The math doesn't lie.
Dog Groomers deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Managing breed-specific grooming notes and client preferences. No-shows when each grooming appointment is 1-3 hours. Gingr costs $80+/month and is designed for multi-groomer shops. Tracking product costs per groom — shampoo, blade wear, etc.. Gingr charges $175/month on top of these daily realities. The median dog groomer earns $35,000/year — $2,100/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for dog groomers. You own it like you own your Clippers and blade sets (Andis, Wahl).
You groom 5 dogs today. Your 9am is a matted goldendoodle that was supposed to come in 8 weeks ago — this will take 3 hours, not 2. Your noon appointment's owner wants a 'puppy cut' but the last groomer left no notes about what that means for this breed. Your 3pm no-shows — that's a $75 slot gone. You're using Vagaro for booking, a paper card file for grooming notes, and Venmo for payment. Gingr wants $80/month and you're one groomer with 4-5 dogs a day.
