Breaking the Mold: Veterinary Practice Management Your Way

Veterinary practice management has evolved as technology and tools become more advanced. Cloud-based veterinary software like Shepherd provides the flexibility, efficiency, and convenience that small business managers need to accommodate the style that works best for them. With cloud-based software solutions and integrations, you can manage your practice your way, from anywhere.

Gain flexibility with cloud-based veterinary practice management software

Flexibility is a crucial feature of cloud-based software that allows veterinary practice managers the freedom to work from anywhere. No longer tethered to a physical computer system, office, or desk to run the clinic, you can work from home or anywhere with internet access. Veterinary clinics are busy places, and managers can be pulled in a million directions to put out fires or help with patient care. However, you can drastically improve productivity by working outside the practice one or two days a week. 

Cloud-based veterinary practice management software also allows you to accomplish management tasks while traveling for business. 

Streamline repetitive tasks with advanced software features

Shepherd’s cloud-based solution is packed with features that make veterinary practice management easier. Here are a few key practice management perks you’ll find in our cloud-based software:

• Inventory management — You can track inventory in real time, set reorder alerts, run reports, and avoid running out of items needed for patient care. Use our inventory insights to adjust purchasing habits, reduce waste, and make quarterly hard counts less painful.
• Reports — Use data to analyze appointments, trends, revenue, expenses, and other figures that shape your management decisions. Shepherd offers robust reporting features that allow practice owners and managers to know and understand their key performance metrics.
• Charge capture — Inaccurate billing and missed charges can add up to significant revenue losses. Shepherd’s software automatically captures charges when they are added to the patient’s medical record and treatment plan. With just one more click they’re added to the invoice! 
• Shepherd Pay — Shepherd Pay integrates payment solutions directly into your PIMS, simplifying the transaction process and allowing clients to pay online. Faster payments and less redundancy mean you can focus on what matters most — tending to the patients in your care. 

Customize veterinary business workflows

Whether you run an emergency clinic, mobile vet practice, single-owner general practice, or a practice with multiple service locations, your veterinary software must meet your unique needs. With a cloud-based software solution like Shepherd, you’ll have everything you need to ensure smooth workflows. Plus, Shepherd integrates with many leading service providers and third-party platforms, so you can build a customized suite of tools and limit back-and-forth toggling between programs. 

Some key integrations that can help practice managers customize their workflows for optimal productivity include:

• Inventory Ally — This smart technology analyzes sales, current inventory, product values, and more to automatically generate accurate orders and counting protocols.
• Cubex — Ensure seamless communication between Cubex controlled drugs and your practice software.
• FetchIt — Fetchit pulls up client and patient information automatically when clients call, helping teams handle calls more efficiently.
• AllyDVM — Streamline client communication, retention, and loyalty with AllyDVM to reduce your team’s workload and keep clients engaged.
• Chckup — Use advanced data analytics to make informed decisions and grow your practice.

Cloud-based systems like Shepherd are designed to scale up as you add new team members, expand services, offer mobile care, or open additional locations. A cloud-based platform is virtually limitless, with no worries about server size, data storage, or licensing limitations. With Shepherd, you pay per doctor, not team size.
