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.

How to Choose Software for Your Pet Business

Your pet-care software will be responsible for managing daily operations, finances, and customer communications, so selecting the right solution for your business is crucial. Here’s the top criteria for choosing your software and how Gingr delivers:

  • Simple, accessible online booking: Allow customers to book online at any time, reducing phone volume and avoiding double-booking. Gingr offers an intuitive customer portal and mobile app so pet parents can book at any time, from anywhere.
  • Streamlined check-in: Reduce front desk chaos and wait times, and ensure your records are up-to-date and accurate. With Gingr PreCheck, pet parents can complete a detailed check-in form before their appointment or drop-off time.
  • Integrated payments: An integrated payments solution streamlines your business’s cash flow, speeds up transaction times, and reduces time spent on manual reconciliations. Use Gingr Payments to securely accept both online and in-person payments and easily manage recurring billing.
  • Customizable memberships tool: Memberships drive customer loyalty and offer a reliable revenue stream, but managing them without the right technology can be a headache. Gingr allows you to create custom, tiered membership levels, automate payments and billing, and track your success with specialized membership reports.
  • Marketing and client engagement capabilities: Frequent, engaging communications are essential to recruit and retain customers. Gingr offers a full suite of email and SMS marketing tools so you can segment customers, share personalized messages, send updates and reminders, and more.

Additionally, consider the longevity of your solution. In other words, how much can you expand your business or customer base before needing to switch to a more robust solution? By choosing a scalable solution like Gingr, you can rest assured that your software can support growth and offer the tools needed to manage multiple locations.
