Reservations & scheduling
Bookings, the day-at-a-glance calendar, and the kennel map — one place to manage stays and keep capacity visible without bouncing between screens.
Product roadmap
What we’re building — and what’s already working.
A fair question before you switch your facility to a young product: is this real, and will you still be here in a year? Here’s the honest answer — the parts of BarkWhiz operators use today, the parts in active development, and what’s further out. We label every line. No “coming soon” dressed up as done.
This page is the build log, not a wish list.
It’s kept current as the product moves — updated regularly, reflecting where BarkWhiz actually stands today. Anything marked Available now is running in the product with our founding cohort right now. Anything marked In development is being built and isn’t live yet. We’d rather under-promise here than have you discover the gap after you’ve moved your data.
Live now
The operational core is built and in use. This is the everyday work a boarding or daycare facility repeats hundreds of times a week — and it runs today. Watch these flows in real screens →
Kennel & care operations
Feeding, medications, and incidents logged where the work happens — structured, time-stamped, and easy to follow so routines stay consistent and nothing gets missed.
Customer & dog records
Every owner and every dog has a connected record — notes, history, and care details in one place, so staff understand the relationship, not just the last transaction.
AI-assisted pet-parent updates
The AI turns the day’s activity into a friendly first draft — not a blank box. A staff member reviews, edits, and sends. A human always decides what goes out.
Staff CRM & pipeline workspace
Leads, follow-ups, tasks, and conversations in one staff workspace — so the rebooking and the at-risk client don’t slip between inboxes. Your team works the pipeline in one place.
Billing & subscriptions
Your BarkWhiz subscription and billing run on Stripe today. Your books stay tidy with the live QuickBooks integration — the one outside connection that’s available right now.
Role-based multi-facility access
Five roles with real tenant isolation — front desk, managers, and owners each see exactly what they should, across one location or several. Built for a team, not a shared login.
In active development
These are being built now and aren’t live yet. They’re on the near-term roadmap — and they’re exactly the kind of thing founding facilities get to weigh in on, because what ships first is shaped by what our first operators actually need.
Customer portal
A self-serve space where pet parents can view their dog’s details, stays, and updates — less back-and-forth for your front desk. In development.
Customer payments
Charging your clients directly through BarkWhiz — collecting on stays and add-ons without a separate terminal. Being built; not yet live.
Loyalty & memberships
Recurring plans, packages, and loyalty perks to reward your regulars and smooth out demand — on the roadmap, in development now.
Outbound email & SMS delivery
Sending those AI-drafted updates and follow-ups straight from BarkWhiz over email and text. Outbound delivery is currently disabled while we build it — today the AI drafts and your team sends through your own channels.
Self-serve onboarding
Spin up your facility and import your data on your own. For now we do this the white-glove way — we migrate every founding facility by hand. Self-serve is in development.
More integrations
QuickBooks is live today. More connections to the tools you already run — beyond accounting — are in development. We’ll only ever label one “live” once it truly is.
On the horizon
Further out — the direction BarkWhiz is heading once the foundation above is solid. These aren’t in build yet, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. They’re where an operator-built platform should eventually take your business.
Revenue intelligence
Reading the data you already have to surface what static reports never do — the empty kennels, the lapsed regulars, the stays that never got rebooked — so your team can act on it. A future direction, not yet in build.
Dynamic pricing
Pricing that responds to demand and pace, with suggestions your team approves — never prices changing on their own. A horizon item; we’ll build it the human-in-the-loop way.
Occupancy forecasting
Seeing the busy and slow weeks coming — so you can staff, price, and fill ahead of demand instead of reacting to it. On the horizon, further down the roadmap.
Why we split it this way
We tell you exactly what’s ready.
The Live / In-development / On-the-horizon split isn’t marketing caution — it’s a deliberate promise. Plenty of kennel software demos features that quietly don’t work yet. We’d rather you know precisely where the line is before you move your facility’s data over, not after.
And the order things ship in isn’t decided in a vacuum. Founding facilities directly shape what’s next. You get a direct line to the founder, and what our first operators need most is what gets built first. Read why BarkWhiz is built this way →
Help decide what we build next
We’re taking only 10 founding facilities — each with founding pricing locked in for life, white-glove migration, and a real say in the roadmap above.
