Pros and cons

This was a great, easy, and super useful addition to our services. Clients love the ease with which they can now book out of hours.
The team behind Vetstoria are outstanding too. Alway's more than happy to help and solving queries & issues in a phenomenally short time.
The software is super easy to use and manage the effortless online booking flow. When I needed help from customer support they were quick to respond and resolved my challenge with ease.
The only thing this software is missing is a required questionnaire for clients booking an appointment.
Initial zoom meetings to set up as could not see the rep and had a heavy accent, really find the initial meetings very hard and delayed getting set up.
I wish we could have some doctors on 30 minute slots and others on 40 minutes, but it is a problem of the program we use I think.

Clients love it and more importantly use it. It links to our PMS seamlessly and reduces staff work.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Flexibity for our clients in making bookings and the reduction of work on our reception team.

Pros

The seamless integration with RxWorks. The minimal maintenance and the ease with which to make changes within the program itself.

Cons

Nothing. I have found that the software is relevant to our needs and easy to use. It takes little of my time the manage and both staff and clients find it great.

If you use Avimark, this isn't the online booking tool you want.

Reviewed 3 years ago

I have never had a stellar experience. This company is based overseas, so calling for help is impossible. They did recently open a stateside helpdesk, but you still can't call it and are obliged to send in an email and then wait for a response. There is not enough done to keep clients from scheduling incorrectly. Vetstoria relies on people at the clinic to keep an eye on the mail all day in order to make sure appointments are appropriately scheduled. If they aren't, we are supposed to call and redo the appointment. Firstly, we don't have time to sit watching email. Secondly, if we DO catch an inappropriate appointment, more often than not, the client is angry that we have to change the appointment. I don't feel it's worth the money.

Pros

It enables clients to make their own appointments online at their convenience.

Cons

It is difficult to configure the software to keep clients from scheduling the wrong kind of appointments for their needs. Does not read monthly blockoffs from Avimark, only on-the-fly blockoffs, so if you like to use monthly blockoffs in order to streamline your scheduling and keep just anyone from changing the blocks, Vetstoria will allow clients to schedule appointments over times that are blocked for surgery or blocked because the doctor is out of the office. To remedy this, one must then spend hours re-blocking the times already blocked.

Easy for customers to use

Reviewed a month ago

customer service has always been really helpful and understanding how important being able to book online is to our clinic.

Pros

when trying to reduce phone calls for making appointments, Vetstoria has really helped drive online bookings and this has reduced our time on the phone, leaving available reception to look after sick and emergency phone calls.

Cons

its quote hard to set up all the different customs but customer service is super helpful and are able to set everything up they way that works for your individual clinic.

Hi Sarah - Thanks for the great review! We're glad you're experiencing reduced phone call volume and are able to spend more time helping sick and injured pets - this is great news. Our team are always available should you ever need assistance. Many thanks Team Vetstoria

Fantastic customer support

Reviewed 2 months ago

Helps us retain clients who like to book online, captures those who look at our website and allows us to put new clinics and ideas out on on website

Pros

Vetstoria integrates perfectly with our PMS, its seamless booking system on our website is customised and reliable. I highly recommend this product to anyone needing online booking - its easy to use, and if you get stuck, customer support is always there to answer even the silliest of questions!

Cons

It can seem a bit complicated, but once you get the hang of it, its easy - with great back up support if you get stuck.

Vendor response

Hi Sian, thanks so much for the review. The platform can seem a little overwhelming at first! There are a lot of ways it can be customized to perfectly mirror your existing processes and preferences. We're glad you've got the hang of it and see how valuable the level of control is. If you ever need any assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out! Many thanks Team Vetstoria

Vetstoria is an exciting program!

Reviewed 5 days ago

Everyone that I spoke to was extremely helpful and informative and we are looking forward to implementing the program.

Pros

We are getting ready to go live with Vetstoria, so I don't have any experince with it as yet, other than the learning process. I like the fact that our clients will be able to schedule their appointments for their pets at their leisure, even when we are closed. This will save us so much time on the telephone, enabling us to take more calls that we might not be able to get to.

