The billing office ThoroVet sends to QuickBooks — built right in.
Statements, AR, and partial payments inside the app — no QuickBooks bolt-on, on any device, not just an iPad.
ThoroVet is a genuine ambulatory-equine app with real percentage-split billing and strong offline support on the iPad. If you live in the truck and work with no signal, that offline story is its biggest strength.
Where practices outgrow it is the back office: ThoroVet hands statements, accounts receivable, and partial payments off to QuickBooks Online, and it runs on the iPad only. EDSI VMS keeps the entire billing office — itemized statements, AR aging, partial payments, saved-card auto-charge — inside one web app you can open on any device.

EDSI’s offline covers field capture (charges, vaccinations, exam notes) with automatic sync.
