Veterinary Practices today demand a quality of information and administration to match the care and service that veterinary surgeons afford their patients. This is particularly true in multi discipline practices caring for all types of animals, both large and small.

AniMate is a multi-user, multi-tasking system so that you can have any number of disciplines using the facilities at the same time. The payments of client's accounts can be performed on a screen in the office, whilst, at the same time, surgeons in the consulting rooms are accessing the case histories of patients.

You will find the system easy to use and sufficiently flexible to cope with regional and personal idiosyncrasies.

AniMate will cope with large and small animals and will run equally well for a one-man practice or a fully-fledged animal hospital.

AniMate is written in the SeaChange 4GL programming language and runs on the internationally recognised SCO OpenServer Unix operating system to give stability and scalability. This scalability allows both the small practice and large undertakings to benefit from AniMate because the same software can be supported over a wide range of computer architecture without a single change to the program.

By attaching a barcode reader to AniMate you can save keying in long item codes when goods are received or issued - one stroke of the wand will enter the data.

AniMate provides automatic updating of National Veterinary Supplies item prices using the price update disk supplied by NVS The automatic price update eliminates typing errors and saves you the manual effort and time involved in the updating of hundreds (or thousands) of prices.

The system will print the labels to be attached to the items you dispense.

If so required, even with the full system installed, it is still possible for you to start small by using the system to keep clinical records and perform the automatic pricing and invoicing of dispensed items. As familiarity increases, you can build up to using the full potential of the accounting package.

You can control your stock with the stock control ledger and your finances with the invoice and sales ledgers. As an option, you can have a purchase ledger integrated into the system The nominal ledger consolidates all the other ledgers.