Cons

I would have to say that the only thing that I didn't care for was the length of time it takes, and number of calls that are spread out over several weeks to get to onboarding. I would much rather have had, 1 very long call over the course of a day to get it going.

Vendor response

Hi Lisa, thanks for the great review, and feedback! The team were happy to read your review and we are pleased to report that we are now starting our new onboarding journey - ensuring a faster setup process for our clients! We look forward to seeing what your clinic achieves with Vetstoria, and once you're up and running for a while we'd love to hear your thoughts on the 'Value for Money' criteria too. If you ever need any assistance please don't hesitate to reach out. Many thanks Vetstoria Team

Stress-free implementation of veterinary online booking

Reviewed 5 years ago

Ease of booking for clients, therefore more bookings. More efficient use of employees' time.

Pros

Clients love the ability to book appointments at their own pace. Receptionists love that they have more time to devote to clients on non-booking phonecalls. I love it because my staff are more available when I need them. Once set up, the system works quietly in the background. Online bookings are flagged on the scheduler, making it easy to see which appointments were booked online - these are then triaged, to ensure that they are seeing the most appropriate vet at the most appropriate time.

Cons

Clients are able to book at times that leave unuseable gaps ie first free slot at 4.30pm, but client chooses 4.40pm - leaving 10 minutes wasted.

Great scheduling platform!

Reviewed a year ago

Vetstoria has helped with the amount of phone calls that we receive and has reduced the time that a receptionist needs to spend on that phone call with a client to book that appointment.

Pros

The ease of using the live scheduling system is so nice. Our clients can put in the day or time that works best for them to help filter out other appts. It's also very easy for us to get those appts scheduled by seeing the emails that are coming in. My favorite part is having available for clients to schedule while we are closed so we don't have a million phones when we open in the morning. I haven't had to call/email the tech support team a lot but when I do they are extremely fast getting back to me.

Cons

I haven't seen any cons as of right now for what we use Vetstoria for.

Vetstoria has been an excellent addition to our practice's suite of customer service tools.

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Our clients often comment on how easy it was for them to make an appointment. A lot of the web-based appointments are made outside of the hospital's opening hours so it effectively allows our client access to us 24/7. The ability for clients to choose their veterinarian is great. In addition the fact we can select what species each vet is comfortable seeing is a bonus. Once the system is set up it just operates in the background and needs little to no maintenance other than adding new veterinarians, public holidays etc. Vetstoria has worked seamlessly with our RxWorks system. It was also very easy to add to our practice website and Facebook pages.

Cons

The set up took a little bit of work as we had to change a few things on our RxWorks practice management. None of this was too difficult and has actually improved our efficiency in a few other areas! It would be nice for clients to be able to indicate that they are happy to see any veterinarian even though they need to select a particular one at the time of booking. Our reception staff have to ask when the client arrives.

Comprehensive online booking platform that fully integrates with RX Works.

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The fact that it fully integrates with RX Works and all of our digital platforms (Facebook, website, Google etc) is fantastic, allowing our clients to seamlessly book an appointment 24/7, freeing up valuable nurse time, as well as making the booking process as easy as possible for our clients. It's able to be fully customised, allowing us to have 100% control over what appointments are available when, with which vet and for what animal. The customer service and technical support has also been 1st class, with any and all issues promptly resolved, along with many suggestions and support on how to maximise the software 100%.

Cons

For future upgrades it would be highly beneficial for the software to have the ability to automatically update the client and patient info in RX Works, along with further increasing the compatibility of the two platforms to interact with each other more seamlessly.

Great Software

Reviewed 2 years ago

Vetstoria has been great and extremely flexible. They are willing to do what it takes to make clients happy. We only experienced down-time once in about a year and a half of using them. It was for about 2 days, but they were working on the malfunction ever since the moment we brought it to their attention.

