About hello-groom

Hello-Groom is grooming business management software combining appointment scheduling, pet and client records, invoicing, online booking, messaging, payments, and employee tools, helping grooming teams coordinate customer interactions, track groomer activity, and manage daily operations with support and data transfer assistance.

Hello-Groom is designed specifically for grooming businesses, with features developed around feedback from grooming professionals. Its scheduling tools include color coding, multiple calendar views, appointment history, and a search for the next available appointment. Client management combines grooming notes, warnings, pet characteristics, vaccination status, photos, documents, contact details, and messaging history. Customers can use an online portal to add pets, upload vaccination evidence, review appointments, and request or schedule new visits, with optional approval requirements. Financial tools include invoicing, reporting, online deposits, text-to-pay, and stored customer cards through integrated payment processing. Communication combines two-way SMS and picture messaging with automated confirmations, vaccination reminders, and completion notifications. Employee tools cover appointment assignments, scheduling, grooming timers, time clock records, commissions, and tips. The optional Groomer-in-a-Box offering extends beyond software to setup and support involving payments, messaging, business insurance, and phone systems. Phone, chat, email, knowledgebase articles, and video tutorials provide support options, while data transfer assistance helps businesses move from previous software. The supplied material does not publish subscription prices, payment fees, messaging allowances, or named integration providers.
