Veterinary scheduling software that keeps up with your front desk.
Your schedule changes every few minutes. Walk-ins, callbacks, a doctor running behind. OpenVPM gives you a real-time view of every appointment, every doctor, and every room, and lets you move things around without losing track of who is where. It is open source, so the whole thing is yours to run.

Common questions
Does OpenVPM handle multiple doctors and rooms?
Yes. The schedule shows one column per doctor with day and week views, so the front desk can see the whole clinic at a glance and book into the right room.
Can it send appointment reminders automatically?
Yes. OpenVPM sends automated reminders by SMS and email, and replies come back into the same client inbox so nothing gets lost.
Is the scheduling module really free?
The full PIMS, scheduling included, is free to self-host under the AGPLv3 license. If you would rather not run servers, OpenVPM Cloud hosts it for you.
Can I build my own tools on top of the schedule?
Yes. Every action in the UI goes through the same open REST API, with 150+ documented endpoints and webhooks, so you can automate booking or sync the calendar with your own tools.
