Switching
The reason most groomers stay on software they've stopped liking is that leaving feels dangerous. So we built the move first — every step below is reversible, and you keep your old system until you decide otherwise.
Turn on test-drive mode and click through a fully populated sample business — a real Kip with sample clients. Nothing you do touches your own data, because you haven't put any in yet.
No card, no import, no commitment.
Export your clients from your current software, or use the spreadsheet you already keep. Map your columns once. Kip matches households, catches the same dog arriving twice, and shows you exactly what it will create before it creates it.
Or send us the file and we'll do it for you — free on every plan.
Look at what landed. If the mapping was off or the file was messier than you thought, one action rolls the entire import back — not a partial cleanup, the whole thing reversed. Then try again.
This is the step everyone else makes you do by hand.
Keep your old system going while you build confidence in this one. Parallel-run mode exists because a clean break on a Monday morning is a terrible way to change the software your income depends on.
Switch when you're ready, not when a migration script says so.
Services priced, hours set, zones drawn, booking link live, payments connected. Kip tracks what's still missing and tells you when there's nothing left — rather than leaving you to guess.
Then share the link and take your first booking.
What makes it safe
Map your columns once. Kip parses the file, matches households and shows you what it's about to create before it creates anything.
Kip finds the same client and the same dog arriving twice and merges them as part of the import rather than leaving you a mess.
If the import isn't right, undo the entire thing and try again. Not a partial cleanup — the whole import, reversed.
Click through a fully populated Kip with a sample business before you put a single real client in it.
Keep both running while you build confidence. Kip is designed for the overlap rather than demanding a clean break.
Services priced, hours set, zones drawn, booking link live, payments connected. Kip tracks it and tells you what's left.
Coming from
Every one of these exports a client list, and that's all Kip needs. Each comparison page walks through pricing, what's included and how the move works.
This is the most common starting point, and it's a perfectly good one. Bring the spreadsheet; for anything that only exists in your head, Kip's records are designed to be filled in as you go rather than all at once before you can start.
Questions
Yes — a 14-day free trial, and no card is required to start. You can also switch on test-drive mode to click through a fully populated sample business before you enter a single real client.
Import a spreadsheet or an export from your current system. Kip maps your columns, matches households, catches duplicates during the import, and shows you exactly what it will create before it creates anything. If the result isn't right, one action rolls the entire import back. Prefer not to do it yourself? Send us the file and our team will handle the migration for free, on every plan.
Yes. Kip has a parallel-run mode built for the overlap period, so you can keep your old system going until you trust this one. A go-live checklist tracks what is still missing — services priced, hours set, zones drawn, booking link live — and tells you when you are ready.
Yes, any time, for as long as you have an account. There is no contract and no cancellation fee. Your client list is your business, and making it hard to leave is not how we intend to keep you.
