Thanks for calling SalonTail. How can I help?

Caller

Can I bring Biscuit in Friday? He’s a golden retriever and needs a de-shed.

FrontIQ

A golden de-shed needs 90 minutes. Is his rabies vaccine current?

Caller

Yes, it was renewed last month.

FrontIQ

Friday at 10 AM is open. I’m booking it now.

Why FrontIQ: Elevate pet owner experience

Elevate pet owner experience.

Customers can reach the shop when and how they want. FrontIQ keeps their context, applies your shop's rules and procedures, and completes the request.

One pet owner, every channel

A call can continue by text, a vaccine record can arrive after the conversation, and the pet owner does not have to start over.

Handle breed-aware scheduling and pricing

Match breed, size, coat, service, and shop rules to the right duration and price before showing availability.

Send follow-up and reminders

Confirm bookings, request vaccine records, recover missed calls, and send the next rebooking prompt automatically.

Why FrontIQ: Scale the shop, not the front desk

Handle more customer requests with less manual work.

FrontIQ handles routine intake, scheduling, and follow-up while your team cares for pets. When a request needs judgment, it brings in a person with the conversation and next step attached.

Never miss a call

FrontIQ answers while your staff is grooming, helping another client, or away from the shop.

Convert new callers to clients

Collect owner and pet details, apply intake requirements, and move a qualified caller into a booked appointment.

Your team joins at the right moment

FrontIQ completes routine requests on its own. When judgment is needed, it sends the conversation, pet details, and next step to the right teammate.

Keep noise away from staff

Spam, wrong numbers, and routine questions stay out of the front-desk queue so staff can focus on pets and customers in the shop.

Why FrontIQ: Built around your grooming operation

FrontIQ runs the way your grooming operation already works.

Put your grooming procedures in plain language once. FrontIQ applies them during every call, text, and chat, while keeping location and service exceptions intact.

Your shop

Hours, services, locations, groomers, availability, service areas, and the details that make your operation distinct.

Your knowledge

Breed and coat guidance, service descriptions, pricing, vaccine policy, cancellation terms, and common customer questions.

Your rules

Booking duration, deposits, add-ons, new-client intake, escalation, no-show recovery, and rebooking timing.

Your SOP

One repeatable workflow for every call, text, and chat, with location-specific exceptions where you need them.

Why FrontIQ: Works with your systems

Connect your grooming software or start with FrontIQ on its own.

FrontIQ completes the customer workflow whether your shop runs on Gingr, is waiting for another direct integration, or does not use a CRM yet.

Live

Gingr

Read the live calendar and write the appointment, client, and pet record back during the customer conversation.

Roadmap

MoeGo

Use FrontIQ for conversations and customer follow-up now. Direct MoeGo connectivity is on the integration roadmap.

No CRM required

FrontIQ Customer Inbox

Start without grooming software. FrontIQ creates the owner and pet record, keeps the conversation history, and tracks the next step.

Why FrontIQ: You are in control

You are in control. Stay informed and step in only when it matters.

Every request, action, and outcome stays visible. Your team chooses the rules, reviews the work, corrects knowledge, and decides when a person takes over.

  • Inspect the complete conversation and outcome
  • Listen live and take over when human judgement is needed
  • Find missing or conflicting shop knowledge
  • Send chosen alerts to the right teammate
