Savvy's help and support is/has been fantastic. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have all been a great help in getting us set up and importing our data (600+ customers and 800+ pets) and every question I have has been answered very quickly even outside business hours. The community built around Savvy is an invaluable resource allowing you to get ideas off other people using the software as well as the fantastic support by Savvy themselves.

PROS

Savvy has a very clean well thought out interface that's very simple to use without compromising on features that its more establish competitors have. Appointment creation is very quick and automatically sends out sms & email notifications, which can be fully customised. We can have the calendar setup exactly how we want with the colors we want. Savvy is not plastered with over complex interface to incorporate additional features we don't want. None of them silly you can't do this without spending more money messages. There's no need for any goomer to look at any other software Savvy is the one.

CONS

Do I need to fill this box in?... ok then. The android app (Dont have iphone so couldn't tell you about that) appears to be a little behind with some of the newer features, however its a responsive webapp therefore just using your browser works perfectly, kinda makes me wonder why bother with an app. Savvy is currently very focused on grooming and does not currently offer daycare, boarding or kennel modules, however i'm pretty sure it could work for daycare and basic boarding if required. This is exactly why we love the software because it's not plastered with over complex interface to incorporate features we don't want.

Reason for choosing Savvy Pet Spa

I spent a long time evaluating other providers such as 123 Pet, Shake Your Tail, Revelation Pets and MoeGo and none of them could fully fulfill our requirements like Savvy does with shared customer database across multiple salons, customizable automated SMS & emails, digital contract signing. All this with a company that actually wants to be a toolset to support our business the way we want to run it and allowing us to implement any changes inline with our working practices on our terms.

Reasons for switching to Savvy Pet Spa

We have had issues with the way our old provider supports us for some time and I don't thing here is the correct place to go into details except to say it left us very nervous utilising a tool set so critical to our business operations. We then went on to setup a second salon with separate business contact details but with a crossover in catchment area and that could not be supported in the way we wanted with our old software provider.

Hi Pete, Thanks so much for giving us your take on how we are doing. We're glad that customers like you are having a great experience! Jess @SavvyPetSpa

Savvy is the business!

I will be using Savvy for the life of my business. I absolutely love it and recommend it to all my fellow groomers!

PROS

I love the detailed customer and pet information capabilities, ease of booking, and how easy it is to customize to suit my needs. I have almost no No-Shows thanks to the sms features. As a home based groomer, I was able to customize to send appointment details specific to my business, as well as an automated message with the address for new clients. All I have to do is hit one button and they get all the information they need. Reminders go out automatically the day before a scheduled appt but can be set to go out at any interval. I am a single home based groomer and this suits my needs perfectly with the least expensive tier, which is only $20 per month. The included monthly sms credits have always been plenty and I haven't needed to purchase extra. You can also customize and edit emails specific to your business and send them automatically to clients. Customer service has always been timely and are ALWAYS super nice to me and resolve any issues or answer any questions very quickly.

CONS

The only issue that I had, was that the company is based out of the UK and the default settings are not what are generally used in the US. I needed to update settings from BP to USD, appointment times in texts were listed in 24HR time, and the UK lists dates as DD/MM/YY instead of MM/DD/YY and I was worried it would be a bit confusing for clients. They were very helpful and fixed all the settings for me very quickly however. Again, their customer service has been wonderful. The time difference has never been a problem for communication.

Reason for choosing Savvy Pet Spa

All the features I wanted at a price I could afford.

Reasons for switching to Savvy Pet Spa

I was looking for specific features that would fit in my budget. The other programs were either too expensive or didn't have the features I wanted.

Please do not waste your time on this system

I have lost all access to my gmail account due to this system, I tried to advise them when I first started out that the website was unresponsive while using on my phone so it was randomly creating appointments where they shouldn’t be and blocking out the wrong time, there are so may bugs in the system it’s is unbelievable and the customer service is awful, their answer to everything is to try and blame you for the system faults and have not intentions of fixing anything. They have a recurring booking which you can switch on when you first set up your initial booking, you can then create as many forward appointments as you like, when I tried to hit the create button it was not working, so I hit the create and confirm which then send out 12 email appointment confirmations in separate emails through my gmail account to my customer using the savvyspas email address as the sender not my gmail account address, this is a violation of google mail usage and is regarded as spamming, it’s also wrong, I am not savvy spa that’s not my business name it’s misleading, it’s trying to make all individual business look like there business name is savvy spa, it’s a violation of my brand. Why would you create a system function that would send out an email for each individual appointment? the rebooking function should not be there as a tool to force your customer to pre agree to a load of bookings, it’s supposed to be for the business owner to manage the diary slots in bulk, not manage the customer in bulk, you would only need the customer to agree to the appointment that is coming up, a logical system would then send the next appointment out on completion of the previous booking making life easier for the business owner. There is absolutely no reason to have the need for you client to pre confirm any appointment more than the one that is coming up and I was absolutely shocked this function even exited, could you imagen getting 12 emails from a business asking to to pre confirm all your appointments, especially from an email address that you had never heard of, my mind was blown, I advised them they needed to change this function so it won’t happen to any one else, their response was it was my fault because I hit the create and confirm button instead of the just create button, the create button was not working because it was unresponsive so I used the create and confirm button thinking it wound just create and confirm the initial booking not send out 12 emails that would be crazy, who in there right mind would want that function. So now none of my customers can contact me on my business email, if they do I just won’t see it and I do the majority of communication on this email, I have had to go through social media and my website to change my email address so any new customers will be able to contact me, I have a load of printed marketing and business cards out which have that email address on, it’s also my google business listing email which means if google do not reverse this restriction I will loose it all, I have been investing in google ads so this is going to be devastating to my business profile online and I will have lost a lot of money. The company don’t seem to care so if you are thinking about signing up to the software just to let you know, the app is not working. It’s redundant, using the website on your phone browser is unresponsive, it only works on desktop, beware of hidden functions that send out spammy emails to your customers using there company email as the sender, apparently you can go and change the email to your own, why is that function even there ? What business wants someone else’s company name plastered as the sender on their company emails, just use the actual company’s email that they supply you with for all emails

PROS

Nothing the system is unresponsive on mobile and the app is not working

CONS

The system is unresponsive when using on your mobile through a browser and the app dose not work at all

Reason for choosing Savvy Pet Spa

The reviews looked good and they advertised about having a mobile app
