Four studios, one schedule — and the mat you buy at the desk ticks down inventory in real time.

The before — the schedule and the shop were strangers.

Halcyon's members move between locations, buy mats and merch on the way out, and expect their membership to just work. The tools didn't cooperate. "Mindbody knew about classes. Shopify knew about the retail wall. Neither knew about the other," says Maya Lindqvist, Founder. "A member would buy a class pack and a water bottle in the same breath, and those two facts lived in two systems that never spoke."

Inventory was the worst of it. Retail counts drifted because sales happened in a POS that didn't know studio stock existed, and reconciling four locations was a weekly chore nobody wanted.

The switch — off-peak, studio by studio.

Halcyon migrated during the slow mid-morning window, one studio at a time, so no class booking was ever at risk. Memberships and class history imported first; the retail catalog and payroll followed within the week.

"By the second studio the front-desk staff were teaching it to each other," Lindqvist says. "It looks like the schedule they already knew, except now the shop is part of it."

What got replaced

The unlock — one member, fully known.

With classes, memberships, and retail on one record, Halcyon finally sees the whole member:

• Class history and purchase history live on one profile, at every studio
• Retail stock counts update at the moment of sale — no weekly reconciliation
• Memberships, late-cancel fees, and merch all settle to the same ledger
• Payroll reads instructor hours from the class schedule automatically

The new normal — the desk runs itself.

"New front-desk hires used to need a week on two systems," Lindqvist says. "Now it's an afternoon on one. The schedule, the shop, the memberships — it's all the same screen. Our managers got their evenings back."
