAA built into every corner. It schedules care, tracks attendance and consent, and works alongside your clinical EHR — it doesn't replace it.

  • Session schedule, levels of care (OP/IOP/PHP/sober living), telehealth
  • Enrollments & per-session attendance; Part 2 release-of-information ledger
  • Marketing that can't touch treatment data — alumni opt-in only
  • An AI assistant that refuses to identify a client — privacy by default

What's next

Your industry could be the next one

The platform underneath — register, inventory, customers, website, AI agents — works anywhere independent businesses sell to people they know by name. We add industries deliberately, going deep with real operators instead of shipping a shallow "works for everyone" template. If that sounds like your business, we'd like to hear from you.
