ALACHUA, FL – The Veterinary Hospital Managers Association (VHMA) announced that NaVetor, a premier cloud practice management software system offered by Patterson Veterinary, has signed on as a Gold Supporting Sponsor. Qualifying companies offering products and services that address the professional business needs of today's veterinary practices are invited to participate in VHMA's sponsorship programs.
In 2018, cloud software experts teamed up with Patterson Veterinary to create NaVetor, a software designed to help practices navigate their business quickly and efficiently. In 2025, Patterson acquired full rights to NaVetor and has been introducing advanced features, including AI-powered workflows that streamline how practices utilize the software.
NaVetor addresses critical pain points for veterinary hospital practice managers, particularly staff efficiency, evolving client expectations and absence of real-time business insights needed for data-driven decisions and profitability. The software's built-in AI assistant allows staff members to use voice or typed prompts to execute complex tasks in seconds, such as instantly pulling unconfirmed appointments and sending polished reminders, rather than memorizing steps in the software. Additionally, NaVetor helps practices meet modern consumer demands through integrated two-way texting, AI-powered post-visit messages and a dedicated client-facing mobile app.
"The VHMA is dedicated to providing practice managers with the resources they need to navigate the evolving business landscape of veterinary hospitals,” said Christine Shupe, CAE, Executive Director of the VHMA. “NaVetor’s innovative approach to AI-driven workflows and cloud-based management provides our members with powerful new options for streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency. We welcome them as our newest gold sponsor.”
"Like VHMA, the NaVetor team wants veterinary practice managers to be successful," said Jake Fuesting, General Manager of Commercial Software at Patterson Veterinary. "We like to support like-minded organizations, and we want to help educate practice managers on leveraging the latest tools to streamline work and get the most from their technology investments. We are proud to support the VHMA as a Gold Supporting Sponsor."
