vetreportNovember 21, 2014

MWI Veterinary Supply Inc, the parent company of one of the UK’s leading veterinary wholesalers, Centaur Services, has acquired practice management software company Vetspace.

Vetspace, formerly Jupiter Systems, is a leading provider of server and cloud-based practice management software to vets and pet owners throughout the UK. It has been developing specialised software for veterinary practices since 1989, including both traditional and cloud-based practice management software. Over 1,000 installations of Vetspace’s software solutions have been completed in the UK.

The recent acquisition by MWI Veterinary Supply sees Vetspace joining a group of companies including Centaur Services and Securos, a manufacturer and supplier of innovative veterinary orthopedic solutions.

Leading wholesaler Centaur Services’ core function is to provide daily delivery of the complete range of products required by UK veterinary practices backed by outstanding levels of customer service. Vetspace customers will now benefit from an enhanced level of customer service, innovative product development, technological investment and an opportunity for greater integration between their practice management software and wholesaler – all backed by the experience and investment of global parent company MWI Veterinary Supply.

The relationship is not exclusive however; Centaur Services customers may continue to use any other practice management system, whilst Vetspace customers may continue to work with other wholesalers.

Brian Topper, Managing Director of Centaur Services commented, “We’re very pleased to be able to offer our customers throughout the UK the opportunity to further enhance and streamline their practices by integrating their practice management system and wholesaler solution. Our focus is on delivering a high quality service that’s accurate and reliable and we believe that aligning our offer with that of Vetspace will have major benefits for the future of both ours and our customers’ businesses.”

Nader Pour of Vetspace added, “Having been at the forefront of practice management software for the past 25 years we are delighted to be joining the MWI Veterinary Supply group and working with the likes of Centaur Services to further develop the benefits we’re able to offer our customers for the next 25 years and beyond.”
