Hi all, just a message regarding the My Pet Walker app that we will begin using from October.
I am yet to send out invitations to a number of people, this will be done either this evening or tomorrow.
You can absolutely book in as usual with me by message for the first three days of next week (September). I have left those days unavailable to book so that it doesn't complicate the October invoicing via the app.
I have restricted the booking timeslot to an arbitrary one hour slot, as we know your preferences well, and again, didn't want to overcomplicate the process of booking. If you would like to make a change to your usual walk time when booking a day, please do message personally and I shall make a note when finalising the weeks plan.
Thank you to those of you who have been proactive in updating information within the profile, and booking in those October and onwards dates!
Let's hope for a seamless transition from pen and paper to the modern world of technology! I am hoping it will streamline the end of the month invoicing process, reduce admin as we get busier, and ensure no dogs are missed with my human error.
I appreciate it will increase the workload for those of you who have rolling set days each week, having to book in monthly. I've tried to think of ways to minimise this, for example- restricting the amount of available slots for ad hoc bookings. But the benefits of having the customer base entirely within one app will really help keep track of the admin for me.
