The story

Started in 2001 as Envision, a vertical POS/scheduling suite for salons, spas, and studios. Acquired by PatientNow (a med-spa/aesthetics practice-management platform) and rebranded as EnvisionNow by PatientNow, becoming the salon/spa arm of a broader beauty-and-wellness software group. Recent product direction has moved beyond scheduling into embedded payments (integrated POS + text-to-pay + memberships + recurring billing) and AI-driven client engagement (Concierge).
