IT’S MORE DIFFICULT THAN EVER TO RUN A SUCCESSFUL VETERINARY BUSINESS
Veterinarians often tell us how stressed and busy their workday is. They feel bogged down with administrative and financial tasks while also trying to provide the best patient care. It’s easy for important issues to slip through the cracks.

IMPROVE BUSINESS PROCESSES

Improve customer engagement and make it easier for clients to make appointments with online appointment booking, automated reminders, and other powerful communication tools.
A FULL APPOINTMENT CALENDAR MAY NOT MEAN FULL PROFITABILITY
Many practices believe that a busy clinic and a full calendar mean a successful business. But they don't see hidden inefficiencies, such as untrained staff, missed charges, and inconsistent standards of care. Some practice owners may also have limited business management experience. These factors combined can drain profitability from a business.

THE REAL COST OF A NON-OPTIMIZED PRACTICE
In most practices, missed charges account for up to 5% in lost revenue yearly. In some practices, it can be as high as 30%.
Practices can spend an extra 3 minutes per client at checkout and 25 hours of reconciliation time per 500 swipes when credit card processing is not integrated with practice management software.
Computers in a busy veterinary practice are likely to last only 3 to 5 years. Older computers don’t support newer operating systems, and crashes and slow performance drastically affect staff productivity.
