SmartFlow is patient workflow software designed to minimize bottlenecks and strengthen clinical processes in a veterinary practice. SmartFlow offers a well-established solution with a single-page AngularJS (soon to be React) web application, complemented by a dedicated iOS native iPad app. The backend, built on .NET, is managed in Azure utilising Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, Docker containers, and GitHub Actions for streamlined deployments. Azure Service Bus is used in an event-driven architecture, with CosmosDB for NoSQL storage and MSSQL for relational storage. Real-time web functionality is delivered through SignalR, and the iPad app is supported by Apple Push.

Vet Radar enhances in-patient workflows, helping veterinary practices improve their clinical processes and deliver a higher standard of care. Vet Radar is a serverless architecture, using a single React-Native codebase to deploy both a single-page web application and an iOS app via Expo.
