If you answered yes to at least four of the above then we have a job we should be chatting about. The SEEKR team has recently engaged with a business that builds software for the day-to-day running of veterinary practices. Think booking “patients” in for appointments, storing medical histories, setting reminders for routine boosters, writing prescriptions, dispensing medicines, integrations with drug manufacturers to ensure stock levels, taking payments, settling with medical aid funds, and anything else you can think of. There is some greenfield work to be done here but the business already has 1500 practices using their software and there is an existing monolith that needs a rethink. Future plans involve expansion into the US market, where animal healthcare is worth an estimated $11 billion.
