Goose is a next-generation pet care operating system designed to boost customer satisfaction and revenue. We thoughtfully built our software for multi-service facilities that offer boarding, daycare, or groo and designed our system around the customer visit (instead of each service). That means that your front desk has a familiar experience for every customer visit and you have the ultimate flexibility for designing customer offers and upgrades. Whether you run one location or one hundred, Goose increases the quality and value of pet care visits through advanced customer management features, activity dashboards, and revenue management tools. We also help pet care providers connect with pet parents by making each stay more convenient - that includes a modern online booking experience, communications, vaccination reminders, and lightning fast check-in and check-out. Powerful reporting provides you visibility into sales and operations so that you can stay on top of your business metrics. ## What is Goose used for?

Pros Customer support was great. Great with answering questions in an efficient manner. Has a few different ways to filter which is nice. Cons Checking in and checking out has multiple steps which seem unnecessary. Streamlining that process would be more beneficial all around.

We hear you on check-in and check-out, and we’re continuing to streamline that process so it feels more natural. At the same time, Goose is built to really shine when it comes to managing multiple services together, which helps reduce the workarounds many teams face with other systems. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to supporting you as you get more comfortable with Goose. MH Madison H. Sales and Service Manager Veterinary ### "Easy To Use and Learn" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 7, 2024 Everything so far has been great. The team is very attentive in helping with any issues that arise, which has not been many. Pros easy to use, runs smoothly and quickly. Very reliable and the GOOSE team is very helpful. Cons Searching for a person is in alphabetical order and they don't just come to the top of the page.

CEO Consumer Services ### "Made the switch from Gingr, haven't looked back!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 6, 2024 It took us some time to make the switch from Gingr since that product's operating system has been around for so long. However, once Goose's product was to a point that wouldn't impact our way of doing business, we quickly made the switch. Our team is happier using Goose, and Goose's pace of innovation has been impressive -- it seems like each week they're rolling out new features, nearly all of which align with our team's feedback. Our view is that Goose is the better product today and is 100% 'where the puck is going' -- it will be the better product in the years to come, too. Pros \- Booking and revenue management. The ability to dynamically price based on occupancy or date is what the industry has been missing + instant confirmation of bookings so pet owners aren't left wondering. - Improved reporting. More helpful reports + recognizes revenue the right way (accrual basis). - Open architecture. They're building the product with the ability to eventually integrate via API with other softwares we use (QBO, our CRM, etc.) - More intuitive/modern user interface. Cons As a new business there are a few features they still haven't added (for example, photos and feeding tables on run cards), but we know all are on their product roadmap and will be added before long. Switched from [Gingr](https://www.capterra.com/p/136469/Gingr/) \- Pace of innovation - Company is singularly focused on servicing the pet services industry - More intuitive interface Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Owner Hospitality ### "Innovative Management System" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 4, 2024 Customer support has been incredibly responsive and consistent. As much as we appreciate the innovative features of Goose compared to other kennel management systems, we think updated features will flow more quickly than from other existing systems. We switched to a custom platform a few years ago. Goose is giving us many of the features we wanted for our next system updates. It's much easier and less expensive for us to utilize the Goose system and depend on them for support and innovative updates. Pros I like the convenience it provides our customers and the time it frees up for our staff to allow them to focus more on dogs in-house. The deposits collected at time of reservations has a big impact on our cash flow. Cons Changing Kennel Management Systems is never easy. Nothing specific to Goose.

KB Kerry B.

I will probably use this system as long as I own a kennel. Pros It makes my job, and everyone who works for me, so easy!! Also, they are always available to help fix issues and to add or take away things we need. Cons Nothing I can think of. The employees are great to work with and fast. Reasons for choosing Goose This one had exactly what I was looking for when I started my business and when I looked at reviews for the other products I wasn't as impressed as I was with Goose.

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 1, 2024 Goose has an exceptional team that very much listens to your concerns, and optimizes the best outcome for your business. I feel they support my opinions, and use those as advantage points to create the best system for my business needs. Pros Goose has a strong customer service team. They respond within minutes, with any questions, and concerns I have. Cons Since Goose is a program new to the boarding industry, they are still learning ways they can improve their system. But, I believe their team does a great job at listening to your needs, and I know I can count on them to always provide the help.

