What Solovi is
Solovi gives UK service businesses a website and tools for online bookings, payments, loyalty, gift cards, and local SEO.

The dashboard can be installed on a phone as a progressive web app and works offline. Solovi offers Android, iOS, and web access. Its plans include different support channels, from email on Solo to same-day phone and chat on Bespoke. Solovi says it uses security measures including HTTPS, hashed credentials, encrypted secrets at rest, and access logging, and that it does not sell personal data.
