Core house-call workflows in a connected browser.
OpenVPM can support a controlled, connected house-call pilot from a laptop or tablet. We review connectivity, migration, payments, messaging, and go-live needs before production use; offline charting and route optimization are not available.
Pilot boundaries for mobile & house-call.
Start with one connected workflow, test it beside the current PIMS, and expand only after acceptance checks pass.
Enterprise software, enterprise price
The AGPLv3 software has no license fee when self-hosted. Hosting, maintenance, messaging, payments, and integration costs still apply.
You work everywhere but the office
Records and invoicing are available in a responsive browser with a reliable connection. Offline use and queued synchronization are not supported.
Bring your own everything
Self-hosters manage their own infrastructure and provider configuration. External labs, e-prescribing, accounting connections, and arbitrary API integrations are not included by default.
Modules to validate during the pilot.
These connected modules are part of the controlled evaluation; setup-dependent capabilities remain gated.

Common questions
Is OpenVPM ready for a solo mobile vet?
OpenVPM is available as a controlled pilot for connected house-call workflows. Records, scheduling, estimates and invoices, and inventory can be evaluated from a responsive browser after a fit review.
Can I work offline or optimize my route?
No. OpenVPM requires a reliable connection and does not provide offline charting, queued synchronization, route planning, or travel optimization.
Can I bring my own tools?
Self-hosters can configure their own infrastructure, email provider, and optional model key. That does not mean every tool connects today: external labs, e-prescribing, accounting, and arbitrary integrations are not included by default.
