The businesses this is built for
We would rather show you the shape of business Fretso fits and let you recognise yourself in it than print a wall of five-star quotes.
A note on testimonials
There are no invented quotes on this page. Every vendor site you are comparing has a row of smiling faces saying the software changed their life, and a good proportion of them are written by the marketing team. We would rather publish nothing than publish that.
What follows are composite scenarios: real business shapes, with arithmetic you can check against your own numbers. When customers agree to be named, their words will replace them, with their name and their shop on it.

Two-chair grooming salon
One site · 3 staff · ~40 dogs a week
Before
Paper diary, card machine, a WhatsApp group for the rota, and a spreadsheet for commission that nobody trusted.
After
One diary, tickets with before-and-after photos, and commission that accrues when the ticket is invoiced.
- The lever
- Rebooking at the counter
- The arithmetic
- 2 no-shows a week at ₹1,800 is ~₹1.87L a year
- Where it shows up
- A fuller diary six weeks out
Boarding kennel with 14 runs
One site · 5 staff · peaks at 100% occupancy
Before
A wall planner for runs, vaccination cards in a folder, and a scramble every bank holiday.
After
Reservations against a specific run, live occupancy, and a vaccination gate that checks at the door.
- The lever
- Peak pricing on the weeks you turn people away
- The arithmetic
- 25–40% above base at Christmas is normal
- Where it shows up
- Revenue per available run-night
Pet shop that also grooms
One site · retail plus two grooming chairs
Before
A till that did not know about the grooming diary, and stock counted by eye on a Sunday.
After
One counter for both, stock that drops as you sell, and per-line tax on a mixed basket.
- The lever
- Stockouts you can finally see
- The arithmetic
- Tick every unavailable request for 4 weeks, times your margin
- Where it shows up
- Fewer "we can order that in" conversations