Pros

I work for a high-volume spay and neuter clinic. This software has drastically helped to address the high call volume we would receive, allowing our staff to increase the quality of the service we provide. The

Cons

The only thing this software is missing is a required questionnaire for clients booking an appointment. I wanted to implement a checklist that clients would HAVE to read and HAVE to acknowledge to ensure that they fully understood the commitment they were making (to reduce no-shows). However, this feature is not present and has not yet been added. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Great platform for a rapidly expanding, multi-location practice

Reviewed 5 years ago

Online booking is incredibly easy and user intuitive. No problems at all from our clients. We've had roughly 200 online appointment bookings in the past month.

Pros

- Pricing structure is perfect. ROI in one day, easy. - Onboard process was thorough and informative (not super quick, but for good reason). - The team have been excellent communicators and provide great customer service. - Swift and thorough responses to any questions - Seamless widget and great user experience - Very customizable; many of the concerns my DVMs and receptionists had with online booking were addressed through settings. - Minimal staff training required (I have access to the VetStoria dashboard, and my reception team just works through Vetter per usual.)

Cons

New clients booking online require a follow-up phonecall or email in order for us to obtain additional pertinent information or know where to call for previous records. This can become an inefficiency and time-suck for receptionists if you have a great deal of new clients booking online (we're growing rapidly - 400 new clients a month overall with 90 of these new clients booking online in the past month). This is truly my only perceived con. I have been discussing this with VetStoria and will update this review if they build out a feature to solve this problem.

Easy, effective and cost positive

Reviewed 3 years ago

We have been entirely impressed with the quick setup, efficient intregration and effective customer service. We strongly recommend this product, it has been nothing but a benefit to our business

Pros

Vetstoria has very effectively integrated with our PMS (idexx animana), and has demonstrated significant value in terms of increased bookings (usually done out of hours), and reduction in phone calls into the clinic allowing for increased staff productivity by reducing work load over the phone. Furthermore as a start up clinic we are marketing to a modern client base which expect online booking, of which Vetstoria provides us with.

Cons

We have minimal issues with the services, the only issue was setting up of the unavailable appointments was a little confusing, but easily managed once understood

Well worth it

Reviewed 2 years ago

Good. Vetstoria is a great product and well worth it. It is fairly new to us so we are working out a kink here and there. Nothing that wasn't expected.

Pros

Vetstoria saves my front staff time now that customers can schedule their own.

Cons

The AI is much to strict on matching clients input to existing clients. So pretty much all entries come in as unmatched even though they are current clients. Something as small as a period (.) after Mrs-will make it not match.

Great for appointment scheduling!

Reviewed 3 years ago

We are able to schedule appointments with this software 24/7 with little to no employee time needed! This makes focusing on our patients much easier!

Pros

Being in a multi veterinarian practice, the Veterinary Online Booking software is amazing. Not only does the software cut down on extra work for our employees, but it also makes it extremely accessible to our clients. We have the ability to fully customize what veterinarians are available and when they can see patients. We are also able to block off certain days that we are not open!!

Cons

Learning to use the software and installing it can be time consuming. I believe that is really the only downside to this software. Other than that it's fantastic.

Easy for the non tech savvy

Reviewed a year ago

Vetstoria is beneficial to our business. The demand for booking online is ever increasing and lessens the large volume of incoming calls, allowing our front of staff to have more time engaging with clients in the practice.

Pros

The software, in particular the self service portal is easy to use, even for the non tech savvy user. Modifying the settings to correlate with our changing schedules in the veterinary practice is quick and not time consuming. You can easily customise the software and be incredibly detailed or start by using a basic format and tweaking as required.

Cons

In regards to appointment scheduling, at times it does not pick up length of appointment required, however this is more to do with the client booking the appointment.

The product is good, I am sure they will make it great at some point.

Reviewed a year ago

Overall, Vetstoria filled the gap we had by providing an online scheduling system that integrates with our PIMS. The customer support team is good at responding to inquiries. The UX can improve to make it sleeker but it looks pretty good as it is.

Pros

Integrates with Idexx Neo. It allows for customization with our color scheme.

Cons

Integration with idexx neo is not great. The company logo doesnt look as nice, it is small and loses quality once uploaded. The links don't work as intended sometimes (the ones we create aside from the original link to use).
