For mobile team owners
Run multiple grooming vans without losing the day.
OpenDog helps an owner or dispatcher see who is going where, which dogs need attention, what is paid, and what still needs follow-up before the routes get busy.
- Groomers, vans, and stops in one view
- Route review before changes are made
- Pet notes and payment status stay close
Owner visibility
See the visit that still needs attention.
OpenDog keeps the pet, client, assigned groomer, service, payment status, route-review state, and appointment action visible so an owner can review the day without guessing.
See the team day before vans leave.
When more than one groomer is moving, the owner needs a clear view of assigned stops, route status, service-area flags, pet notes, and payment context before the morning turns into phone calls.
- Review each groomer and van route in one dispatch board.
- See drive estimates and saved stop-order context where route tools are configured.
- Keep route changes review-first; OpenDog does not make automatic dispatch decisions.
Give each groomer the right appointment context.
OpenDog keeps the dog, client, service, appointment window, assigned team member, service-area state, and invoice status close to the visit so handoffs do not depend on memory.
- Help groomers walk into the stop with the details they need.
- Let the owner spot unpaid or unreviewed appointments earlier.
- Keep client and pet records tied to the route day.
Review requests without losing route control.
New work can be checked against service area, timing, dog details, and the route before it becomes a confirmed appointment. The business owner still decides what goes on the calendar.
- Use request details before saying yes.
- Review route fit before confirming a stop.
- Keep the calendar controlled by the business, not by automatic booking.
Follow up from the appointment, not a side list.
Invoices, deposits with your setup, balances, receipts, and rebooking follow-up stay connected to the appointment. Reports help owners review activity and payment status, but OpenDog is not payroll, GPS tracking, or profit-analysis software.
- Track what needs payment follow-up.
- Review the next visit while the dog context is still visible.
- Use reports for owner visibility without inventing financial guarantees.
FAQ
Common questions from grooming businesses.
Can OpenDog support more than one groomer or van?
Yes. OpenDog can show assigned groomers, vehicle or route context where configured, appointment windows, pet details, service-area status, and payment status in the working schedule and dispatch views.
Does OpenDog automatically dispatch or optimize the team?
No. OpenDog gives owners route context, drive estimates, saved stop-order tools, and review actions. The owner or manager decides what changes to apply.
Does OpenDog include GPS tracking, payroll, or profit analysis?
No. OpenDog focuses on grooming operations: appointments, customer and pet records, route review, request control, invoices, payments, reports, and rebooking follow-up.
What can the owner review at the end of the day?
Owners can review appointment activity, invoice and payment status, balances, pet and client context, and follow-up work. Accounting, payroll, tax, and profitability decisions stay outside OpenDog.
