Pros It had really good workflows and templates for Equine medicine Cons It was not capable of working with small animal workflow needs. It just didn't work.

" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 June 18, 2018 More report options Pros The variety of information it offers. It can do some real complex reports. Customer support has been helpful. Cons It's not as user friendly as I would have expected. It seems to lack the ability to run simple information. Way too many clicks, very complex system! Inventory Management very complex and is taking a ton of time to learn, even after 18 months we still have stuff incorrect.

Administrative Assistant / Accounts payable Accounting ### "I appreciate the versatilty of the software but we are all extremely frustrated with slowness!!" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 June 15, 2018 Pros The navigation between different areas of info are very helpful, there are many ways to get to the information you are looking for. I appreciate the many filter options that help refine searches. (I am not able to answer the Value for Money as I do o know about costs for system. ) Cons The biggest issue of all for our entire hospital is slowness! It is slow trying to type in information, it is slow searching for patient histories, it continues to get slower if you are trying to search by invoice (presumably because there are so many invoices now?). When you are sending an e-mail thru HVMS and trying to type a note, say sending a statement to a client, it would be SO Helpful if you could save a draft! Having to cancel the e-mail because you get a phone call before completing the note is super frustrating!! It is not uncommon for HVMS to completely freeze up and randomly just close the system without warning, screen just suddenly goes black. That is a frustrating loss of all the screens you had open, you better remember all of the different things you had going on. Closing the month for billing has always been slow but has been extremely slow recently, we often have to have the entire staff close down their computers for 20 - 40 minutes while trying to close the month but a couple of times lately it was 4 - 6 Hours! What a waste of time for sooo many employees (we have about 70 employees, large practice) and the sudden loss of the treatment plan is really hard on our employees doing treatments.

Associate Veterinarian ### "Was difficult to get used to at first but with more use, it has become much easier." 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 June 14, 2018 Pros A comprehensive product. Invoicing is easy. Allows us to keep detailed notes on patients, easy to go back and get history from previous visits from worksheets. Rapid billing. Cons Occasional bugs and issues connecting to VPN. Wish we had an application for iPhones. Inventory counter will occasionally expire even though replication time span has been extended for our company.

AU Anonymous User Practice Manager ### "HVMS offers a complete equine platform, but we have struggled with software fixes." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 14, 2018 It allows us more control in how we manage our business and supplies us with more data than I have seen available from other software platforms. Pros HVMS offers a more complete platform of software services than any other I have seen currently on the market. Their inventory management software has allowed us to completely revolutionize the way we manage our inventory. Now we track everything and save thousands in lost product. Overall the software is user friendly and is easy to teach to new hires. The appointment schedule is easy to use. The billing for clients is set up in a way that makes sense for equine clients, and allows for split ownership and leasing of horses. The invoices are easy to read and our clients love them. When the software is working properly, the medical history tab is very functional and allows for a very detailed medical record. I appreciate the many reports available within HVMS and regularly use the production reports to track revenue by doctor and compare month to month. The accounts receivable reports are easy to use and very helpful. Cons We have struggled with software fixes, and errors within the software. Although the help desk is often available, it can take days or weeks to identify and correct errors we are experiencing with the software. HVMS IT is quick to blame our onsite hardware, which is rarely the cause of the problem. The reminder system leaves a lot to be desired. We have abandoned the reminders that are printed by the software and instead use the data to create our own digital reminders. With all that HVMS is capable of, emailing reminders to clients should be an available function. HVMS is slow to fix reports that don't pull data correctly. Seems like they could use more programmers. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 June 14, 2018 Easy to do review Pros Worksheets create a Medical Record and an invoice. Day ends are relatively easy. It shows who booked who created or changed invoices. Good security levels for users Cons Not the best system for tracking financial end of business. Reports are confusing. Having to make separate invoices for each animal even though they are owned by the same person.

Practice Manager ### "Overall user friendly with good support, easy to access patient and client info, some glitches." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 June 13, 2018 Pros Scheduling multiple doctors. The view of the schedule and ability to modify appointments easily is helpful, especially during very busy times. Allowing us to be able to personalize events is beneficial on keeping the doctors organized and efficient. Cons Reports. Not easily readable, typically confusing, or not the information we are looking for. The names of reports are not always indicative of the information that will be given. It typically takes several attempts to find the right report and select the correct filters to get to the information needed.

Inventory Manager Veterinary ### "I am the main point of contact at our clinic for HVMS support requests." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 June 13, 2018 Pros It seems to be a well-rounded software. I like the integration of bar codes and supplier translations. Will go back to using the Reorder Matrix to import into orders, now that the sales tax issue is fixed. Cons Would like to see the creation and modification of worksheets be more user-friendly. Would like to see more suppliers integrated into HVMS for ordering (perhaps via Vetcove?). Would LOVE to see the Mins/Maxs tab operate using a Min and a Max number and allow it to determine the order amount based on the MAX number vs the QOH for that item. Would like a more specific way to track/account for inventory that is used in-house and not billed to clients - other than making adjustments.
