Ready to Boost Your Revenue? How Pet Manager’s Features Directly Impact Your Bottom Line

When you invest in new software for your pet care business, you’re probably focused on the immediate goals: saving time, getting organised, and reducing stress. These are all fantastic benefits, but have you thought about how the right software can directly increase your revenue and boost your profitability?

Pet Manager isn’t just an organizational tool; it’s a growth engine. Many of its features are specifically designed to help you capture more revenue, reduce missed opportunities, and increase the value of every single booking.

Let’s move beyond the idea of software as a simple expense and look at how Pet Manager becomes a revenue-generating asset for your business.

1. Perfect Pricing, Every Single Time

Incorrectly priced services are a silent killer of profit. Whether it’s forgetting to add a peak season surcharge or giving a discount that wasn’t warranted, these small leaks can add up to thousands of dollars a year.

• The Power of the Price Calculator: Pet Manager’s rules-based pricing engine is your secret weapon against lost revenue. You can automatically:
  • Implement Seasonal & Holiday Pricing: Set your peak rates for Christmas, school holidays, or long weekends well in advance. The system will automatically apply them to any booking that falls within those dates. No more manual checks.
  • Charge for What You’re Worth: Do you charge more for larger dogs? For intact males? For administering medication? You can build all these rules in. The system ensures these charges are never missed.
  • Late Checkout Fees: A common headache is clients picking up late. You can set a rule to automatically add a half-day or full-day charge if the checkout is after a certain time.
  • Tiered Long-Stay Discounts: Encourage longer, more valuable bookings by automatically applying discounts for stays over 7, 14, or 30 days.

A study by the Professional Pricing Society found that a 1% improvement in price realisation can increase operating profits by 11%. Pet Manager makes achieving that precision effortless.

2. Unlocking Upfront Revenue with Packages & Deposits

Cash flow is king in any business. Waiting to get paid until a service is complete can put a strain on your finances. Pet Manager has tools to get money in the door sooner.

• Sell Pre-Paid Packages: The packages and tokens feature is a cash-flow game-changer, especially for daycare and grooming. Sell a “10-Day Daycare Package” or a “5-Groom Pass” upfront. You get the full payment immediately, and the system seamlessly tracks the customer’s token usage. As a bonus, tokens aren’t available for use until the package is fully paid, protecting you from non-payment.
• Automate Booking Deposits: Secure your valuable peak season spots by requiring a deposit. Pet Manager can automatically calculate the required deposit amount (e.g., 50% of the booking total) and send an invoice. The system then tracks which bookings have paid their deposit and which are overdue, allowing you to follow up and either secure the booking or free up the spot for another client.

Just for a laugh: Selling packages is like your clients giving you an interest-free loan to fund their dog’s future fun. It’s a win-win!

3. Increasing the Value of Every Booking with Extras

The “do you want fries with that?” approach is one of the oldest and most effective sales tactics for a reason. Pet Manager makes it easy to upsell and add value to every booking.

• Easy Add-on Extras: During the booking process (both for staff and for clients in the portal), it’s simple to add on extras like a “Go-Home Bath,” an “Extra Playtime Session,” a “Gourmet Treat,” or a “Flea/Tick Preventative.”
• Booking-Linked Extras: For recurring daily services like medication administration, you can link the extra directly to the booking dates. If the client extends their pet’s stay by two days, the charge for medication is automatically added for those two extra days.
• Automatic Extras: You can even set up extras to be added automatically, like a complimentary bath for any boarding stay longer than 7 days.

These small add-ons might only be a few dollars each, but across hundreds or thousands of bookings, they can dramatically increase your average transaction value and overall revenue.

4. Reducing Costly No-Shows and Last-Minute Cancellations

An empty kennel or a missed grooming appointment is pure lost revenue. You can’t resell that time.

• Automated Reminders: Pet Manager’s automated email and SMS booking reminders are your first line of defense against no-shows. A simple text the day before a booking can reduce no-show rates by over 25% in some industries.
• Clear Cancellation Policies & Deposits: By using mandatory deposits and requiring clients to agree to your terms and conditions (which can be digitally signed), you can enforce your cancellation policy and retain non-refundable amounts to recoup some of the lost revenue.
