Fred co-founded The MIKAL Corporation in 1981 with the goal of designing a powerful PC-based software program for the Beauty Industry. Fred studied the market, saw the need for systems, and the potential for growth. He dedicated his new company to designing the ultimate Salon Management System (SMS). At the time there was no software available for the industry. Slowly MIKAL grew as the first visionary salons embraced the new technology of computers. MIKAL=s thrust has always been to provide not only the ultimate software for the Beauty Industry, but also the finest training, support, and management education. This emphasis lead MIKAL to grow into the most successful salon automation company in the beauty industry. Fred=s commitment to the industry has driven him to write numerous articles for Salon Today, Salon Ovations, Hair & Beauty News, and many other trade publications. Fred has also given computerization and business management seminars at the International Beauty Show, the MidWest Beauty Show, ACTS, the Premier Show, and numerous other shows. Fred provides more than forty education classes each year. MIKAL=s software has received the CRN Star Software Award and the VarBusiness Solutions Award from the Computer Industry. Fred continues to lead the industry in automation and business management. He hosts two national User Group Meetings each year and continues to speak and write on the topics of salon/spa automation and business management. His recent seminars have taken him as far away as Alaska and his latest and greatest software system, SMS V - The next generation in salon management, has just been released with the first module On-Line Appointment Booking! Fred was just featured and quoted in Reseller Management, the foremost trade publication for software companies selling specific solutions to businesses. Fred=s newest area of development is in the area of recreating the Spa and Salon position of Receptionist into a new, income creating position called a Preceptionist. Fred has just published a booklet on the topic and is working with trade magazines on developing articles supporting the new Preceptionist position!
