Complete helpguide





You can configure the most important aspects of your country/region:

  • Select the country from the list

  • Select the time zone from the list

    Check that you have correctly configured the time on your device (computer, mobile phone, tablet) because the software will use that time for appointments, agenda, etc.

  • Select the language in which the software will be displayed

  • Set the currency of your country: you can use symbols (for example €, $, ...) or the currency abbreviation (for example EUR, USD,. ..)

  • Set the applicable tax and percentage in your country to all your services

    note: In countries where multiple taxes apply, you can set up a general tax name or a combined tax name and add both taxes together. For example, for Quebec, you can configure the tax with the name TPS-TVQ, TAX or similar and that the percentage is the sum of both taxes (The TPS and the TVQ)

It's very important that you first configure the general tax and then configure your services or rates, since they will all have the same tax that you have configured in this option.

  • If in this option you have the general tax configured as 0 %

  • Later, you configure a new hairdressing service, hotel, ... that service will also have the tax at 0 %

  • If in the future, you modify the general tax and change it for example by 7%, this will not be changed in the services or rates that you already had configured

  • The new services you add have a 7% tax


If you have mistakenly configured your services or rates, contact us so that we can help you modify it.



Here you can configure the data of your company and thus you will not have to insert the data every time a document or an invoice is generated; the software will automatically fill them in for you.


  1. Business name, ID, Address, ZIP code, City, State, and contact data (phones, emails,..): You can configure the name of your company, the identification number, and the location and contact information. These are the data that will appear on the invoices.

  2. Logos:

    You can include two different logos:

    • The principal logo shown in the software

    • The printed logo will appear in the printed documents *

    • The supported image formats are: jpeg, jpg, gif and png

    • The maximum size allowed for images is: 1000 x 1000 pixels (width x height)

    • The maximum weight of the images is 1 MB

    If the software does not allow you to upload an image, you can use any image converter.


  3. Text on invoices without taxes:If in your country/activity there are situations in which the invoices are tax-exempt (such as in the case where it is applicable to issue the invoice without VAT for Intra-Community) you can include an additional text that will only appear on tax-exempt invoices.

  4. Printed documents footer:You can include a text at the bottom of the page for all summary documents and invoices. It is useful to include legal information, some clarification about your business policy, etc. It will appear on the invoices, in the appointment/booking, check-in/check-out, services/etc. summary documents

  5. Pie emails: Using the software you can send emails to confirm/cancel an appointment/booking, an online appointment/booking, send a ticket/invoice, etc. With this information, you can configure a text that will appear in those emails.

When you click on an employee in the list, all the information appears:

At the top there are 2 buttons:

  • Quick actions or "shortcuts": add a new animal for that client, make an appointment, print the information, ...

  • show / hide the right side menu to expand the workspace

Using the quick access buttons, it is possible: send an email, call or open whatsapp to talk to him/her; click on the corresponding icon (envelope, phone, Whatsapp ...)

You can write down more phones and more emails for a customer. By clicking on the "more information" icon, new fields appear to record these data.

If in your grooming or training business, you pay a percentage of the services doing to an employee, for example 30%, you can write down that percentage here and in this way, you will not have to remember it.

To see the services that an employee of your pet training pet grooming business has doing, you only have to access the Services and billing by employee report and by selecting that date range you will see the number of services and the amount of those services. In this way, it will be very easy for you to calculate the amount that corresponds to you for these services.

Additionally, you will be able to know the average time it took to perform them and when was the last service doing by that employee.

You can configure the next invoice number to be issued, and the software assigns that number to the following ones, this way the invoices are correctly numbered.

For example, if you start using the software now and this year you have already generated 25 invoices, if you want the next one to be number 26 (to be correlated), then write 26.

This numbering does not reset at the end of the month or the year. It will always continue with the numbering of the last invoice.

To configure a different numbering for the Refund invoices, click on "Yes" and the configuration options will appear.

You can configure if you want to add a prefix before the numbers for Invoices and Refund Invoices, so you can choose if you want the invoice number:

  • Do not have prefix. For example, the invoice number will be 000042

  • Have the prefix that you want: For example the prefix INV . In this case, the invoice number will be INV.000042

    * The maximum prefix size is 10 characters

  • Have the prefix Year.Month: In April (month 4) of 2021, the prefix will be 2021.04.000042


As you can see, on the right side of the screen, there is a previewer, which allows you to see how the next invoice number and nex refund invoice numer will look, depending on the configuration you choose.

You can modify the passwords to access the software. You just have to type the current password and the new one.

Additionally, for security reasons:

  • You will have to type the new password twice. In this way, we avoid typing errors.

  • The software will show if that password has a low, medium or high security level. To make it easier, you can see it by red, orange or green colors.