Market Manager Hospitality ### "Goose is a modern and streamlined KMS" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 1, 2024 Pros First and foremost, Goose's customer service is exceptional. Their team is prompt and thorough. Their support team is easy to access from the dashboard and everyone on our team feels comfortable reaching out. Goose's dashboard is simple and clear. Reports are easy to find and understand by anyone on our team. Last, Goose allows us to set rate optimizations and minimum booking values that are very customizable and easy to adjust. Cons The pre-registration process can get missed by our customers, and our staff often needs to encourage owners to fill it out before a reservation. We know this is something that the Goose team is working on and are confident the final result will go above and beyond what currently exists in the industry. Switched from [Gingr](https://www.capterra.com/p/136469/Gingr/) Gingr's booking process was not ideal for the customer experience. We liked that Goose allows customers to book without going through a clunky intake process. We also appreciated that Goose's dashboard and reporting are much easier to use and clearer for staff to understand. Additionally, Goose's customer service is leaps and bounds above Gingr both in promptness and attention to detail.

MI Morgan I. Vice President of Operations Hospitality ### "Goose is a game-changing operating system!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 1, 2024 Pros Goose has simultaneously enhanced the client experience and eased operations for our team. The online booking ability is a must have - new and existing clients have jumped right into this new offering. For our team, Goose has been extremely quick to learn. If you can book yourself a hotel online, you can use Goose! Cons There are some features not yet available, but the Goose team is incredibly responsive and fast at delivering updates.

Owner Consumer Services ### "Nothing better than working with a team that can execute" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 29, 2024 I have nothing but good things to say about the software and the entire team. When we initially met the Goose team years ago they were just a booking engine. This year we talked to them at a show and they were in the process of releasing their full operating system. We made a long list of things that were a requirement in order for us to even consider making a switch. The Goose team went through the list with us line by line. They didn't have every feature we needed available, but they had a timeline for when it would be. We've been through this process before so we were naturally skeptical that what we needed would be implemented. We wrote down the dates and continued to review other options. After the show they set up a regular meeting with us to review the releases and provide feedback. They were hitting every deadline exactly as they said they would be. Eventually we got to a point where they delivered on their promises and we had everything we needed to transition. A lot of companies say they'll make changes or have features available, Goose is actually executing and there's nothing better than working with a team that can execute. Pros Online booking Engine: This software was built with the customer experience in mind when it comes to online booking and it really shows. Most of the software in our industry has a clunky online booking experience. This is not the case in Goose where you can very nicely present everything your facility has to offer to customers. It is also very easy to use on the admin side, so you can make changes on your own and test out new offerings. Additionally there are a ton of tools you can use for occupancy/price optimization. Ease of Use: The system is very easy to use and is being improved weekly. We have implemented this software in 6 locations and the feedback from staff at every location has been that it is very easy to learn and use. Implementing has required a single day with a few hours of training at each location and minimal follow up after. Speed: Our previous system would consistently crash and severely bog down during busy periods (weekends/Holidays). Goose has been VERY stable. It has not "timed out" or crashed a single time since we started using it. Future Roadmap: Goose has been very up front about their future plans for development which are very exciting. We analyzed every option before deciding to go with goose and in addition to the other things I listed, their plans for the future were why we made the decision. They are not just throwing around ideas. They have a development schedule and they meet their deadlines. They also meet with us regularly for feedback and are delivering changes and improvements on a regular basis in between the scheduled upgrades. Cons Goose meets all of our needs, we offer Boarding, Daycare and Training.

Owner Consumer Services ### "Goose increased my revenue in a few short months!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 26, 2024 Overall, I would recommend Goose to any colleague. It has dramatically improved my revenue, helping my business grow rapidly. I am constantly impressed with the software updates and how well the company communicates with its subscribers. I have never waited more than 15 minutes for a service request to be answered and handled on the spot. I look forward to seeing what updates and new features pop up monthly. Pros Goose and the entire team have exceeded my expectations. From the initial set-up process to the everyday use of the site, every task is streamlined. Revenue management has been the biggest pro to using Goose every day. My booking rates are automatically adjusted to increase my profitability during holidays, historically busy times of the year, and allow you to create blocked-off time too. Without Goose, I would be missing out on simple revenue increases that offset Goose's costs and so much more! Cons There is not much to dislike about Goose. They are a young company, and the customer support is unmatched in the industry. The entire time, the support team is there to take care of any questions or problems you encounter. You can actively see the software updates take place firsthand. The support team is also great at releasing articles about all their improvements and updates, giving business owners a step ahead!

Also, the revenue management feature is similar to how a hotel operates, and Goose has done a great job with subscribers' ability to customize booking rates to increase profits.
