For shops and services

Animiyo for pet shops

One workspace for the counter and for the diary: products, orders and deliveries on one side, grooming and boarding on the other, with the same customer record and the same animal the owner already keeps up to date in their own application.

Selling pet products means thin margins and customers who buy out of habit. The risk is not losing a sale, it is failing to notice that a regular customer has stopped coming back. Service businesses have the mirror image of that problem: the diary fills up verbally, health requirements for boarding are checked in a notebook, prices change and end up written in three different places.

The features below address exactly those two things. The retail side holds catalogue, orders, deliveries and subscriptions, and estimates when a customer should reorder based on what they bought and how many animals they have. The services side holds the grooming diary and the boarding diary, with kennel availability counted night by night and health requirements verified before admission.

What is already here today

The cards are generated from the catalogue by filtering the entries relevant to retail and services. As with the clinical area, almost everything lives in the web application: back office work is done on a large screen, and the iOS app does not cover this side today.

Included in the free plan

These counts are generated from the feature catalogue: they only include entries that are already live on at least one platform and already described in the language you are reading. No line of this list is written by hand, so when a feature changes status the page changes with it, and anything still under construction does not appear at all.

How you get started

The shop workspace also goes through a human check before it becomes operational. The moment you handle orders, bookings and customer records you become the data controller for that data, and the relationship with Animiyo is governed by the data processing agreement.

  1. 1

    Create the account and sign in

    Registration is the ordinary platform one. At first the account has no commercial role and sees no restricted section.

  2. 2

    Register the shop

    From the shop area you enter the business name. The workspace is created in trial status and you are recorded as its owner, but you do not receive any operational permission yet.

  3. 3

    Wait for activation

    A platform administrator reviews the request and allocates the licence, with plan, number of seats and an optional expiry date. From then on the account receives the shop role and the link to the workspace.

  4. 4

    Set up catalogue, prices and storefront

    You load products with price and stock, set the delivery slots, define the service price list and publish the storefront, which is the public page of the shop and is also reachable from the business directory.

What is not here yet

The gaps to know about before you rest a business on this. They are real, not stylistic reservations.

  • No link to the point of sale

    The platform does not replace the till and does not issue fiscal documents. Counter sales stay in the point of sale system you already use: what Animiyo holds is the order, the subscription and the customer history.

  • No supplier synchronisation

    Prices and stock are updated inside the platform. There is no automatic link to distributor price lists or warehouses, and no periodic import of an external catalogue.

  • Activation is not immediate

    Between registering the shop and working in it there is a manual licence allocation. You cannot open a working commercial workspace on your own in a few minutes.

  • No iOS app for management

    Catalogue, orders, diaries and price lists are managed from the web application. The iOS app today covers the pet owner side, not the shop side.

A concrete way to try it

Load part of the catalogue, set the price list for a single service and watch one week of real bookings: that is more informative than any feature list. Plans and conditions are on the pricing page.
