From Vetnnet and AnimalCode to Veetz: The Evolution of Our Veterinary Software

If you've been in the veterinary field in Brazil for a while, the names Vetnnet or AnimalCode might ring a bell. You might have used our software, seen our brand at an event, or heard about us from a colleague. Today, you might be searching for those names and wondering where they went. The short answer is: we evolved. This article tells the story of our journey—from a pioneering desktop application to a modern, global, AI-powered platform—and explains why Vetnnet and AnimalCode are now Veetz.

Our story is one of constant evolution, driven by a single mission: to empower veterinary professionals with technology that simplifies management and enhances animal care. Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The Beginning: Our Roots with Vetnnet (2008)

Our journey began in 2008 when IVATEC (then operating under a different name) launched Vetnnet. It was a desktop application for Windows, designed from the ground up to automate veterinary clinics and pet shops across Brazil. At a time when digital management was still finding its footing, Vetnnet offered a robust solution for patient records, billing, and inventory.

For many veterinarians, Vetnnet was their first step into digital practice management. We cherish the memories of working closely with clinics, even conducting in-person training sessions to help teams get the most out of the system.

The Next Step: The AnimalCode Era

As our vision grew, we rebranded to AnimalCode. This new name reflected a broader ambition. We continued to serve the Brazilian market, refining our software and building a reputation for reliability. We were proud to be featured in industry publications and to see our software become an integral part of so many successful practices.

The core of our mission remained the same: provide a powerful, dedicated veterinary system and pet shop software. Our logo, a distinctive fingerprint within an animal's silhouette, symbolized the unique identity and care that each patient deserves—a principle we still hold dear.

A New Vision for a Global Future: Introducing Veetz (2023)

The world of technology and veterinary medicine has changed dramatically since 2008. The rise of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and a globally connected community presented an opportunity to reimagine what a veterinary platform could be. We knew we needed to build something for the future.

In 2023, we embarked on a new project: Veetz.

Veetz is not a replacement; it's the culmination of everything we've learned. It carries over 15 years of expertise in veterinary management but is built on a completely new, state-of-the-art technology stack.

• It's Global: While our roots are proudly Brazilian, Veetz is designed for a global audience of veterinarians and students.
• It's Cloud-Based: Access your clinic's data securely from anywhere, on any device. No more being tied to a single desktop computer.
• It's AI-Powered: Veetz integrates artificial intelligence to provide clinical decision support, helping you deliver the best possible care.
• It's Modern: Built with the latest technologies, Veetz offers a fast, intuitive, and seamless user experience.

This new chapter also prompted us to consolidate our identity under a name that represents our history and future: IVATEC.
