K9 Bytes Software - State-of-the-art software for the pet care industry

Grooming

Grooming is a major part of the K9 Koordinator. With direct feedback from several boarding kennels and grooming shops around the nation we offer a complete solution for any type of grooming service you might want to offer: small grooming shops, huge grooming kennels, mobile grooming, among many others

Groomers Vacancy Screen

A receptionist booking reservations can visualize how many grooms each groomer has within a week, how many baths and hair cuts, and how much time approximately has been already booked in each day.

Grooming Time

During set up you can specify how many hours of work each breed roughly represents. There are grooming modifiers that can be specified; such as Bad Shape or Good Shape, which can be used to modify the base time (for example, a bad shape pet will be double the base time, and good shape half). During set up, you can specify a charge per hour of work and the system will smartly add the modifier, the breed, and the base time to calculate your approximated total

Groomer

Preferred Groomer

Each pet can be assigned a preferred groomer. Preferred groomers will be loaded as default groomers when making a reservation. Groomers have daily limits based on number of pets or breeds they can do in a day, if booking a reservation would be violating this daily limit a message will appear alerting the receptionist, he can then check the availability screen for other convenient time/day for the same or different groomers

Groomer Priority By Breed

Certain groomers have expertise with different breeds; for example, if only a specific employee knows how to groom Standard Poodles he will be selected as default when making grooming reservations
