Challenge
In the chain of beauty salons, there is a need to rent workplaces for specialists as well as to place advertising products. A beauty shop network can contain a quite large number of centers with even more workplaces and advertising stations inside, each of them having its own cost and rental terms. Any downtime in the rental time means business loss of profit and loss of business opportunities, as well as suboptimal use of funds. It can be hard to provide this amount of data.
So, the key challenge was to combine data detail with visual clarity. That is why we decided to use our complex Webix Gantt widget and help many of our clients who own a chain of salons by showing how it can be customized for an online salon management system.

Solution
The development team was tasked with visualizing and optimizing these stations for each of the beauty shop centers. There was a need to offer a software solution that would simultaneously see the full number of workplaces and advertising station load for each of the beauty shop centers (companies), and at the same time, allow you to see a detailed picture of the loading of each workplace and advertising station in the form of a timeline.
You will say that the standard solution to the problem is a dashboard with visualized different graphs and charts by analytics and metrics. But the dashboard is aimed at displaying the overall picture, it does not give us enough detail in the section: a specific beauty center, a specific workplace, a specific time period. Or a particular beauty island, a specific advertising board, and a specific period of time. How many charts would have to be implemented? And what flexible settings should be implemented to allow for a new object to have a relevant analysis before your eyes? Too many questions with no answers.
Further, for us, it was absolutely obvious that creating a new widget from scratch makes no sense: it is often too long and expensive. What if we take a long-known and well-known Webix Gantt chart widget?
Complex Gantt JavaScript widget is perfectly suitable for such tasks. Using the standard version, we decided to develop a custom solution.
