We have been impressed by Collar from day one

Our business model requires a variety of ways in which customers can book our different services. Not only is the team approachable, prompt and knowledgable, but they have also devised a platform that understands the needs of our hybrid business.

Collar has and continues to be a vital asset for us since before we opened our doors.

The versatile booking system allows us to create a range of bespoke services to offer to our members. The Collar team has always been quick to respond and implement any feedback, suggestions or requests which help make The Paw & Whistle run smoother. We're confident that we have found a partner in Collar, not just a supplier.

How it works

Plan a route staff can actually deliver

Routes need realistic travel, parking, service and cleanup allowances. A map is only part of the job; the dispatcher, field worker and customer must stay aligned when the day changes.

What makes Collar different

Collar is built to connect the customer, their individual pets, the service and the order—not just put a time in a calendar. That shared context helps teams follow the work from first booking to payment and the next visit.

Other systems may offer some or all of these tools. The practical difference to check is whether the parts your team needs share the same pet and customer context in your Collar setup.

  1. Group work by service area and available vehicles or people.
  2. Leave room for travel and a plausible arrival window.
  3. Update assignments and customer information after a moved stop.
  4. Review completed work and time spent over several days.

What to test in a demo: Ask whether any automatic optimization you require is available in your configuration; do not infer it from a route view.
