Covetrus AVImark vs. Solutionreach

Avimark is very helpful with inventory, accounting, medical record keeping. Customer service is also amazing, they are very helpful most of the time when you call in to address an issue or ask them to help you figure out a shortcut way of doing things that would make everyones' jobs easier. We use Avimark to prompt for documents that we have created with "merge" words.

I would stay away from this company. Not sure why the change, but over the past 2 years literally every level of the organization from tech support through to the CEO has shown complete lack of responsiveness, concern or interest in solving their most loyal client's most basic problems. Their incompetence finally drove us to cancel our accounts after over 10 years with them.

• Sending out weekly, daily, and hourly appointment reminders via text, email and phone call.
• Their customer service reps are almost always available right when you need them, and are very easy-going and helpful.
• This service changes the game for our office! It sets us apart from many other offices who can't offer the services that we can with SR. I mean how many of you can currently TEXT your dental office directly?! We can! :)

• Being able to adjust "remove appointment" options on the calendar. Would be nice to change the type to different stages of the exam (i.e. 'checked in', 'with tech', 'with doctor', 'checked out'), rather than just whether the appointment was kept, rescheduled, late, etc.
• Inventory monitoring and receiving. There is little provided in terms of inventory control or alerting appropriate users if counts are off (like going into negatives). Variancing is also particularly time consuming and difficult
• Better integration with other types of credit card processing companies or technology.

• Landline versus mobile and email. If a patient has a landline and an email or a landline and a mobile number it automatically eliminates the landline confirmation. Some of our eldery patients don't like or know how to text but they have a cellphone. I have a multitude of patients I still have to make a confirmation phone call to because SR won't send a landline call because they have a mobile number.
• Newsletter editing. Wish it was a little easier to edit. That being said I do love the overall selection and use of Newsletters.

We save too much time with Solution Reach to turn back now.

I find the program to be very user-friendly. This is software that is easy to use and understand. There are a number of shortcut keys that make it even easier to use. When teaching AVImark to new employees with zero veterinary experience, they pick up how to use AVImark quickly.

Because I am all about customer service and they are right on it!

AVImark is the first and only veterinary software program I have used. I had very limited dealings with Chameleon and used PetPoint and Humane Solutions in a previous job that was in a shelter setting and there is no comparison of those products with AVImark. AVImark is more robust in its reporting, scheduling, and inventory tracking than what I knew of PetPoint and Humane Solutions.

Solutionreach, in my opinion, is more user-friendly. They are also very quick to offer a helping hand in areas that might stump us. I also love that unlike Demandforce when we were using it Solutionreach is always on top of things. If for some reason our server has an issue and they don't receive the upload they need with our information someone is on the phone calling me to let me know. This is not the case with all software systems most don't inform you, you have to call for help when you notice that it hasn't uploaded with the data. This could put you weeks behind on your correspondence.

• We moved to a different credit card company and are saving $40K dollars in fees from what World Pay was charging us

Incentivized

• Increased revenue from appointments that may have been missed had they not received a confirmation or reminder call about an appointment. Able to fill that spot with someone else...
• Keeps our physicians in the forefront of the patients minds when thinking about healthcare for their child.
• We take pride in being a part of a family in assisting them with the care of their children. So birthday reminders and fun flyers or newsletters allow us to stay connected.
