Dermacare's Online Tool Will Help Franchisees Simplify Accounting and Other Business Tasks
(Science Letter Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Dermacare Laser & Skin Care Clinics(R), the only physician-based laser aesthetic skin-care franchisor in the nation, announced a new way for all franchisees to streamline the management of their clinic through a secure online interface offered through Dermacare's strategic partner, SageFire, Inc.
The SageFire application will allow Dermacare franchise owners and office personnel to log on anytime and manage their most common business tasks. These include entering daily income and expenses, tracking sales, scheduling consults and appointments, making automatic royalty payments and participating in a community discussion forum with other Dermacare franchisees. Because the application is web-based, clinic owners do not have to install any software to realize the program's benefits. SageFire also stores all the data and backs up the server for each clinic.
"The beauty of this program is simplicity," says Carl Mudd, Dermacare CEO and president. "Clinic owners, office managers or anyone else the owner designates will be able to manage financial records without any previous training in accounting -- as well as handle a variety of other routine office duties."
Another key advantage is the "Dermacare Community Forum," which lets clinic owners exchange best-practice ideas and information with each other in a free-flowing, secure environment. "The more each physician-owner contributes to the discussion, the more everyone else will benefit," Mudd explains. The community forum has already launched, and other platform features will be rolled out in phases by May 17.
SageFire works with more than 20 million small-business owners in the U.S. It recently announced a partnership with eBay in which the site's buyers and sellers can receive an annual summary of all their transactions (for tax purposes) through the SageFire portal.
Dermacare clinics offer Cutera's unique 3D for Skin Rejuvenation, which includes FotoFacial(TM) for tone (reducing brown spots and sun damage), Laser Genesis to improve texture (shrink pore size and improve fine lines and wrinkles) and Titan(TM) (to firm up sagging skin and fine lines). Other services include BOTOX Cosmetics(R), dermal fillers Restylane(R) and Radiesse(TM), laser hair and vein removal, laser wrinkle and acne scar reduction, microdermabrasion, BLU-U(R) acne light treatment and laser tattoo removal.
Dermacare franchises are located in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. Each clinic has exclusive geographic operating rights, enabling physicians to invest in single or multiple locations.
