Automate Your Grooming Salon Workflows
Stop juggling clippers and phones. We build custom automation for MoeGo, Gingr, and DaySmart Pet to handle your rebooking, reminders, and add-on sales.
Pet grooming is a high-touch, labor-intensive industry where 'wet hands' often mean missed phone calls and lost revenue. When a groomer is mid-session with a reactive dog, they cannot stop to book a recurring appointment or upsell a de-shedding treatment. This manual friction leads to gaps in the calendar and inconsistent client retention, especially since most pets require grooming every 4 to 8 weeks to maintain health and coat quality.
With the average grooming session valued between $50 and $100, a single empty table per day can cost a salon over $20,000 in annual revenue. Furthermore, breed-specific timing is often ignored by generic booking tools—a Standard Poodle requires significantly more block-out time than a Beagle. Read Laboratories solves these bottlenecks by syncing your specialized software like MoeGo or PetExec with intelligent automation layers that respect your staff's time and the animals' welfare.
Problems We Solve
The 'No-Show' Revenue Gap
Automated multi-channel reminders via SMS and Email reduce no-shows by 40%, ensuring that $75/hour grooming slots don't go to waste.
Manual Rebooking Friction
Instead of waiting for clients to call, our workflows trigger rebooking prompts 3 weeks post-groom, securing the next $600-$1,200 in annual client value automatically.
Inaccurate Breed Scheduling
We implement logic that automatically adjusts appointment duration based on breed, weight, and coat condition, preventing groomer burnout and scheduling overlaps.
Missed Add-on Opportunities
Automated pre-appointment surveys suggest high-margin add-ons like blueberry facials or nail grinding based on the pet's history and previous skin issues.

Which grooming software do you work with?
We specialize in extending the capabilities of MoeGo, Gingr, PetExec, DaySmart Pet (123Pet), and even custom-built Square or Clover setups.

We can automate the request for updated records 7 days before an appointment and flag the booking for staff review if the documents aren't uploaded.
Does this work for mobile grooming businesses?
Absolutely. We can integrate route optimization tools like Route4Me or Workiz with your grooming software to minimize drive time between houses.
