AI quoting for dog groomers.
For dog groomers who want results in weeks, not a year-long transformation programme.
Appointments, reminders and pet notes handled automatically, so nobody has to put the clippers down for the phone.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

What AI quoting covers
We'd call the engagement a success when dog groomers are using the system without thinking about us.
- Reads photos, voice notes, emails, and PDFs
- Uses your pricing rules and current material costs
- Drafts in your branded template, ready to send
- Tracks win/loss to make the next quote sharper
- No annual contracts
- No AI theatre
The pattern across most dog groomers we work with.
Groomers run tight appointment slots where a single no-show leaves an expensive gap in the day.
Booking confirmations and reminder texts are the simplest lever for cutting no-shows in a grooming business.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Straight answers
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Is AI quoting worth it for a smaller dog groomer?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
Anyone else in this space using AI quoting?
Plenty. Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
