We know with the holidays coming up that this is your busiest time of the year. With that in mind we have made many improvements to the software to help you deal with the larger volume of clients you'll experience during the holidays.

New Enhanced Security for Corporate Version

Our new Corporate infrastructure allows new and exciting capabilities that will be available in the near future. The first enhancement designed for larger facilities is a new security system that has 191 security settings. Other versions of the K9 Koordinator have 40 security settings. In addition to a larger amount of security settings, the Corporate version allows employees to be restricted to use any desired number of reports, e.g. only end of day, only scheduling reports, etc. Other versions of the K9 Koordinator can allow/restrict access to 6 types of reports, i.e. clients and pets, financial, general, security log, business totals, history and transactions. If you are a Corporate user and wish to activate the new enhanced security, please contact our support staff. Please note that upon activation, all security levels for your employees will have to be reviewed and edited. Stay tuned for any future updates for our Corporate version.
