How AI Can Transform the Spa Industry

While artificial intelligence, or AI as we have come to know it, is a term most of us recognise, we often don’t understand the different ways that spa businesses can interact with it on a daily basis. Explore AI and how it contributes to the success of many spa businesses worldwide, how can it help spa owners optimise their offering for their clients and prepare their spa businesses for the fast-approaching future.

Shane Gopaul is the long established Technical Director of ESP Connect Africa where he has had a long career of over a decade as the architect of the ESP Amazon Cloud he innovatively called “Nanoverse” 6 years ago. A term that has stuck and the likes of Facebook have only recently emulated with their rebranding to “Metaverse”. Shane believes in using technology and innovation to turn ideas into commercially viable realities for any modern business. He understands the value and enjoys serving the wellness industry which has become his home as part of ESP and manages all the major Salon & Spa groups loyalty, voucher and such systems for the likes of Spas Of Distinction, Dermalogica, Camelot, Sorbet, Carlton to name a few.

Theme: A Sense of Purpose

“If you aren’t making a difference in other people’s lives. You shouldn’t be in business – it is that simple” Richard Branson

What Is a Sense of Purpose? A sense of purpose is whatever you believe in. It is your driving force, your motivation, and your guiding light to work towards a life that you think will satisfy you. Your life’s purpose is very closely linked to your sense of purpose.

In these times of change, it can be called: Disruptive Thinking, Critical Thinking, Workplace Intelligence, Increased Employee or Customer Engagement, Interface Design, Matrix Model …. the list goes on, but still returns to a Sense of Purpose.
