LiveryList and LIVERYLive Working Together for a Better Industry

Not everyone who runs a livery yard has experience of running a business and there is so much to think about – safety, liability, employment and earning a living. Many yards start out as a passion project and develop into successful businesses, but those with a passion to work with horses are often not experienced with business administration and management, nor client management, it can be a steep learning curve and getting professional advice can be an expensive option, particularly for start-ups.

LiveryList have teamed up with LIVERYLive to help livery yards with all aspects of stable management, client management and marketing.

The Era of Digital Management

Whether you are just starting out or thinking of expanding your services, LIVERYLive can help you manage development. LIVERYLive – the complete app for equine yard management, was designed by an award-winning yard manager with first-hand experience and is based on real life insights of what makes a ‘great yard’ in terms of yard and client management.

LIVERYLive has been designed to make yard management smoother and easier for yard owners, yard managers and the yard team. LIVERYLive reduces the hours spent on time-consuming admin and frees you up to tackle other, often more important aspects of yard management. LIVERYLive can also help you manage your yard team better, with an interactive to-do list that can allocate jobs, record both routine tasks and additional requests from liveries and add extra costs directly onto a livery’s bill.

Manage Your Yard Wherever You Are

LIVERYLive also means you, your clients and your yard team, can have the app on your portable devices meaning you can easily use it when you’re on the yard or on the go, and gives you gives you live time information that yard staff and liveries can see at all times. This reduces time needed to be spent in the office.

Having a single app also makes it easier to record client requests and billing requirements as it’s all there for you to see in the palm of your hand, and no longer needing to be written in diaries, on white boards, or tracking through texts or social media to check owner requests.

Keeping Yard Admin to a Minimum

LIVERYLive provides a single place for you to keep and easily access vital yard documents like insurance policies, vaccination records and emergency contact details for staff, liveries and horses. If you don’t already have processes that involve requesting certain information or documents from your clients, such as passport or insurance details, from your clients, then this is where LiveryList can help.

LiveryList has a comprehensive and dedicated Yard Owner Hub providing a free catalogue of resources on all aspects of client and business management including client communication, horse and client records, template livery contracts, biosecurity and welfare resources, employment guidance and health and safety guidance.
