Resolving the Usability-Functionality Paradox

The Operating System for
Shelter Excellence.

Competitors force you to choose: Easy to use OR Powerful.
Pet360 delivers both.
Zero friction. Full compliance. Immutable audit trail.

The Crisis

The "Shadow IT" Problem

When software is difficult to use, staff defects to workarounds. Data integrity is compromised by the very tools designed to protect it.

Legacy System: 'Clunky navigation'

Staff use Google Sheets instead.

Legacy System: 'Steep learning curve'

Data entered retroactively, not real-time.

Legacy System: 'Slow loading'

Paper notes and sticky notes everywhere.

Dogs in shelter

The Result?

Fragmented Truth.

When data lives in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and heads, your official "System of Record" becomes a graveyard of stale data.

The Solution

Push, Don't Pull.

We inverted the workflow. Instead of searching for work, Pet360 pushes priority tasks to you.

OLD

Legacy Pattern

1. Login
2. See empty search bar
3. Recall animal ID from memory
4. Search & Navigate menus
5. Find task & Execute

Result: "Proficiency requires weeks of training."

NEW

Pet360 Pattern

1. Login
2. TODAY'S TASKS PUSHED TO DASHBOARD
3. Click & Complete

Result: "Zero training needed for core workflows."
