Real equine split billing — on a modern cloud app, not a Windows install from another era.
Modern cloud on any device vs. an archaic on-premise Windows system.
Impromed Equine (Covetrus) has genuine equine roots: percentage splits with stable/trainer batch billing and offline sync-on-return. The billing model underneath is solid.
The experience is the problem. It’s a legacy on-premise Windows product widely described as archaic and hard to use, with split charges that confuse owners on statements. EDSI VMS gives you the same percentage-split billing on a clean cloud app that opens in any browser, with statements built to be read.
