Switching from Gingr to Biffles
Gingr covers a lot of ground. Biffles covers less, and would rather say so. What you get is one calendar for every service, pet records you can trust at the front desk, and an owner portal that keeps the phone quiet. If you are looking for a Gingr alternative in the UK, here is what moving across involves.
Boarding, daycare, grooming and training share a single calendar, so nothing slips between systems.
Raise invoices from a booking, send them as PDFs, and take a percentage deposit by bank transfer. Card payments are in development.
Owners request stays, manage their pets and upload vaccine records. Every request comes to you to approve or decline.
How to switch, step by step
Sign in to Gingr as an admin and open Reports. Run your Owners report and your Animals report, then export each to CSV or Excel. Prefer not to dig through reports? Gingr's support team can send you a full export of your account data.
Set up your business in a few minutes. The trial runs free for 14 days with no card required, so there is no rush.
In Biffles, open Owners and choose Import. Select Gingr from the platform list, upload your CSV, and we match the columns for you. Owners and their pets arrive together. Review the preview, then import.
Set up your services and prices, invite your team, and start taking bookings. Send owners a portal invite whenever you are ready.

Common questions
Will I lose any data moving from Gingr?
No. Your owners and their pets come across from the CSV export. We recommend keeping Gingr accessible for a short while so past bookings and invoices stay on hand for reference.
How long does switching take?
Most businesses are up and running the same day. The import itself takes a few minutes once you have your CSV.
Can I run Gingr and Biffles at the same time?
Yes. Keep taking bookings on Gingr until you are confident, then pick a quiet day to go live on Biffles.
What if a column will not line up?
The import screen lets you match any column by hand. If something still will not fit, send us your export and we will get your list in for you.
