The business
A pet aftercare company with two care centers. Families and vet clinics send pets for cremation, and drivers collect them from homes and clinics.
The problem
- Intake paperwork was handwritten, and the online intake form they had been promised never launched.
- Staff initialed a paper list to show work was done, with no proof it actually was.
- The office texted each driver the day's pickups.
- Families got no automatic notice when their pet was ready to collect.
The standout feature
Scan the pet, then the keepsake
A staff member finishes a keepsake. They scan the QR code on the pet and the one on the keepsake. The item is marked done only when both scans match, and the pet cannot move on to cremation until every required item is finished.
What we built
- An intake link sent to the family: their details, service choices and an authorization they sign with a finger.
- A care-center board showing every pet by station.
- One QR code per pet and per item ordered. An item counts as done only when it is scanned with the pet present.
- Cremation is blocked until every required special service is finished.
- A driver's day on any phone, ordered by distance, with a signature at each pickup.
- Pricing per vet clinic or group, invoices split between clinic and family, and clinic balances.
- Two-way texting with alerts to the owner's cell, and status changes that send messages on their own.
- Both care centers in one system.
