Business automations for dog groomers.
Dog groomers-grade business automations, shipped by people who've done it before.
Appointments, reminders and pet notes handled automatically, so nobody has to put the clippers down for the phone.
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.
The friction dog groomers hit that other industries don't.
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.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Automations for the admin every employer repeats, like payday filing within 2 working days and KiwiSaver at 3.5 per cent.
- Payday filing, every payday
- KiwiSaver now 3.5 per cent
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What business automations covers
We'd call the engagement a success when dog groomers are using the system without thinking about us.
- Audit your existing workflow before automating anything
- Built on n8n, Make, or custom code - whatever fits
- Real monitoring and alerts when something breaks
- Documentation your team can actually read
- No AI theatre
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Questions dog groomers ask
What's the realistic outcome for dog groomers?
Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Is business automations 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.
What tools do you build business automations on?
For business automations we usually reach for n8n, Make, Zapier, Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your dog groomer team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
