The ability to dynamically price based on occupancy or date is what the industry has been missing + instant confirmation of bookings so pet owners aren't left wondering. - Improved reporting. More helpful reports + recognizes revenue the right way (accrual basis). - Open architecture. They're building the product with the ability to eventually integrate via API with other softwares we use (QBO, our CRM, etc.) - More intuitive/modern user interface. > > **Cons**: As a new business there are a few features they still haven't added (for example, photos and feeding tables on run cards), but we know all are on their product roadmap and will be added before long. > > It took us some time to make the switch from Gingr since that product's operating system has been around for so long. However, once Goose's product was to a point that wouldn't impact our way of doing business, we quickly made the switch. Our team is happier using Goose, and Goose's pace of innovation has been impressive -- it seems like each week they're rolling out new features, nearly all of which align with our team's feedback. Our view is that Goose is the better product today and is 100% 'where the puck is going' -- it will be the better product in the years to come, too. ----- ### "Nothing better than working with a team that can execute" — 5.0/5 > **Sean** | *29 April 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Online booking Engine: This software was built with the customer experience in mind when it comes to online booking and it really shows. Most of the software in our industry has a clunky online booking experience. This is not the case in Goose where you can very nicely present everything your facility has to offer to customers. It is also very easy to use on the admin side, so you can make changes on your own and test out new offerings. Additionally there are a ton of tools you can use for occupancy/price optimization. Ease of Use: The system is very easy to use and is being improved weekly. We have implemented this software in 6 locations and the feedback from staff at every location has been that it is very easy to learn and use. Implementing has required a single day with a few hours of training at each location and minimal follow up after. Speed: Our previous system would consistently crash and severely bog down during busy periods (weekends/Holidays). Goose has been VERY stable. It has not "timed out" or crashed a single time since we started using it. Future Roadmap: Goose has been very up front about their future plans for development which are very exciting. We analyzed every option before deciding to go with goose and in addition to the other things I listed, their plans for the future were why we made the decision. They are not just throwing around ideas. They have a development schedule and they meet their deadlines. They also meet with us regularly for feedback and are delivering changes and improvements on a regular basis in between the scheduled upgrades. > > **Cons**: Goose meets all of our needs, we offer Boarding, Daycare and Training. > > I have nothing but good things to say about the software and the entire team. When we initially met the Goose team years ago they were just a booking engine. This year we talked to them at a show and they were in the process of releasing their full operating system. We made a long list of things that were a requirement in order for us to even consider making a switch. The Goose team went through the list with us line by line. They didn't have every feature we needed available, but they had a timeline for when it would be. We've been through this process before so we were naturally skeptical that what we needed would be implemented. We wrote down the dates and continued to review other options. After the show they set up a regular meeting with us to review the releases and provide feedback. They were hitting every deadline exactly as they said they would be. Eventually we got to a point where they delivered on their promises and we had everything we needed to transition. A lot of companies say they'll make changes or have features available, Goose is actually executing and there's nothing better than working with a team that can execute. ----- ### "Right choice?" — 3.0/5 > **Amanda** | *29 August 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer support was great. Great with answering questions in an efficient manner. Has a few different ways to filter which is nice. > > **Cons**: Checking in and checking out has multiple steps which seem unnecessary. Streamlining that process would be more beneficial all around. > > Still in the beginning stages but definitely feels like the overall process is made harder than it needs to be. ----- ### "Goose is a modern and streamlined KMS" — 4.0/5 > **Megan** | *1 May 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: First and foremost, Goose's customer service is exceptional. Their team is prompt and thorough. Their support team is easy to access from the dashboard and everyone on our team feels comfortable reaching out. Goose's dashboard is simple and clear. Reports are easy to find and understand by anyone on our team. Last, Goose allows us to set rate optimizations and minimum booking values that are very customizable and easy to adjust. > > **Cons**: The pre-registration process can get missed by our customers, and our staff often needs to encourage owners to fill it out before a reservation. We know this is something that the Goose team is working on and are confident the final result will go above and beyond what currently exists in the industry. ----- ### "Goose increased my revenue in a few short months\!" — 5.0/5 > **Christopher** | *26 April 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Goose and the entire team have exceeded my expectations. From the initial set-up process to the everyday use of the site, every task is streamlined. Revenue management has been the biggest pro to using Goose every day. My booking rates are automatically adjusted to increase my profitability during holidays, historically busy times of the year, and allow you to create blocked-off time too. Without Goose, I would be missing out on simple revenue increases that offset Goose's costs and so much more\! > > **Cons**: There is not much to dislike about Goose. They are a young company, and the customer support is unmatched in the industry. The entire time, the support team is there to take care of any questions or problems you encounter. You can actively see the software updates take place firsthand. The support team is also great at releasing articles about all their improvements and updates, giving business owners a step ahead\! > > Overall, I would recommend Goose to any colleague. It has dramatically improved my revenue, helping my business grow rapidly. I am constantly impressed with the software updates and how well the company communicates with its subscribers. I have never waited more than 15 minutes for a service request to be answered and handled on the spot. I look forward to seeing what updates and new features pop up monthly. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1065648/goose?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1065648/goose) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
