PetExec Boarding Feature – Fast Facts

• If the pet stay is under 24 hours, PetExec defaults to one day (charge is for one day).
• If the parent picks up the pet late, PetExec does not automatically start charging for the next day until 12 hours (1/2 day).  Once it reaches 12 hours past the last day of boarding, PetExec automatically rounds until the next day (charging for an additional day).
• Moving a pet from daycare into boarding creates a new  record and the boarding will start from that time.
• You can move a pet from boarding to daycare as many times as you need  without having to check out the pet.  PetExec highlights in yellow on the dashboard to indicate that a boarding dog is in daycare but will return to boarding.
• If a pet is in boarding and you want them to check into daycare, you can sign them in as you would any daycare customer.  PetExec will automatically highlight the pet information on the dashboard to indicate that the pet is a boarding customer.
• If for some reason you need to change the start date of the boarding, you can modify dates right from the dashboard.  Click on the start time and enter in the correct information.
• You can also change information by selecting the cart symbol next to the pet from the dashboard.

A PetExec Tip ‘O the Tail for you:

If you provide free daycare to boarding customers, you can add a “daycare type” and name it complimentary boarding or another name you like, and set the amount to $0.   The same technique could be used  if you provide a reduced rate to your boarding customers for daycare.

PetExec has pulled out all the stops on the 2.1 Release!

Read about the set-up of version 2.1 here:
PetExec 2.1
• Improved the way boarding works. Kennels are now defined in Customer Preferences -> Kennel Count. Removed number of kennels in boarding services and made drop down pointing to defined kennels. This allows multiple boarding types to share a count with others.
• Allow boarding dogs to be signed into and out of daycare without being signed out of the system.
• Owner can purchase daycare package at checkout and apply it to current day. Once they purchase a valid daycare package, daycare visits can be applied or removed at checkout.
• Implemented credit card reader into checkout process (enabled in preferences).
• Add products directly to the cart icon shown on dashboard next to owner information.
• Added ability to order the drop downs in sections. This way you can choose which item will appear on top of the list.
• Added Preference Options:
• Disable boarding emails.
• Use Intelliswipe credit card reader.
• Automatically fill total dollar amount in applied field in checkout.
• Added Minimal dashboard to save bandwidth.
• Intelliswipe Credit Card Reader

  Our customers requested a way to import credit card data into PetExec without having to manually type in the numbers. We wanted a product to be easy to use, reliable and compatible. So we tested and added the functionality in version 2.1. Read more about the Intelliswipe on the PetExec site: http://www.petexec.net/intelliswipe.html

PetExec 2.0 added today without a Hitch!

Being that 2.0 was such a gigantic upgrade, we congratulate our wonderful development team for a job well done. Now that you can choose kennel types, we wrote up a little tutorial so you wouldn’t miss a beat!

To Add Kennel Types:

Go to Products & Services > Add Product/Service

Under Service Type choose Boarding
List the Kennel Name in the Product/Service Field
Add Price in the Price Field
Quantity is the default number that is used in the shopping cart at checkout so leave that amount as 1
Add Number of Kennels of this particular type. PetExec uses this number to prevent overbooking so make sure this is the correct number of kennels.
Check the Taxable box if applicable.

Ok you’re are all set! You can add more kennel types, or modify what you have.

New – Boarding Daily To-Do Report

An excellent overview of medication and feeding requirements of the boarded pets.  Under Daycare & Boarding Select: Boarding Daily To-Do.  From this screen you can select a boarding date and see the required feeding information and medications from the report.

New – Daycare Scheduling Reporting

Now if you use the schedule daycare feature, you can pull up a report for any date and modify the scheduled daycare from there. Under Daycare & Boarding Select: Daycare Schedule Report.  From this screen you can select a date to display pets that are scheduled for daycare on that date.  If you need to delete a pet from the schedule, you can select and the pet will be deleted from the current schedule.

Easily Check out purchases from Walk-in customers

First, it is a good idea to set up a virtual customer called Walk-in (or a similar name).   That way, you can track how many orders come in from passerby traffic.  Go to Owners and Pets> Owner Purchase>  then you can search for the virtual customer.  Simply select the items your customer wants to buy from the drop down list and either pick: Purchase and Place in Cart (if you want it held in the cart) or Purchase and Checkout.
