For UK farm-vet practices
How much of your working capital is sitting unbilled on a farmer's kitchen table?
Usually a six-figure sum — and it's stuck behind one person. The senior vet, who spends the first week of every month checking, altering and approving a pile of bills. FarmVet Hub turns that crunch into a few minutes a day: vets capture in the field, the senior reviews each visit as it lands, and on day 1 of the next month every invoice is ready to post.

Where the money actually leaks.
Two leaks. First and biggest: medicines dispensed in the field that never make it onto the bill — industry estimates put this at 2-5% of medicine revenue, walking out of the drug cupboard each year. Second: the slippage past month-end — every day late is interest-free credit on top of your standard 30 or 60-day payment terms.
Drop your numbers in — see what both are worth.
What FarmVet Hub puts back — per year
£17,813
- Missing medicine sales
- £14,400
- Missing entire visits
- £1,080
- Cost of delayed payment
- £2,333
On top of the cash above, you're handing out £33,333 of interest-free credit every month while bills sit unsent.
And the bigger prize
The senior vet gets their month-end back.
Days currently lost to checking and altering bills become a few minutes a day, every day.
A bonus we won't try to put a £ on: FarmVet Hub also messages the farmer when the vet is a few miles out — so the stockman is at the gate, not in the next field. Less waiting, smoother visits. Hard to quantify, easy to feel.
What it does
End the month-end review crunch.
The senior vet reviews each visit as it lands — so when month-end comes, there's nothing left to check. Bills post on day 1.
-
Capture on the farm
An offline-first phone app for the vet — clinical notes, medicines (with batch + expiry), photos and voice memos. No reception bars required.
-
Five minutes per visit, before you start the engine.
Wellies off, shoes on, phone in hand — pre-loaded farms, pre-loaded animals, withdrawal periods auto-filled, drug batches by barcode. And when you have to bolt to an emergency, voice notes catch everything you'd have typed.
-
Three-tier review
Raw → vet review → senior review → approved. Small batches, daily — so month-end has nothing piled up. Every override logged.
-
Pushed straight into your PMS
No re-keying, no double entry. At month-end, each farmer's visits batch into a single monthly invoice in Provet Cloud, Robovet, or whichever PMS you use — already approved, ready to post.
-
UK VMR 2013 compliance baked in
vmr_category, batch number, expiry, withdrawal periods — captured and pushed on every medicine record. Audit trail is append-only forever.
-
Discount engine that gets it right
26 banded tiers per practice, line-then-invoice-then-VAT order, senior-vet overrides logged. Stop arguing about Mrs MacLeod's bill.
-
Built for the barn, not the boardroom
Designed for one-handed use in wellies. Big tap targets, dyslexia-friendly typography, works on a cracked screen.
How it works
Record. Review. Release.
Regularly — not one panicked week after
month-end.
- 1
Record
Notes, meds, photos, voice memos — on the phone, in the field, offline.
- 2
Review
Back at the surgery, the vet tidies and submits; the senior signs off — a handful of visits at a time, every day, not a fortnight's pile in one sitting.
- 3
Release
Day 1 of the new month: each farmer's monthly invoice batched and pushed to your PMS. Practice books it. Job done.
Sister app for your clients
A farmer app that closes the loop
Every FarmVet Hub practice gets a free companion app for their farmer clients — a clean web app, no app-store install required. They get the visit summary, the medicine label, the delivery note and the invoice as soon as you approve them.
- Visit summaries, delivery notes and drug labels delivered straight after approval.
- Withdrawal periods, batch numbers and expiries searchable per animal or group.
- Every dose logged against a cow — or a whole Shed for group treatments — with the animal IDs flowing back to your records.
- A medicine Today-list: doses due, courses to finish, withdrawal periods ending.
The whole medicine loop is free — medicine sales pushed from your practice, dispensing records, dose logging and withdrawal tracking, for every farmer you refer. Non-medicine herd tools — repro and cull-decision action lists, herd-health KPIs and reporting — are the only optional paid add-on.
Vet-led referral: each practice invites its own farmers. We don't market to them directly.
