EDSI VMS vs ThoroVet

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.

Why practices pick EDSI VMS

  • Your statements, AR, and partial payments live in one system — no QuickBooks round-trip or double entry.
  • Owners are billed to the penny with one invoice each, delivered by email or mailed paper automatically — with text reminders.
  • Save a card on file and auto-charge it against the oldest invoice, with an emailed receipt — collections run inside the app, not handed to a separate QuickBooks subscription.
  • Open it on the laptop at the barn office or the iPad in the truck — no hardware lock-in.

Where ThoroVet is strong

  • Best-in-class offline capture for working with no signal.
  • Purpose-built, focused iPad experience for ambulatory vets.

When ThoroVet may be the better fit: If you want your entire workflow — not just field capture — available offline on an iPad and don’t mind running statements and AR through QuickBooks, ThoroVet’s offline-first design goes deeper today. EDSI’s offline covers field capture (charges, vaccinations, exam notes) with automatic sync.