  • New password: Type the new password you want to use

  • Old password: If you have used the "Remember password" option, write the password you received by email


  • Must be at least 10 characters

  • Must contain at least one UPPERCASE and one LOWERCASE character

  • Must include at least one number

  • Must include at least one symbol

For your security and the security of your data, it is very important that you have good habits with the passwords of the different accounts/services that you use:

  • Change passwords frequently

  • Never use the same password on multiple sites or services

  • Do not share passwords with others or write them down, especially near the device

  • Change default passwords for devices and online services.

We have collected different security tips and created a mini help guide with useful security tips. We recommend that you read it.

Security recommendations



From time to time, the password will expire. That is, you will have to change it to a new password.
If the software displays the message that the password has expired, you just have to change it to a new password and you will be able to continue working normally.
We know that this can be annoying, but our goal is to keep you and your data safe



Information about the storage capacity of external files (when you include a scanned document or a photo of a customer, animal, ...) in the software.

You can also view the number of emails sent and the number of emails still available to send.

This amount is limited monthly to contribute to the responsible sending of emails and avoid mass mailing or SPAM, so on the 1st of each month, this "counter" will be back to 0.

You will receive a notice when you are reaching the credit limit available to send more emails. You can buy extra credit that will allow you to send more emails. To do so, access the software by clicking on the icon to buy bad email credit.

Email consumption: Every time you send an email from the software (confirmation or cancellation of online reservations, booking confirmation, invoice/ticket, automatic recall, etc.), 1 unit will be added to the emails consumed.

If you also want to send an email to your email address (checking the option "send a copy"), an email will also be sent to this address and another unit will be added to the emails consumed.

As you know, all commercial communications must have been previously requested or expressly consented by the recipient (the user), unless there is a prior commercial relationship or has been obtained from public sources freely accessible.
Everything else, as well as the massive and systematic sending of emails, is considered SPAM and as such, is subject to sanctions.
Before sending emails to your users and/or customers, make sure you have their acceptance and still try to send "responsible" emails.
It is not the same to send an email with a reminder of an appointment that the user and/or customer has requested, with an invoice or with information relevant to a service, to send monthly newsletters or advertising mails.
Although a user has given his consent to send advertising emails, remember not to send too many emails or not relevant information to them. Try to make a responsible or reasonable mailing.


When you send an email from the software, the software will check in the GDPR section of your record, if the customer has accepted the reception of communications or notices and if not expressly accepted, it will show you a warning.

The system uses responsive design, meaning the form adjusts to the size of the device (computer, mobile, or cell phone, ...) so that it always displays correctly.

You can see the appearance of the automatic reminders that will be sent from the software to remind the customer of an upcoming appointment/booking at your grooming/pet trainning school/pet hotel/pet nursery.

If you make a change and click on Save, when you return to this screen, you will see that the Preview has changed and now it shows the changes you just made.

Important: The changes you make to the logo, company name, email footer and template will be applied to the next reminders you schedule, that is, they will NOT affect the ones you already had scheduled.

If the appointment has reminders scheduled and you change the date or time, the reminders are not deleted; A notice appears at the top of the screen: "The appointment has pending reminders to send." So you can keep the reminders or delete them and create new reminders.

For example:

  • The appointment was scheduled for day 23 at 10:00 and you scheduled an automatic reminder.

  • Now you change the appointment for day 23 at 12:00 (2 hours later)

  • The automatic reminder will not be modified because it was already programmed. In the email that the customer will receive, it will continue showing that the appointment is for day 23 at 10:00.

If you want, you can delete that reminder and schedule a new one.

The CODE is not automatic or corrective, it is a free code, that is, you can use the code or reference that you want, (like a barcode but for your services). You can simply be a number (1, 2,3, ...) or a special code by categories, what you consider best,   for example:

  • H01 Single room

  • H02 VIP Room

  • T01 Trasport

  • E01 Extra: camera service in the room

  • A01: Special food supplement  


The PRICES:

  • If you type the base price (or price without tax), it automatically calculates the sale price   (or final price including taxes) based on the percentage configured tax.

  • If you type the sale price (or final price including taxes), it automatically calculates the base price (or price without taxes) based on the tax percentage configured.

  • The % TAX is the same as you have configured in the Configuration > Language/Currency


The services can be deleted, except the services "you are using". If you have booking/check-in/check-outs .. that include the service for example "Basic stay", you can not delete that service from the list, because it would also be deleted from those booking/check-in ...

  • Click on the Save button



If the % of taxes has changed? What I can do?How can I modify it in the software ?:


For example, the new % TAX is the 8%, to change it:

  • Access to the Settings > Language/Currency/Taxes option

  • Write the new VAT, for example 8%

  • Access to the Settings > Hotel services option

    In the services that you had configured before and that you have already billed, you cannot change the %VAT.

    You can change the name, or de price but cannot change the %VAT, because this would affect the invoices and the reports.

  • If you are no longer going to use them, you can mark them as Inactive.

    If it's marked as "inactive", will not be available when making a new booking or check-in, for example, but since it hasn't been removed, you'll keep all your previous sales history and reports.

  • Add the services, now the %TAX for this services is 8%.
