# FarrierIQ — Full Content Index > AI-powered business management platform for farriers. ## About FarrierIQ FarrierIQ is a mobile-first business operating system built specifically for professional farriers. Most farriers run their business from memory, a paper notebook, or a generic calendar app — FarrierIQ replaces all of that with a purpose-built platform that understands the unique workflow of the farrier trade: recurring trim cycles, multi-horse barn visits, on-site invoicing, and horse health tracking. ## Platform Architecture FarrierIQ is built for mobile-first use in the field: - **Mobile app**: React Native (iOS + Android) for field use - **Web dashboard**: Next.js for office management and reporting - **Backend**: FastAPI with PostgreSQL - **Sync**: Real-time sync between mobile and web ## Core Features ### Scheduling & Calendar - Weekly and monthly calendar views optimized for farrier workflows - Recurring appointments with configurable trim cycles (4-week, 6-week, 8-week, etc.) - Automated client reminder texts and emails before appointments - Waiting list management for cancellations - Color coding by client, barn, or service type ### Horse & Client Records - Detailed horse profiles: breed, age, weight, shoe size, trim notes, photos - Client profiles with barn address, gate codes, and contact preferences - Multi-horse clients with per-horse appointment tracking - Photo log for before/after documentation ### Field Invoicing & Payments - Generate invoices on-site from your phone in seconds - Itemized billing for shoes, trims, pads, medications, and travel - Accept credit card payments via Stripe integration - Automatic invoice delivery via email or text - Outstanding balance tracking and overdue reminders ### Route Optimization - Map view of all scheduled stops for the day - Automatic clustering of appointments by geography - Turn-by-turn directions between barn stops - Drive time estimates for realistic scheduling - Weekly route planning to minimize total mileage ### Treatment & Shoe History - Full shoeing/trim history per horse - Log shoe type, nail pattern, pads, and special treatments - Flag horses with health concerns or behavioral notes - Exportable records for veterinary sharing ### Business Analytics - Revenue tracking by week, month, and year - Top clients by revenue and appointment volume - Service mix breakdown (new shoes vs. resets vs. trims) - No-show and cancellation rate tracking - Mileage log for tax purposes ## Pricing - Starter: Free — up to 20 active clients - Pro: Monthly subscription — unlimited clients, invoicing, route optimization - Team: Multi-farrier operations with shared client database ## Hoof Care Record Book + Cycle Reminders (for horse owners) A separate product from the farrier dashboard above, aimed at horse owners rather than professional farriers: - **Hoof Care Record Book** ($29 one time): a personalized record book generated from a short builder at /record-book-builder. Includes a farrier visit log (sized to horse count), a cycle countdown calendar (computed from last-visit date and trim/shoeing cycle length, with reschedule guidance), a farrier visit prep sheet (tuned to discipline and selected concerns), a hoof health observation checklist (observable signs only: heat, digital pulse, odor, cracks, gait changes, each with a "call your farrier or equine veterinarian if..." threshold; a laminitis early-warning card appears when that concern is selected), a cost tracker (typical categories: trim, reset, full new set, emergency call, with blanks for the buyer's own farrier's rates), and a seasonal care calendar by moisture region (wet, dry, or seasonal swing). - **Cycle Reminders membership** ($4.99/mo or $29/yr): optional, bundled with the book at checkout with the first 30 days included, or added later as a free 30-day trial from the book delivery page. Sends reminder emails timed to the horse's own cycle (7 days and 2 days before next due), a monthly hoof-health check reminder, and seasonal care topics by region. Members can log a completed visit anytime to reset the countdown, and update their cycle length or region. - This is a document-organization and record-keeping tool, not veterinary or farrier advice. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. Always consult a farrier or equine veterinarian for anything specific to a horse. - Reviews (real, verified-purchase only): https://farrieriq.com/reviews ## Key Links - [Home](https://farrieriq.com/): Platform overview - [Sign Up](https://farrieriq.com/signup): Create an account - [Pricing](https://farrieriq.com/pricing): Plans and features - [Hoof Care Record Book Builder](https://farrieriq.com/record-book-builder): Build a personalized record book - [Reviews](https://farrieriq.com/reviews): Verified buyer reviews ## Frequently Asked Questions **What makes FarrierIQ different from a generic scheduling app?** FarrierIQ is built around the farrier workflow — it understands trim cycles, multi-horse barn visits, and field invoicing. Generic apps require workarounds for every farrier-specific task. **Can I use FarrierIQ from my phone while I'm at a barn?** Yes. The iOS and Android apps are designed for field use — log a treatment, generate an invoice, and collect payment without ever going back to your truck. **Does FarrierIQ handle recurring appointments automatically?** Yes. Set a trim cycle for each horse and FarrierIQ will prompt you to schedule the next appointment at the right interval, keeping your schedule filled without manual tracking. **Can multiple farriers share a client database?** Yes. The Team plan supports multiple farrier accounts with shared client records, so apprentices and associates can see the same horse histories and schedule. **Is my client data private?** Yes. FarrierIQ does not share client or horse data with third parties. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. **Is the Hoof Care Record Book the same as the farrier dashboard software?** No. The farrier dashboard above is business software for professional farriers. The Hoof Care Record Book is a separate, simple $29 record book for horse owners tracking their own horse's care, with no login and no ongoing software to learn. **Do I need the Cycle Reminders membership to use the record book?** No. The record book is available as a one-time purchase with no ongoing charge. The membership only adds reminder emails and is optional.
