Inventory Ally, a comprehensive inventory management program for veterinary hospitals designed to reduce inventory costs and save time, today announced a partnership with the Veterinary Hospitals Association (VHA), a nonprofit co-op, distributor, and business services provider supporting more than 400 practices nationwide. Inventory Ally is now integrated with VHA’s ordering platform, and the association members get special pricing on the software.
Inventory Ally uses purchasing history and predictive analytics to build customized replenishment schedules and recommend optimal stock levels for each item. It helps hospitals reduce excess inventory, maintain reliable supplies, and spend less time on inventory management. By connecting these capabilities with VHA’s purchasing platform and negotiated member pricing, the partnership brings cost savings and more predictable ordering into a single workflow.
How Inventory Ally helps practices realize the full value of their VHA partnership:
- VHA ordering inside Inventory Ally. VHA purchase history, product catalogs, and member-specific pricing are available within Inventory Ally, so hospitals can generate and submit orders directly to VHA without reentering information or switching platforms.
- Member pricing put to work. VHA’s negotiated pricing and member deals are reflected in Inventory Ally, making it easier for hospitals to take advantage of available purchasing benefits and stay in control of what they buy.
- Less time on routine tasks. Automated replenishment recommendations, optimized cycle counts, and simplified ordering reduce the time spent on day-to-day inventory work.
- Member benefits. Special pricing on Inventory Ally and a dedicated Customer Success Manager.
“Inventory is often chaotic and difficult to predict. Demand shifts week to week, and ordering can easily turn into a mix of habit and best guesses,” said Ryan Shaw, interim Executive Director of VHA. “Inventory Ally gives practices intelligent replenishment guidance and a steady weekly routine, so every order they place with VHA is grounded in what they actually need. We’re happy to bring this tool to our members at an exclusive price.”
“A great price on a case of fluids only pays off if the practice actually needed the case,” said Emmitt Nantz, Co-Founder of Inventory Ally. “VHA gives independent practices real buying power and a whole network of business support behind it. We make sure those benefits show up in the order itself: the right products, in the right amounts, at the prices VHA worked to get. Together, we help practices spend more mindfully and protect their margins.”
