Groomsoft
What it is
Groomsoft is web-based software for managing a pet grooming business. Its appointment calendar supports online booking, recurring appointments, business hours, days off, waiting lists, groomer scheduling, and automated email reminders for paid subscribers. Payment tools handle card processing, card-on-file storage, paperless billing, and plug-and-play terminals. Mobile groomers get route optimization, mileage tracking, live-traffic maps, and notifications telling customers when the groomer is on the way. Customer and pet profiles include tags, appointment histories, notes, unlimited pet photo uploads, and vaccination alerts. Appointments can sync with Google Calendar, while MailChimp supports email marketing. Paid plans include 100 free text appointment reminders; additional messages use SMS packs and stop at a zero balance unless auto-reload is enabled. Groomsoft offers a 30-day free demo, paid plans from $29.95 per month, monthly or annual billing without a contract, and cancellation at any time. Customer and pet data can be imported free from another provider.

The verdict
Groomsoft covers appointment, pet-record, payment, and mobile-grooming workflows from the web. Its 30-day demo allows evaluation, but ongoing use requires a paid plan and SMS management.
