PIMS Acquisition Navigator

Understand the PIMS you inherited before you ask the team to change it.

We audit the system, data, contracts, integrations, workflows, and change readiness - then help you make and execute a defensible keep, optimize, or switch decision.

Starting at $6,500 8-12 weeks No referral fees

A recommendation built around your situation.

VetSoftwareHub accepts no referral fees, commissions, affiliate revenue, or vendor funding for your engagement. The process is designed to surface fit, risk, and tradeoffs - including a recommendation not to switch when that is the stronger answer.

The process

A structured path built for this decision.

The answer is not automatically a replacement. The engagement first makes the inherited operation visible, then matches the recommendation and change sequence to the evidence.

01

Inherited-system audit

Inventory licenses, access, hosting, contracts, renewal windows, hardware, integrations, data exports, backups, and known support issues.

02

Owner and staff listening

Hear what the team relies on, where workarounds live, what frustrates them, and which changes threaten continuity or trust.

03

Workflow and tribal-knowledge capture

Map the real clinical and business processes before key knowledge disappears or a new system erases useful habits.

04

Change-readiness assessment

Identify sponsors, champions, morale and turnover risks, timing constraints, and the team’s capacity for another major transition.

05

Keep, optimize, or switch decision

Compare current-state risk, available optimization, switching cost, and the measurable upside of alternatives.

06

Roadmap or structured selection

Deliver an optimization and adoption roadmap, or continue through shortlist, comparable demos, references, contract guidance, and a sequenced change plan.

What you get

A documented decision trail, not a recommendation on faith.

Independent owner-operators and small groups acquiring an established veterinary practice. Legal due diligence, full data migration execution, and enterprise change-management programs are scoped separately.

05Why VetSoftwareHub

An independent partner whose only incentive is your fit.

Most “advice” in this space is paid for by a vendor. This isn't. The Selection Navigator is built on a single principle: the recommendation is based solely on the fit between a vendor's capabilities and your documented requirements.

An advocate in the room

I attend every vendor demo alongside your team, asking the hard questions, keeping vendors honest, and holding them accountable to what they promised long after the demo ends.

Strict vendor neutrality

No referral fees, no affiliate revenue, no vendor sponsorship of your engagement. Ever. Our only job is to find you the best fit.

35 years in software

Roughly a decade focused on veterinary software, including prior service as CEO of a veterinary software company.

Independent research

We co-authored the Companion Animal Veterinary Software Guide research series, one of the most comprehensive independent research series on veterinary software and services.

An independent directory

VetSoftwareHub tracks 225+ veterinary solutions across 25+ categories. It's the map behind every shortlist. We accept no referral fees, commissions, or payments of any kind from PIMS vendors.

The vendor-neutrality pledge

VetSoftwareHub accepts no referral fees, commissions, or payments of any kind from PIMS vendors. Every recommendation is based solely on the fit between the vendor's capabilities and your documented requirements.
