The problem

Bookings, changes and cancellations were handled by hand across several apps. Every change had to be made in more than one place, so double bookings and lost details kept happening.

What I built

  • 01A chat assistant that asks for the pet's breed, size and service needed
  • 02New and returning customers saved automatically
  • 03A check that the groomer is free before every booking
  • 04Appointments added straight to the groomer's calendar
  • 05Changes and cancellations updated everywhere at once

What changed

  • Customers can book, change or cancel any time, in chat
  • No double bookings
  • One up-to-date record of every customer, pet and appointment
