CUBEX® Smart Technology
for Small Vet Practices

Technology has, and continues to be, a driver for change and within the current economic climate, it is necessary for businesses to assess areas of growth and weakness as well as potential areas for development and improvement. This is particularly relevant for the veterinary sector to ensure their ability to juggle animal healthcare with the needs and health of their staff, business and clients.

The veterinary industry has been under pressure from workforce shortages (particularly in regional areas) for several years now, seeing a rise in consistent overworking within their labour market, and increased job vacancies with extended time to fill. The need to support a positive work – life balance continues to be a concern among veterinary professionals (Australian Veterinary Association’s 2021 Report).

To ensure practices can handle the workload and expectations of clients, many veterinary clinics are embracing veterinary technologies to enhance patient care and improve operational efficiencies. Implementing modern technologies can streamline workflows, reduce administrative burdens, and allow veterinary staff to focus more on clinical duties, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and increased profitability.

One such technological innovation is the CUBEX® system – intelligent technology providing autonomous inventory management:

  • CONTROL of your inventory with enhanced security, and automation
  • OPTIMISE operational efficiencies with a consistent, reliable and fully automated workflow.
  • MAXIMISE practice profitability with reduced missed charges and lower costs

More than simply a necessity for pharmacy management, CUBEX® is a crucial strategic solution to improve the safety, operations, and financial wellbeing of your practice.

Why is Veterinary Inventory Management Critical?

The nature of the veterinary setting means that medications, supplies and consumables can be challenging to manage. Misuse, mistakes, misplacement, and theft are increasingly impacting hospital profits, causing significant financial strain. These issues lead to higher operational costs, inefficiencies, and potential risks to patient care.

Veterinary pharmacy and supply represent a major component of operating costs and annual revenue for veterinary practices, regardless of their size.

Did you know:

  • 54% of missed charges in veterinary practices occur in busy treatment areas
  • 46% of missed charges come from the practice pharmacy (cubex.com)

Efficient, effective inventory management in a veterinary clinic is essential for the success of the practice – guaranteeing the timely availability of critical supplies, reducing operational costs, and enabling the highest possible care for patients.

What is CUBEX®?

CUBEX® is a revolutionary veterinary inventory management system that improves regulatory compliance, control, and security for a vet practice. With a Plan for Every Part, CUBEX® ensures that every item is accounted for, properly managed, and safeguarded against misuse or theft, allowing hospitals to enhance their inventory control, reduce waste, and ultimately protect their financial health.

CUBEX® smart cabinets are 9x more efficient than traditional shelving (cubex.com), take up less space, and intelligently automate:

  • Dispensing
  • Inventory/stock tracking and maintenance
  • Ordering/re-ordering

Using Cloud-based software, the system enables veterinarians and vet nurses to effectively increase their charge capture (capturing 100% of missed charges) and reduce inventory spend and wastage. Every transaction is secure and recorded at the point of care, utilising Fingerprint ID so that only those who are authorised to access pharmaceuticals and other vet supply items can do so.

There are several CUBEX® cabinet options available to suit Treatment, Pharmacy, and Supply areas, of various sizes and configurations. They are also scalable as required.

The Benefits of CUBEX® Technology for Small Veterinary Practices

Using CUBEX® is as advantageous for Small Vet Practices as it is for Large Vet Practices and hospitals.

Small vet practices often do not have access to the same resources as their larger counterparts, but they share the same load to create a positive, profitable work environment. To do what they do best, small vet practices must be able to optimise care while minimising costs and mitigating wastage, loss, and missed billing. They can achieve this by implementing effective technology to help streamline their processes, save money, and optimise veterinary care and outcomes.

But don’t just take our word for it – see what Vets are saying about the efficiencies and savings.

“CUBEX® – love it! We are a small company. I love (CUBEX®) for inventory control, (it) helps with ordering so we don’t have to count product on the self … it is easy to track inventory – pretty to look at and organised. It makes the clinic look high-end. The aesthetic is great and (it’s) great for the S8s and controlling them. We just love it … if I was to buy a practice it is one of the first things I would implement.”
