A PetExec alternative focused on floor operations
When booking software stops at the front desk, DatCog picks up on the kennel floor-feed, meds, play and payroll in one system.
14 days free. No card.
Facilities evaluating a PetExec alternative often need more than online booking and CRM. DatCog connects reservations to daily care: feed rounds with medication columns, playgroups with separation rules enforced, and a Staff Portal your team uses on their phones, with roster, timesheets and payroll export included.
