Grooming software for salons, mobile vans, or both
Some groomers work from a shop, some from a van, and plenty do both. Animal Friends OS runs a multi-groomer salon calendar and a van route board in the same account: breed profiles and recurring appointments for the shop, route ordering, ETA texts and per-stop payment for the van, and one client record behind both. Animal Friends OS is $69, $109 or $169 a month (month to month), plus a one-time $49 activation fee that covers carrier registration for texting and moving your existing clients and pets across. Every core feature is in every plan, with a 14-day free trial and no card required.
Every groomer’s day, side by side.
Each groomer has a column, appointments follow service-duration rules, and regulars can be put on 4, 6 or 8 week cycles that auto-book the next visit and send reminders.
Breed and coat notes
Breed, coat type, temperament, preferred styles and notes carry from visit to visit.
Before and after photos
Attach photos to every groom and send results to clients.
Team tracking
See dogs per groomer, average time per groom, revenue per groomer and client retention.
Payroll built in
Clock in and out, tips, commission and pay stubs, with QuickBooks sync.
A route board built for vans.
Stops are numbered in route order with drive time and miles to the next one. Press Optimise route and the day is re-ordered for the shortest total drive. Prefer your own order? Drag stops.
- Written turn-by-turn directions per leg, and a Navigate hand-off to your maps app
- ETA texts in one tap, from your business number
- Online booking hides times the van cannot reach between its other stops and turns away addresses outside your ZIP list or radius
- Rained-out and fill-the-gap suggestions that propose, but never move anything until you say so
- Fleet view: schedule by person or by van, with van records for mileage and service due
- Payment at the door: a terminal assigned to the van, a pay link, or cash and check with tip

Questions owners ask
Can one account run a salon and a mobile van?
Yes. The salon calendar and the van route board share one client and pet record, in one account.
Does it plan routes for me?
Yes. One tap re-orders the day for the shortest total drive and reports the miles and minutes saved. You can also drag stops into your own order. Optimization is on the web dashboard, not inside the phone app.
Can I text clients that I am on my way?
Yes. ETA texts go out in one tap from your business number. If a text cannot go, for example after an opt-out or outside texting hours, the app tells you.
How do I take payment at the door?
With a terminal assigned to the van, a pay link, or cash and check with tip and change. Tap to Pay on the phone is not available yet.
How much does it cost?
Animal Friends OS is $69, $109 or $169 a month (month to month), plus a one-time $49 activation fee that covers carrier registration for texting and moving your existing clients and pets across. Every core feature is in every plan, with a 14-day free trial and no card required.
Is there a separate mobile grooming page?
Yes. The mobile grooming software page goes deeper on routes, fleets and margins.
