# xGROOMx

> xGROOMx is the mobile pet grooming operating system on the Biz Dev App: a
> complete business workspace — not a scheduling app and not a CRM —
> scaffolded with 15 modules, 5 record types and 4 named workflows that a
> mobile pet grooming business actually runs on. Work is priced on breed and
> coat class × size, with de-matting and add-ons as line items.

## What it is for
One van, one dog at a time, no cage and no waiting room.

The buyer is an owner or operator of a mobile pet grooming business who is
currently running the work across a calendar, a phone, a notebook and a
separate invoicing tool. xGROOMx replaces that with one record per customer
and one record per job, carried from intake through pricing, dispatch, proof
of work, invoice and settlement.

## Category
Pet & Animal — The customer is not the patient. Every record is medical-adjacent and every
visit is emotional.

## What the platform assesses
Coat photos classify breed cut, matting severity, and skin condition, and set
a realistic time block per appointment.

The assessment never sets prices. Quantities come from what was measured or
counted; rates come from the operator's own book. That is what makes two
people pricing the same job land on the same number.

## Frequently asked
### Is xGROOMx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?
No. xGROOMx is the mobile pet grooming configuration of the Biz Dev App — the
same platform, the same ledger, the same support, scaffolded with the 15
modules and 5 record types this trade actually uses. If the business later
adds a second line of work, it does not mean a second subscription; it means
another vertical switched on in the same workspace.

### How does xGROOMx price a job?
On breed and coat class × size, with de-matting and add-ons as line items. The
basis lives in the workspace rather than in an estimator's head, so the same
job quoted by two people produces the same number. Your own rates, your own
catalogue — the platform supplies the structure and the arithmetic, never the
prices.

### What does it connect to that we already use?
Stripe, Google Maps routing, Twilio SMS, Vet record uploads are wired first,
because those are what a mobile pet grooming business is usually already
running. Anything else goes through the xCONNECTx public API catalogue rather
than a custom build.

### What happens to the data we already have?
It comes in. The archive import pipeline takes historical customers, jobs and
invoices and lands them as real records — searchable, reportable, attached to
the right customer — rather than as a folder of PDFs nobody opens. The point
of moving is to keep the last five years, not to start over.

## Built on Biz Dev App
xGROOMx is one of 74 service verticals on the Biz Dev App — the operating
system for the AI economy. The leading and trailing x are platform brackets:
Cross-Connect Protocol in, Cross-Connect Protocol out. Every vertical shares
one identity, one ledger (XODIAK) and one settlement rail, so a business that
runs two lines of work runs them in one workspace rather than two
subscriptions.
