Barkway App Dashboard

The real problem is not just taking bookings

Most diary stress comes from what happens around appointments: reshuffles, awkward gaps, no-shows, missed follow-ups, and not having enough pet context at booking time.

Built around the way groomers actually book

Smart Scheduler

Find cleaner, more sensible slots quickly so your diary works with your day, not against it.

Clear calendar visibility

See upcoming appointments and booking flow clearly, so planning and rescheduling stay manageable.

Booking statuses

Track where each appointment sits so nothing gets lost between new enquiries, upcoming grooms, and completed visits.

Automated reminders

Reduce no-shows and cut repetitive admin with reminder workflows that run in the background.

Recall and overdue follow-up

Spot overdue clients and reach out at the right time to keep the diary healthy.

Connected booking context

Link each booking with pet details, notes, deposits, and invoice records for smoother appointments.
