Mobile grooming

Mobile dog grooming software that plans the route for you

Define where you work, price the drive, and let The Grooming App line up your stops so more of the day is grooming and less of it is driving.

The Grooming App schedule on a phone for a mobile groomer

Your van is your shop. Your schedule should know that.

Mobile grooming lives and dies on the map. Book two clients on opposite sides of town and the afternoon is gone. The Grooming App lets you draw the zones you serve, assign mobile days to those zones, and only offer clients times that make sense for the route.

When the day's appointments are set, route optimization orders the stops, estimates drive time, and builds arrival windows you can share with clients. Drag a stop to reorder it and the route recalculates.

Mobile grooming

What you can do

Service zones

Draw the areas you serve on a map. Clients outside your zones are not offered mobile appointments.

Travel fees

Set a base travel fee, a per-mile rate and a maximum travel distance so every long drive is paid for.

Route optimization

Let The Grooming App order the day's stops, or drag them into your own order and recalculate.

Arrival windows

Give clients a realistic arrival window instead of a promise you cannot keep. You choose the window width.

Mobile days by zone

Assign groomers to zones on specific days so online booking only offers mobile times that fit.

Vehicles and capacity

Set the number of vehicles, daily appointment capacity, drive time and buffers between stops.
