Anomaly Detection in Action
See how salons use this feature every day
Cash Variance Alert
The evening cash count shows a $35 variance. The system flags it, checks if this is a pattern, and finds it's the 3rd variance this week from the same drawer — escalating to a Critical alert for the owner.
Discount Abuse
An employee applies a 60% discount on a $200 service. The anomaly system immediately flags it and notifies the manager, who can review and approve or reverse the discount.
How does salon software help catch money leaking out of the business?
By flagging the ordinary things that quietly cost a salon money and putting them in one place. Tilavon checks every hour for tickets left open -- a ticket still open after two hours usually means a service that never got rung up -- and raises an alert on each one. It also warns you when stock is running low and when a product is approaching its expiration date. Cash is covered by the drawer count itself: every close records the over or short against the counted cash, by employee, and your cash reports show the variance and the trend, so a repeated shortfall is easy to spot. Every alert carries a severity -- Info, Warning, or Critical -- and lands in one list in the owner portal where you can filter it, acknowledge it, or mark it resolved.
