Excited to announce a new partnership with Dvm Gro! 🎉

Now, dvmGRO purchasing benefits are connected directly to Inventory Ally’s ordering and replenishment tools — helping veterinary practices simplify purchasing, streamline procurement, and optimize inventory management.

“By connecting negotiated pricing directly to the ordering process, this partnership helps veterinary practices make better use of their dvmGRO benefits in day-to-day operations. Instead of relying on manual tracking or fragmented systems, clinics can use Inventory Ally to centralize preferred vendors, simplify price comparison, and streamline procurement,” — Emmitt Nantz, Co-Founder of Inventory Ally.

Inventory management doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it has a huge impact on hospital efficiency, cash flow, and patient care.

Big thanks to Adam Wysocki and VetSoftwareHub for putting together this excellent research. It’s a thoughtful, practical guide for anyone looking at stockout prevention, COGS optimization, and taking control of inventory before it becomes a daily fire drill. Make sure to check it out: https://www.vetsoftwarehub.com/article/veterinary-inventory-management-software-2026-a-buyers-guide-for-stockout-prevention-and-cogs-control

🚫📦 Stockouts are not bad luck, they are a broken inventory workflow.

Inventory software should reduce chaos, prevent missed charges, and keep care moving.

The goal is fewer emergencies and fewer missed charges, not more counting.

Most veterinary practices track revenue religiously, but inventory often remains a black box. You know you're spending money, but without the right metrics it's hard to know if you're spending it wisely.

The good news: you don't need to become a data scientist or drown in spreadsheets. These five metrics will give you a much clearer picture of what's actually happening with your inventory, so you can make better decisions without the overwhelm.

If you've ever wondered whether your inventory is working as hard as it should be, our new article is a great starting point:

Discover the 5 inventory metrics that help veterinary practices reduce COGS, cut waste, prevent stockouts, and free up cash flow.

Your valuation
Your profitability
Your buyer options
Your legacy

Inventory plays a bigger role in all of it than most owners realize:
💸 Excess cash sitting on shelves
💸 Reactive ordering that drives up COGS
💸 Stockouts that impact revenue and client experience

Whether your exit is 1 year or 10 years away, tightening up inventory today strengthens margins, improves cash flow, and makes your practice far more resilient.

Already tomorrow, Veterinary Business Podcast will host Emmit Nantz, Gary Harker, Win Lippincott, and Michelle Musacchio for a conversation on how to improve financial performance, reduce operational inefficiencies, and build a practice that buyers will compete for.
