Run your practice on software you actually own.
You carry the cost, the risk, and the data. OpenVPM is the open-source PIMS that keeps all three in your hands. Free to self-host, no per-user fees, and your records always yours to export.
Workspace access is immediate. Live clinic use starts as a guided pilot alongside the current PIMS. See current fit and rollout limits.
Built for the way you work.
The friction you know, and how an open, connected PIMS clears it.
The bill only ever goes up
Closed systems charge per user or per vet, then raise it every year. OpenVPM is free to self-host, and managed Cloud is priced per location with unlimited staff.
Your data is held hostage
Most vendors make leaving hard on purpose. With a public schema and full export, your data stays portable, so you are never stuck.
You are betting on one vendor
If your vendor changes direction or gets acquired, you live with it. Open source means the code is yours to run no matter what happens to any company.

Common questions
How does OpenVPM save my practice money?
Self-hosting is free, with no per-user or per-vet fees. Managed Cloud is priced per location with unlimited staff. As your team grows, your software bill does not.
What happens to my data if I ever leave?
It comes with you. OpenVPM keeps a public schema and full export in open formats, so there is no lock-in and no exit fee.
Is OpenVPM ready to run my clinic?
OpenVPM is ready for a controlled, connected pilot in a single-location companion-animal or house-call clinic. Keep the current PIMS as the source of truth until migration, roles, communications, billing, and a low-risk clinic day pass acceptance checks.
