The Belbo Team

Our History

Belbo has two roots: zeitfest in Berlin and Hairlist in Lucerne. Since 2019, both have been working together on a software.

Where the name comes from

La belle and le beau, French for "the beautiful woman" and "the beautiful man," combine to form Belbo: a nod to our origins in the beauty industry.

  1. 2011Founding in BerlinBelbo started in Berlin in 2011 under the name zeitfest, as software for hairdressers. Soon, beauticians approached us on their own, and later the first fitness studios. That is how we grew: together with the businesses that use it every day.
  2. 2012Hairlist in LucerneIn Lucerne, Hairlist is being developed, a software for hair salons in Switzerland. The team recognizes that we are already building a great solution in Berlin and wants to make it successful in Switzerland as well.
  3. 2014The point of sale systemWe're kicking off with our own point-of-sale system. Since then, appointments have been checked out directly from the calendar, without a second system and without double entry.
  4. 2015Belbo is the new name for zeitfestWith the new name, the offering grows beyond the calendar. Gradually, customer database, staff scheduling, marketing, and online shop are added, all at the request of our customers.
  5. 2019Berlin and LucerneThe team in Lucerne is now also called Belbo, and the collaboration between Berlin and Lucerne is becoming closer.
  6. 2020BeneluxWith Belbo Benelux in Sint-Niklaas, an independent partner is joining. Belbo is now also at home in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and the software speaks Dutch.
  7. 2024BoostieWith Boostie, Belbo gets its first AI marketing assistant. It prepares mailings, voucher designs, and texts for campaigns, leaving more time for customers in the daily salon routine.
  8. 202615 years of BelboFor its birthday, Belbo goes AI-ready: Through MCP integration, companies can connect assistants like Claude directly to their Belbo. And Belbo Kasse launches in Austria.
