A few useful answers

Before you
get started.

Have a different question?
Talk to us

Can I try it now?

We’re preparing early access. Email info@mybestfriend.pet to tell us about your business and the question you want to tackle first. We’ll discuss availability and the next steps with you.

Do I have to start with every app?

Start the conversation with the tool that fits your immediate need: performance, labor, leads or pricing. We’ll help you work out a sensible starting point for early access.

Is this a booking system?

The suite focuses on understanding performance, reviewing labor, following up on leads and exploring pricing. Tell us what you already use for bookings so we can discuss how it fits your workflow.

What if I have more than one location?

The suite includes location-aware reporting and working views. Keep each location’s context in view while looking at the business as a whole.

What will it cost?

Public plans haven’t been announced yet. Request early access and we’ll discuss the scope, availability and pricing before you commit.

Are the figures on this page real business results?

No. The figures and product illustrations on this page are examples. They explain how the tools present information and aren’t customer results or a promise of performance.
