Fretso Team

Discover why hundreds of pet shops, grooming salons, and vet clinics across India choose Fretso. Complete guide to features including GST compliance, vaccination tracking, automated reminders, profit analysis, and 40+ powerful tools built specifically for the Indian pet care industry.

Choosing the right management software for your pet shop, grooming salon, or veterinary clinic can make or break your business. Generic accounting software doesn't understand pet health records. International platforms don't handle GST properly. Basic inventory tools can't track vaccinations.

That's why we built Fretso—a complete pet business management platform designed specifically for the Indian pet care industry. Here's everything you get, and why it matters for your business.

Built Specifically for Indian Pet Businesses

Unlike international software adapted for India, Fretso was created from day one for the Indian pet care market. Every feature solves real problems faced by pet shop owners, groomers, and veterinarians across Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, and beyond.

Complete Financial & Tax Management

GST & Tax Compliant

Indian GST is complex—different rates for different products, CGST/SGST for intra-state, IGST for inter-state. Fretso handles it all automatically:

• Automatic CGST, SGST, IGST calculation based on customer location

• Full tax breakdown in every invoice
• GSTIN validation and tracking
• GST reports for easy filing
• Tax summary by period

No more manual GST calculations. No more errors in invoices. Just enter the product, set the GST rate once, and Fretso handles the rest.

Multi-Currency & Global Support

Serving international customers or exporting pet products? Fretso supports:

• 7+ major currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, INR, JPY, AUD, CAD
