How to Modernize Appointment Scheduling With Animal Shelter Software

Many businesses have turned to new technologies to modernize the appointment scheduling process. New animal shelter software makes it easy for staff and customers to book and manage appointments to view and meet the pets at local rescues. Walk-ins can interrupt and slow down the work that pet shelter staff need to accomplish every day, but scheduled appointments can keep the flow moving so every pet gets the attention they need.

Train Employees

On average, it only takes about two hours for the QLess team to train your employees on how to use our animal shelter software. Your employees will have access to a real-time dashboard where they can manage appointments, see notes on the reason for the appointment, and send direct communications to the clients. For example, suppose one of the shelter animals needs to receive medical attention. A staff member can quickly notify the upcoming appointment holders of the delay that will ensue. With less time needed to deal with walk-ins and scheduling phone calls, your staff will have more time to focus on shelter operations and to attend to the resident pets.

Advertise

Advertising your new software solution is a great way to let potential clients know that you’ve modernized appointment scheduling for their convenience. Post about it on your social media channels, call attention to it on your website, send notifications to your email list, and anything else you can to get the word out. Your pets need a forever home, and QLess animal shelter software can help get the job done by bringing in the customers.
