Cloud-connected intelligence for modern tanning salons. Real-time room control, smart automation, and seamless operations - all in one platform.
Tanning salons have been running on the same disconnected systems for decades. Outdated hardware. Clunky POS terminals. Manual room control. No real-time data.
The T-Max Manager - the industry standard for room control - is aging, expensive (~$800), and unreliable. When it fails, operations grind to a halt.
It's time for a complete system overhaul.
A modern IoT device that replaces aging T-Max hardware and delivers fast, reliable control for every room in every salon.
The Honey Badger communicates with existing T-Max timer networks. Simply unplug your timer network from the T-Max Manager and plug it into the Honey Badger. Done.
Reports all timer statuses back to SunMule in real time, so you always know the exact status of every room. Session history logged forever.
Every Honey Badger comes with a comprehensive 5-year limited warranty. If your device fails under normal use, we ship a replacement at no cost.
Updates itself when necessary. No interaction required.
SunMule replaces your entire tech stack with a unified, cloud-powered platform. POS, EFT, room control, inventory, maintenance tracking, analytics, automation - all working together seamlessly.
