Questions to ask

Do not compare feature labels. Compare what happens on a busy day.

Is flexibility creating clarity for the staff or more setup complexity?

Can payments, subscriptions, and POS stay connected to orders, appointments, and reporting?

Does the software support multi-service operations beyond grooming and POS?

Can pet-care context travel across grooming, daycare, boarding, and mobile visits?
