Devspace helps veterinary tech companies move faster with senior software engineers and technical leadership embedded directly into the team. [Talk to us about your stack](https://www.devspace.no/industries/veterinary#contact-form) ![Veterinary software development for complex platforms](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/2qghods7/production/c20b77792d0b77f634a58a986a98440076a443d9-976x906.png?w=1200) ## Who We Work With We work with companies building veterinary software, from PIMS vendors, animal health SaaS platforms, diagnostic tooling companies, to PE-backed veterinary consolidators scaling their technology infrastructure post-acquisition. The engineering challenges we see repeatedly in this vertical: legacy PIMS software that can't keep up with consolidation-driven growth, integrations between clinical workflows and billing or lab systems that require deep domain knowledge, and product teams that need to scale fast but can't afford a 6-month hiring cycle mid-roadmap. We don't consult on your product strategy. We place the senior engineers who build it. - **$2.8B+** — Global veterinary software market by 2027 - **12–18 months** — Typical consolidator timeline from acquisition to platform migration - **3000+** — Veterinary clinics running cloud-based PIMS globally ## What we deliver for veterinary technology companies ### Veterinary practice management software and veterinary PIMS We help teams building veterinary practice management software and veterinary PIMS platforms add senior engineering competence across product development, modernization, integrations, and scale-up work. ### Cloud veterinary software platforms We support cloud veterinary software teams that need backend, frontend, DevOps, and architecture competence to improve delivery speed without slowing down the core roadmap. ### AI veterinary software and diagnostics We help veterinary tech companies develop AI veterinary software features, radiology workflows, data pipelines, and integration layers where domain complexity matters as much as engineering speed. ### Post-acquisition platform integration We support consolidators and software groups that need technical due diligence, platform assessment, and hands-on engineering to connect or rationalize multiple systems. ## AI is already reshaping veterinary software platforms AI is already becoming part of modern veterinary software — from smarter workflows and reduced admin to better diagnostics and stronger operational insight. Across veterinary practice management software, veterinary PIMS platforms, and cloud veterinary software, teams are building AI into products to make them faster, more scalable, and more valuable in day-to-day use. Devspace helps veterinary tech companies turn those opportunities into production-ready software with senior veterinary software engineers, integration and cloud expertise, and technical leadership for complex veterinary software development. ### Predictive analytics AI can help veterinary software platforms identify patterns earlier — from operational bottlenecks and client churn risks to signals tied to patient care, follow-up timing, or treatment adherence. For multi-location groups and cloud-based veterinary platforms, predictive analytics can also improve forecasting, scheduling, and resource planning. _**Where Devspace fits:**_ We help veterinary tech teams build the data pipelines, cloud architecture, and backend systems needed to support predictive features inside real products. ### Clinical documentation AI is making documentation faster and more consistent across veterinary workflows. In veterinary PIMS software and practice management tools, this can include note generation, visit summaries, form completion, coding support, and other admin-heavy tasks that reduce time spent on repetitive work. **_Where Devspace fits:_** Devspace provides the veterinary software engineers and product engineering support needed to implement these features within your existing workflow, interfaces, and platform architecture. ### Digital diagnostics AI-enabled diagnostics can improve how veterinary software handles lab data, imaging inputs, case signals, and decision-support workflows. These capabilities depend not only on models, but also on reliable integrations, clean data handling, and scalable infrastructure across the broader product ecosystem. **_Where Devspace fits:_** We support veterinary software development with senior engineers experienced in integrations, backend systems, platform engineering, and technical delivery for complex healthcare-like environments. ### Remote care & monitoring Remote consultations, connected devices, and digital follow-up tools are expanding what veterinary platforms can offer beyond the clinic visit. AI can help structure inputs, prioritise cases, flag anomalies, and make remote workflows more useful for both clinics and pet owners. **_Where Devspace fits:_** We help veterinary tech partners build the underlying platform capabilities behind remote care features — from cloud services and integrations to frontend, backend, and mobile engineering support. ### Practice intelligence As veterinary groups scale, AI can help turn software platforms into operational intelligence layers — improving reporting, benchmarking, workflow visibility, and decision-making across clinics, teams, and business units. This is especially relevant for consolidators and platform vendors operating at scale. **Where Devspace fits:** Devspace supports these initiatives with embedded engineers, data and cloud expertise, and strategic technical leadership through services like Fractional CTO and Technical Due Diligence. ## Building veterinary software is complex enough.
