Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not super tech savvy, is it hard to learn Pawfinity?
Don't worry, you're not alone! A large portion of our market (Pet Pros) aren't exceptionally tech savvy, choosing to spend the majority of their time focusing on improving their trade skills rather than studying nerdy things. That being said, our clients generally find Pawfinity is easy to learn and use.
Our training videos walk you through common tasks step by step, and give you a visual tool to learn. If you still have trouble finding a feature or solving a task, your support center is only two clicks away.
I'm currently using clip cards. How difficult is the transition?
Many groomers today are making the transition from the old clip cards into grooming software to help improve the efficiency of their business. Pawfinity has many features that will help smooth the transition from paper records such as:
- New client application
- Quick appointment
- Multiple employee profiles allow your entire staff to contribute to the data transfer process.
Gather up the team, order some pizzas, and have a data entry party and you'll be done in no time! Alternatively, you can always add clients into the system one at a time, as they schedule appointments. Anyway you choose to add your clients to your new Pawfinity account, you'll find the work was well worth the time spent.
Can you import my client and pet info?
Absolutely. We import client and pet data from various software on a daily basis. We are able to import most well-formatted CSV files, along with some plain text files. Don't worry about the details, simply export your data from the old software and contact us and we'll have a look.
Our import process is free. Please inquire for more information.

How long does it take to get setup?

Is there a setup or startup fee?
No. There are no startup or hidden fees associated with Pawfinity. If your software company is charging you a setup / startup fee, they are taking advantage of your kind nature. Don't let them fool you however, there is no reason for a setup fee when using a web / cloud application.
Do you offer support? How and when is support available?

My current software is always crashing or offline. What is your uptime history?
My current software is painfully slow. Is that just how cloud software works?
Well, it shouldn't be. When properly configured, "cloud software" should technically be as fast as a program downloaded to your computer. Pawfinity is fast. Like, lightning fast.
We've spent countless hours improving our code and the servers it runs on to ensure we are fast, even during peak usage times. This work has come together to make us the fastest pet-service software on the market (during testing with 3rd party tools).

My current software has a makeshift invoice-type "POS", but I was hoping for a true Point Of Sale solution. How good is your POS?
Pawfinity has a full-featured, retail Point Of Sale system which can power an entire suite of POS hardware to create a complete solution. Promotions, tips, commissions, group buy discounting, email and SMS receipts, and more!
This is much more than the simple invoice "check out" style systems offered in most other pet software today.

Do you offer payment processing?
Are there any extra / hidden fees with Pawfinity?
There are no hidden fees with Pawfinity. SMS (text) is the only add-on service available, in which you pay only for what you use.

Does it cost more for extra logins?
How do you secure our data against theft or loss?
Pawfinity employs security on multiple levels of our system to ensure you are operating in a safe and secure environment. Bank-grade TLS encryption, multi-tier firewalls, and application layer security measures all work together to secure our system, and therefore your data.
From an account perspective, our application security program prevents unsavory individuals from guessing your passwords and individual employee logins help keep team members out of sensitive, manager-only areas of your account to prevent issues.
Data loss is prevented through the use of our extensive Industry Leading Infrastructure and automated daily data backup.

What kind of computer and internet connection is required to run Pawfinity?
Pawfinity is light and fast, meaning it can run on nearly any modern internet connection from 3G mobile data to the gigabit fiber optics systems being rolled out by companies such as Google (fiber).
As for the computer, you will need a virus-free computer capable of connecting to the internet, preferably running Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox web browser. Mircrosoft Edge browser will also work, however it does not perform as well as the other three.
