The Problem

Independent veterinary clinics across Europe — especially in Southern and Eastern Europe — are running their practices on outdated, server-based software (or worse, paper records and Excel spreadsheets).

Specific evidence:

From industry reports and forums:

  • "Many European veterinary practices still contend with server-based, on-premise practice management software requiring extensive IT support" — Research and Markets 2025
  • VetIT Services (UK IT consultancy) reports: "Legacy on-premise veterinary systems create bottlenecks and hold back practices... paper records remain common"
  • Co.vet blog: "Practices struggle with poor integration between PMS, diagnostic equipment, and client communication platforms... data silos and redundant manual data entry"
  • Cambidge Pet Tech reports: "Complex interfaces and insufficient training resources lead to low user adoption rates and staff frustration"
  • Multiple Reddit/forum threads from vet practice managers: "We track inventory in a spreadsheet, appointments in a paper book, and billing in QuickBooks — there must be a better way"

Key pain points for independent vet clinics:

  • No online booking — clients call to schedule, tying up reception staff
  • Paper or legacy-digital records — animal medical histories fragmented, no easy search
  • Manual inventory tracking — drugs and supplies tracked in spreadsheets; stockouts common
  • No client communication — no automated vaccination reminders, no appointment confirmations
  • Disconnected diagnostics — lab results and imaging not linked to patient records
  • Zero analytics — no visibility into practice performance, revenue per vet, procedure profitability
