Vetcove now integrates with select PIMS to help practices track and order inventory with ease, all in one location. By connecting your DaySmart account to Vetcove, you will be able to:

  • Manage Lists – shop your PIMS lists directly on Vetcove

  • View Quantities – view your quantity on hand and reorder points

  • Sync Purchase Orders – purchase orders will automatically be synced


Step 1: Connecting with DaySmart

Before you can start using the integration, you will need to enable the Vetcove add-on from within DaySmart as follows:

  1. Login to DaySmart

  2. Click on Settings

  3. Click on Add-Ons

  4. Navigate to the Vetcove line item and click on the plus icon

  5. Select the inventory categories that you wish to sync with your Vetcove account

  6. Click on Connect

  7. Authorize the integration in the form that appears

Once the add-on is enabled, your inventory items will be imported into your Vetcove account. Please allow a few minutes for this process to complete!

Congratulations! Your DaySmart account should now be connected to Vetcove!


Step 2: Connect DaySmart Items to Vetcove Items

Once you are successfully connected with DaySmart on Vetcove and you have allowed enough time for your inventory items to be imported, you may visit the following page to access your DaySmart PIMS Integration:

You will see two additional options at the top of your Vetcove PIMS Integration page: Lists and Products.

To ensure that your PIMS lists and product quantities are pulled into Vetcove, and to be able to shop items from your DaySmart lists, you will need to link your DaySmart products to Vetcove products. This will only need to be done one time around, but can be updated at any point (please note that you will first need to set up inventory tracking on your DaySmart account directly before you can view and connect items on Vetcove. For more information about setting up inventory tracking, please reach out to DaySmart support! Their support info is at the bottom of this article).

Simply click on the Products tab at the top of your page, and click into each item that does not show a green check mark. You may also select the filter for unlinked items from the menu on the left side of this page to view all items that still need to be linked:

When you click on a given item, you will be prompted to search and then select the Vetcove item (or items) in the left column that you wish to link to the DaySmart item listed at the top of the window. Keep in mind that a given Vetcove item can only be linked to a single DaySmart item, but you can link multiple Vetcove items to a single DaySmart item:


Unit of Measurement

When linking items, you will often also have the ability to select a unit of measurement. Selecting a unit of measurement will help ensure the quantities for each item in a given purchase order are translated properly from Vetcove to your PIMS for receiving.

In the example below, you will see that you have the option to select whether you would like the item, Convenia Injectable: 10ml, to be received in your PIMS as 1 vial or as 10mL. If you receive and track the item in your PIMS per vial, you would select vial – if you receive and track the item in your PIMS per mL, you would select mL:

You may edit and update item unit of measurements at any time. Please note that if you do not select a unit of measurement, the default unit for that item listing on Vetcove will be selected. If you do not see your preferred unit of measurement listed as an option, please reach out to the Vetcove support team via the live chat in the lower right corner and we would be happy to assist!


Hiding Items

You may also hide any unlinked items within you PIMS integration that you would not like to appear in your lists.

To hide an unlinked Item, click on the Actions button, located to the right of each item, and select "Hide this Item." This will hide the item from view and move it to a Hidden Items folder, located on the lefthand side of the page. This will prevent the item from showing up in your Critical Shortage Lists, as well.

From within the Hidden Items folder, you may move a hidden item back into view with the rest of your items. Simply click on the Action button, and select "Show this item."


Step 3: Shop on Vetcove through your DaySmart Lists

Once all relevant DaySmart items have been linked to their corresponding Vetcove items, you may view and shop items straight from the Lists page based on reorder points. To shop an item that is included in a DaySmart list (Ex. Critical Shortages list) just click on the Show Items button.

The item listings will then drop down in the familiar Vetcove shopping format. Using the purchase quantity suggested (based on the optimal quantity entered on DaySmart for that item) you may then add items to your vendor carts straight from here, just as normal!


Step 4: Shop and Place Orders as Normal

Now, when you place an order on Vetcove it will automatically be sent as a PO to DaySmart! You’ll find your POs under the Orders tab in Inventory. These orders will have a status of “submitted” so that new receipts can be recorded against them (for more information about creating receipts, please reach out to DaySmart support! Their support info is at the bottom of this article).

Please keep in mind that your DaySmart inventory counts will be sent by DaySmart to Vetcove each night. If you suspect that your DaySmart inventory has not been updated on Vetcove, please contact DaySmart support below.
