Mobile grooming isn’t just about appointments — it’s about travel, timing, and energy. GroomSlot plans your entire day by clustering nearby bookings, calculating travel time, and turning your schedule into an optimized route you can follow in Google Maps.

Our system uses advanced proximity logic to suggest "Recommended" time slots to your customers during the online booking process. So customers naturally book into nearby slots — no back-and-forth, no manual planning.
Whether you want to enforce a strict Service Radius, set Day-Specific Zones to stay in one area, or visualize your entire day on a live map, GroomSlot provides the tools to manage your mobile territory with surgical precision. Have a look how much time and money you could save with our calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the "Recommended" slot feature work?
When a customer uses your booking form, GroomSlot calculates their distance from your existing appointments for that day. If they are nearby, the slot is highlighted as "Recommended" to encourage efficient clustering. This reduces long drives without you needing to manage availability manually.
Can I limit how far I travel in a single day?
Yes. You can set a Maximum Daily Travel Distance and a Service Radius. If a booking exceeds these limits, the system can automatically prevent the appointment to protect your margins.
What is "Smart Booking Power"?
This is the engine that handles the heavy lifting—pinning customer addresses, calculating travel times, and optimizing your daily sequence so you don't have to do the math manually.
Can I choose which days I work in certain areas?
Absolutely. The Day Zones feature allows you to define specific areas (e.g., "North London") for specific days of the week, automatically limiting bookings to that zone for that day.
