Mobile grooming software that knows the road
Your business drives. Furbello plans the route, texts the customers, respects the traffic, and tells you what every mile earned — follow one day in the van and see it the way it looks in the real product.
Your day arrives as a route, not a list
Route planning for mobile groomers — optimized before your first coffee.
The Daily Route shows every stop in driving order on a real map: your base, numbered pins, and the actual roads between them. One tap optimizes the order with Google's routing, travel times appear between every pair of appointments, and the day's total drive, distance, and expected revenue sit at the top. Reorder by hand whenever you know something the map doesn't — a locked stop stays exactly where you put it.
- Real road routes on the map — base to stop 1 to stop 2 and home
- Travel time and mileage between every pair of stops, updated automatically
- One-tap route optimization, with hand-ordering and locked stops
- Drive time, miles, groom time, and expected revenue for the whole day
Daily route — Tuesday
Tap Start Route — your first customer already knows
On-my-way texts with honest arrival windows, sent from one button.
Starting the route texts your first customer that you're rolling, with an arrival window — "between 10:00 and 10:30" — never a fake exact time. Running late? One tap sends a courteous heads-up. When the groom is done, the all-done message goes out on its own. Customers without texting get the same updates by email, and every message lands in your delivery log.
- Arrival windows in every message — no promises you can't keep
- On-my-way, running-late, and all-done from single taps
- SMS with automatic email fallback and full consent handling
- A delivery log showing exactly what each customer received

Next Stop is your windshield view
Everything about the current stop on one phone screen.
Gate codes, parking notes, and property warnings surface before you're standing at the door. The dog's allergies, behavior flags, and grooming notes are one glance away. Big buttons move the stop through its day — on my way, arrived, start grooming, complete — and Navigate opens the address in the Google Maps you already use, free.
- Gate codes, parking notes, and safety warnings up front
- Full pet profile — allergies, behavior, notes — at every stop
- One-tap milestones that stamp times and notify the customer
- Free turn-by-turn through your own Google Maps app

New bookings respect the drive
Travel-aware scheduling — an open hour isn't an open slot.
When a customer books online or your front desk adds an appointment, Furbello only offers times that truly fit: the drive from the previous stop, the drive to the next one, and your travel buffer are all accounted for before a slot ever shows. Back-to-back stops across town simply can't happen.
- Online booking and staff scheduling share the same travel rules
- Configurable buffer so you're never booked bumper-to-bumper
- Too-far stops are rejected, not squeezed in
- Works from cached travel estimates — fast and cost-efficient
Book Mochi — Thursday
Book only where you actually go
Service areas with travel fees — by radius, ZIP codes, or a drawn map.
Define the zones you serve — a radius from base, a list of ZIP codes, cities, or a custom polygon — and attach a travel fee to each. Online booking checks the customer's address against your zones before offering a single time, and the right fee is added to the appointment automatically.
- Radius, ZIP-code, city, or hand-drawn polygon zones
- Per-zone travel fees added to the booking automatically
- Addresses outside your zones can't book online
- Customer addresses geocoded and saved with gate codes and parking notes

Addresses outside every zone can't book online — your calendar only fills where you actually drive.
A cancellation becomes an opportunity
Gap Filler ranks your waitlist by who's closest to the hole in your day.
When a stop cancels, the gap doesn't have to stay empty. Gap Filler looks at your waitlist and ranks candidates by distance from the surrounding stops, day preferences, and value — then offers the opening to your best candidate in one tap. Route Rescue handles bigger disruptions: a groomer out sick or a van in the shop.
- Waitlist candidates ranked by distance, fit, and value
- Candidates ranked by how close they are to the hole in your route
- Route Rescue lines up every affected stop and messages customers in a few taps
- Vehicle out of service? Move its stops to another van at once

Know if the day was worth the miles
Route Profit Guard — revenue per hour, per mile, and per stop.
Salon software counts revenue; a van has to count driving too. Profit Guard shows what each route really earned — per hour on the clock, per mile on the odometer, per stop — and how much of your day was grooming versus windshield time. Set a revenue-per-hour target and see instantly which routes and zones are carrying the business.
- Revenue per hour, per mile, and per stop on every route
- Grooming time vs. drive time, day by day
- Warnings when a route falls below your target
- Mobile reports alongside the same revenue reports salons get

Built for the phone in the van
Big touch targets, glanceable statuses, and a Next Stop screen designed for a dashboard mount, not a desk.
