AVPMA Chart of Accounts

By Blog Admin on 11/3/2010 1:57 PM

I still remember installing VETLINK years ago for practices. No one knew how to “categorise” products and services so that they could extract meaningful data to see where their income was coming from. Our deployment and training staff say that not a lot has changed since.

For example, an email campaign may get fewer hits but one has to remember that the cost of such marketing is a lot lower than sending out letters, and so on.... click on "Read More" to see the full article.
