## What is EDSI VMS?

EDSI VMS is practice management software designed specifically for **equine** veterinary practices. It handles horses, owners, billing, invoicing, payments (including cards on file and text/email pay links), statements, appointments, medical notes, inventory, controlled-substance logging, and reporting in one web-based system. It was built from the ground up inside a working equine practice (East Coast Equine Performance), around the workflows equine vets actually use — split ownership, mobile/farm-call work, and DEA logging.

EDSI VMS runs in any modern web browser on any device (desktop, laptop, iPad). There's nothing to install. It requires an internet connection.
