Digital new customer registration - really a step forward or just another tool?

Taking on new clients in the veterinary practice takes time. Phone calls, manual forms, double data entry - inefficient and error-prone. But does a digital solution really bring the hoped-for relief?

What are the real benefits of digital new customer registration?

In short: less paperwork, fewer errors, more time saved. Instead of transferring customer data manually, pet owners enter it themselves via their smartphone - at any time and from anywhere. This reduces misunderstandings and speeds up processes in the practice.

The advantages at a glance:
Less waiting time: customers can enter data online before their appointment.
Less bureaucracy: no typing of paper forms, no reading errors.
More flexibility: registration in advance or on site via QR code.
Environmentally friendly: less paper, more sustainability.

Is this really efficient - or does it just make more work?

The truth: It depends on how well the digital solution fits into the practice processes. A well-integrated new customer registration system synchronizes the data directly with the practice management system. If this is not the case, it remains an additional task for the team.

How flexible is digital registration?

Depending on the software, it can be customized. Useful functions include:
🔹 Individual questionnaires - depending on animal species or health status.
🔹 Digital consent - GDPR-compliant and confirmed directly by the customer.
🔹 Automatic reminders - fewer no-shows, better appointment scheduling.

Our practice management system integration from Petleo offers all these functions and many more. We would be happy to advise you in a free and non-binding demo.

Conclusion: Does every practice need digital new customer registration?

Not necessarily. For large or busy practices, it is a real game changer. Small practices with a manageable number of clients can also manage without digital solutions. However, if you want to save time, optimize processes and minimize administrative work, you should take a closer look at a digital solution.
