Vans and areas

Each van has a home base, hours and a maximum drive between stops. Areas get a colour and the weekdays a van covers them.

  • Vans with home base, end-of-day address and buffer
  • Service areas by ZIP with area days
  • Travel fees: flat, per area or per mile, with a cap
  • Waive the fee for returning clients

On the road

From leaving base to back at base, with Navigate links, access notes, odometer readings and one-tap on-my-way texts. It keeps working when the signal drops.

  • Navigate links and access notes
  • On-my-way texts with an arrival window
  • Sends automatically when the last stop finishes
  • Check-ins and texts queue offline, then sync

Step-by-step guides

Before you ask

How is mobile priced?

The same as a salon: $49 per groomer a month. No per-van fee.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. The day sheet is saved on the phone. Check-ins, on-my-way texts and odometer readings sync when signal returns.

What if a client is outside my areas?

They can still send a request, and clients who found no slot nearby can ask to be texted when the van is close.

Can I run vans and a salon together?

Yes. Vans are locations, so a salon and vans live in one account.

Mobile grooming routes is included in every plan. $49 per groomer a month, with every other feature.
