Inventory Ally, a comprehensive inventory management program for veterinary hospitals, has joined Veterinary Management Groups (VMG) as a Preferred Partner. Through this collaboration, VMG’s network of more than 2,200 practices across the U.S. and Canada will gain exclusive access to Inventory Ally’s intelligent inventory tools – designed to save time, improve accuracy, and lower costs.
Inventory management is one of the most time-consuming and financially significant areas of clinic operations. Inventory Ally simplifies the process with intuitive automation, real-time visibility, and smart ordering recommendations. The platform integrates with all major practice management systems (PIMS) and suppliers, offering a precise view of inventory on hand and guiding replenishment based on the hospital’s actual consumption patterns. Practices benefit from better visibility, reduced waste, and significant time savings.
“Economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, and rising prices continue to pressure veterinary practices,” said Matt Salois, President of VMG. “Inventory Ally gives practices the tools to manage resources with greater confidence and accuracy – often reducing cost of goods sold (COGS) by 2–4% in just a few weeks. But more importantly, it helps ensure teams aren’t wasting time on manual processes or scrambling for supplies. That means more time for patients, less stress on staff, and a smoother, more resilient care experience for everyone involved.”
Practices using Inventory Ally report reducing inventory tasks to as little as one hour per week. By linking supplier order data with real-time sales data, the platform provides highly accurate inventory insights, making it easy to stay ahead of inventory needs and avoid overordering or running out of key items.
“I’ve spent 20 years watching the passion of veterinary professionals to serve pets be squandered on manual processes and inefficient systems,” said Emmitt Nantz, co-founder of Inventory Ally. “Our mission is to free them up to focus on their ‘why’ – not spreadsheets. Partnering with VMG enables us to deliver that kind of operational support at scale. Together, we’re advancing the growth and resilience of veterinary practices nationwide.”
