Business app
Run your studio from your phone with the Arketa business app — insights, schedule, clients, and messaging — plus mobile web for deeper reporting.
Yes, you can run your studio from your phone — and the best way to do it depends on what you're trying to do. Arketa gives you two mobile options that serve different purposes.
Business app
Download from the App Store or Google Play.
The business app helps you manage your studio anytime, anywhere — right from your phone. It's fast enough for quick actions on the floor and gives you a live view of how the business is doing without sitting down at a computer. The app is organized into four areas:
Home page
Business insights and recent transactions at a glance.
Schedule
Run today's classes and appointments in real time.
Client list
Search your client base and manage engagement.
Inbox
Group chats, SMS, and email in one place.
Which tabs a team member sees in the business app depends on their role. The Inbox tab appears only for roles that include messaging access — for example Admin, Owner, and Manager, or a custom role you've granted inbox access. A Front Desk role won't see the Inbox tab. If a team member is missing Inbox, sign in with an owner or admin account, or update their role under Staff → Team → Roles & Permissions.
Home page
The app opens to a Home page that surfaces business insights at your fingertips — not just floor tools. Insight charts give you a visual breakdown of how your studio is performing:
- Gross sales
- New customers
- New memberships
- Total active memberships
- Class attendance
- Class bookings
- Video views
The Home page also includes a Transactions list. Tap into it to view client payments, refund an individual payment, or resend a client's receipt — all from your phone.
Schedule
Stay on top of your daily operations from a streamlined schedule view. From the schedule you can:
- Create new appointments directly from the calendar
- Manage classes and appointments in real time
- Check a client into a class
- View today's class schedule
- See who's scheduled for an appointment
- Mark a no-show
- Add a drop-in on the spot
- Add or remove clients who have existing packages or unpaid bookings
- Send waivers directly to clients
Client list
Your clients, all in one place. From the app you can:
- View and search your entire client base
- Tap into any client to access their key details quickly
- Manage client engagement with just a few taps
Inbox
Keep all your client communication in one place:
- Manage group chats with your community
- Send and receive SMS messages with clients
- Send and track emails directly through the app
Mobile web
Open dashboard.arketa.com in any mobile browser.
The full Arketa dashboard works on any mobile browser. Use this when you need to do more analytical or administrative work — the kind of tasks that require the complete platform.
What you can do on mobile web:
- Pull reports and review analytics
- Analyze revenue by instructor or class type
- Understand what's driving revenue
- Review retention and client behavior
- Manage payroll and compensation
Which one to use
A simple way to think about it:
| I want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Check someone in, run today's schedule, add a drop-in | Business app |
| Check business insights, message a client, refund a payment | Business app |
| Pull a revenue report, review payroll, analyze retention | Mobile web |
App = managing your studio on the go. Mobile web = deep reporting, analytics, and payroll.
Both are the right tool — just for different moments.
The business app covers most of your day-to-day — floor operations, business insights, client management, and messaging. For deep reporting, detailed analytics, or payroll, open the dashboard in your mobile browser.
