Consolidate Your Technology and Do Less, Better
As a Vetcelerator Member, your access to solutions that improve clinic performance and reduce costs continues to grow. This week, we’re spotlighting Chckvet, a company helping our members do the simple things well by aligning technology through their integrated platform.
There are a lot of ways to improve the operations of a veterinary practice, and incorporating technology thoughtfully into your approach is generally a good idea. What can happen, however, is that you look back two years later to find multiple disconnected solutions. The operations and tasks that you wanted to implement in order to better your practice become cumbersome to manage, and the promised benefit is never achieved.
There is a natural tendency to go after shiny objects (like the newest solution to solve your problems). Instead, the trick is to do the simple things well in the ways that generate current and future growth to your veterinary clinic.
How Chckvet Improves Veterinary Practices
Chckvet does the simple things well and integrates them together in an all-in-one practice tool. It combines real-time online scheduling, client communication (reminders and 2-way text), reputation/review management, and business analytics all within an intuitive user experience. Here are our favorite parts and why Vetcelerator selected Chckvet as a partner:
1: Simple Online Scheduling for Vet Clinics
Online scheduling is often underutilized in independent veterinary practices, but business needs are changing. Clinics that adapt to incorporating this technology will see new clients increase and existing client satisfaction improve.
2: Informative Analytics Dashboard
The Daily Huddle is the definition of doing less, better. The Daily Huddle Dashboard is the place where practice owners, managers, and CSRs can agree upon small, simple numbers that will drastically improve the business. The simple metrics are sales, average transaction, and forward booking. If you know those numbers and how to influence them, you will have success. Chckvet knows this and makes it easy for veterinary practices to know and influence those metrics. For those who want more, customized reporting from your PIMS to the platform is available.
3: Two-Way Communication with Pet Owners
Chckvet has two-way communication that works. Automating reminders and native chat functionality is prevalent across many client communication platforms, though having these functions integrated in this platform makes it easy to use, so the reminders and chat actually happen.
4: Pricing That Makes Sense
Pricing is simple and straightforward. Veterinary practices utilizing multiple systems will likely save money by using Chckvet’s platform, where online booking, texting, chat, and analytics come together, along with other features.
Why Does the Analytics Dashboard Matter for Your Veterinary Clinic?
We at Vetcelerator are big fans of harnessing the information that comes from analytics dashboards. So why does a simple dashboard from Chckvet matter for your practice? It specifically has to do with forward booking and fill rate.
The Well-Managed Practice Benchmark study shows average full-time equivalent DVM production to be $687,400 with an average transaction range of $175-$200. These numbers assume something like 300 visits a month, which is only about 13-15 visits a day.
Increasing the fill rate through better client confirmation and forward booking by 1 more visit per day would generate:
- $925 per week
- $4000 per month
- $48,000 per year
These numbers would be equivalent to increasing your prices roughly 7.25% across the board. Ask yourself, Which is easier to achieve?
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
“The Daily Huddle feature is great. Really focused on a few key metrics, like confirming and forwarding booking to increase fill rate. And all right there for you to see, not buried in reports.”
