A van, a napkin and a better Tuesday

Bramble started as one groomer’s route sheet. It is still built by people who have groomed out of a van, for people who do.

Tessa Hollander groomed out of a van in Boise for nine years. The grooming was the good part. The rest was a paper planner, a maps app at red lights, and forty reminder texts typed on Sunday nights.

In 2022 she asked Walt Brannigan, a neighbor who had spent a decade ordering parcel routes, whether the same math could order seven dogs. It could. The first Bramble was a route sheet for one van, printed and taped to the dash.

Today 23 of us work on it, a third of whom have run a van, and it plans the day for 1,140 of them. We still test every release from a driveway.

The people who pick up

Four things we will not change

Written down, so you can hold us to them.

They are in the terms too, in the same words.

Tips are yours
We have never taken a fee on a tip and we never will. It is in the terms, in plain words.
A person picks up
Support is answered weekdays from 7 AM to 7 PM MT by people who have groomed out of a van. No ticket numbers.
Your list leaves with you
Clients, pets, notes and vaccine dates export as a spreadsheet at any time, on any plan, including after you cancel.
It works with one bar
Every screen you need in a driveway works offline first, and is tested in a cul-de-sac outside Kuna with no bars at all.
