Groomsoft

Description

Cloud pet-grooming management software to handle bookings, payments, reminders & mobile route-planning.

Groomsoft is a cloud-based tool built specifically for pet grooming businesses, used to manage appointments, customer & pet profiles, payments, and reminders via SMS or email. It also offers mobile grooming features like route optimization, “on my way” notifications, mileage tracking, address autocomplete, and map-based scheduling for groomers on the go.

Key Applications

Pet Grooming Business Management: Centralizes scheduling, client and pet records, service tracking, and point-of-sale (POS) transactions for grooming salons.
Appointment Scheduling & Reminders: Manages the grooming calendar, sends automated SMS/email reminders to clients, and tracks no-shows or cancellations.
Client & Pet Record Management: Maintains detailed profiles including vaccination records, grooming history, service preferences, and pet photos.
Specific Workflow: A client calls to book a grooming appointment; the receptionist checks the digital calendar, books the slot, and the system automatically sends a confirmation and a 24-hour reminder via text.

Who It’s For

This software is designed for pet grooming salon owners, managers, and receptionists. It solves the problem of managing a high-volume appointment book, tracking complex pet service details, and handling client communication manually. The primary buyer persona is a Grooming Salon Owner seeking to reduce no-shows, improve organization, and streamline daily operations to increase revenue and client retention.
