FAQ

Common Questions

Straight answers from an operator who uses this software daily.

How many stations can I create?

Unlimited. Create as many named stations as your salon has — bathing bays, tables, drying kennels, crates.

Can different groomers see their own station assignments?

Yes. Each staff member sees their assigned dogs and stations on their personal daily view.

Does this replace a paper whiteboard?

That's exactly the goal. One shared live screen — phone, tablet, or monitor — replaces the whiteboard entirely.

What happens if I need to move a dog mid-appointment?

Drag the dog to a new station in seconds. The timer follows and the status updates for everyone.

Can I see historical station data?

Yes. The utilisation report goes back 12 months so you can spot trends and plan expansions confidently.
