5 Key Benefits of Gingr’s Pet Business Software

As mentioned, Gingr is an intuitive solution that helps you save time on administrative tasks, drive efficiency, and boost revenue. Here’s a deeper dive into the benefits of using Gingr:

The five benefits of using Gingr’s pet business software (detailed in text below).

1. Efficient Operation Management

Gingr allows pet-care businesses to manage their services more efficiently. Easily manage customer accounts, schedule appointments, and track billing and payments all in one place. This streamlined process saves time and reduces the chances of errors.

2. Enhanced Communication with Customers

Gingr offers built-in customer communication features that allow pet-care businesses to stay in touch with customers. Send automated emails and texts about appointments, pet updates, and promotional messages. For example, pet grooming businesses can share pictures of pets after they receive their grooming services via SMS. Enhanced communication can then lead to improved customer satisfaction and loyalty, driving sustainable revenue for your business..

3. Improved Pet Care

Gingr's all-in-one software allows pet-care businesses to track pet health records, vaccinations, allergies, and dietary needs. Collecting and consolidating this helpful information ensures that each pet receives individualized care that meets their unique needs.

For example, keep everyone safe and healthy with Gingr’s vaccination tracking. Both you and your customer can update vaccination records. Then, Gingr does the rest by emailing customers when vaccinations are about to expire and warning them of expired vaccinations for a pet entering your facility. Quickly send emails to anyone with pending or current expirations.

Pet-care businesses can also use the software to log special requests or notes about each pet, ensuring a more personalized experience.

4. Increased Security

Gingr has advanced security measures to protect all customer data, including encryption technology and secure servers. Your pet-care business can rest assured that its business and customer data are safe.

With PCI-compliant, point-to-point encryption, you never have to worry about data security. Customers can safely keep encrypted payment options on file.

5. Valuable Analytics and Reporting

Gingr provides valuable analytics that help pet-care businesses make informed business decisions. You can use this data to improve business operations and boost revenue.

Analyze reports on every aspect of your business to make data-driven decisions. Gingr makes it easy to draw insights from: 

  • Financial reports (e.g., revenues, taxes, commissions, and tips)
  • Daily operational reports (e.g., feeding, medications)
  • User success reports (e.g., user logs, birthdays, vaccination status) 

Additionally, future revenue and occupancy estimators help you grow your business by making data-backed predictions about your trajectory.
