Solaryx is our own product: a complete management platform for Belgian tanning salons and wellness networks, covering bookings, point of sale, solarium and cabin control, compliance and loyalty in one tool. Building and running it ourselves, instead of only building software for other people to run, changed how we build software for everyone else.
Edge cases are the product
Power cuts mid-session, offline checkout when the internet drops, the legal delay a client must respect between two sessions, reading a Belgian eID at the counter: these looked like edge cases on a spec sheet. In practice they turned out to be the heart of a salon's actual day. Real products are won or lost exactly there, not in the happy path everyone designs for first.
Compliance is a feature
Belgian solarium regulation is strict: maximum exposure time, mandatory intervals between sessions, age checks. Baking those rules directly into booking and the point of sale, instead of trusting staff to remember them during a busy Saturday, is what makes the software genuinely useful rather than just another screen to click through.
Maintainable beats clever
Living with our own code for years made one thing obvious: clean, boring, maintainable code wins over clever code every time a support ticket comes in on a Friday evening. That is the standard we hold all our client work to as well, not just our own product.
Support is part of the product
A salon owner does not care whether a problem is a bug, a misconfiguration or a question they should already know the answer to. They just need it solved, fast, in a language they are comfortable in. Running Solaryx ourselves means we take that call, which keeps us honest about how good our support actually needs to be.
