Abstract :
This study aims to address the inefficiencies in FurCare Veterinary Clinic’s manual record-keeping and
disconnected systems, which leds to scheduling conflicts, poor inventory tracking, and inaccessible pet records. The clinic's
reliance on manual record-keeping and disconnected software led to persistent scheduling conflicts, ineffective inventory
tracking, and difficult access to pet medical histories. The primary objective was to design and implement a centralized,
web-based solution to automate core tasks and unify data management across two branches. Developed iteratively using the
Agile methodology, the system leverages a robust tech stack including PHP, MySQL, and Bootstrap for the frontend,
integrated with the PhilSMS API for timely communication. Designed for administrators, veterinarians, staff, and pet
owners, its essential functionalities encompass online appointment scheduling, automated SMS reminders, digital medical
records, and real-time inventory tracking. These integrated features successfully streamline workflows, enhance data
accuracy, and significantly improve the overall quality of service delivery. Evaluation showed major improvements in speed,
accuracy, and user satisfaction, achieving a high 86.5 usability score. The system proved very effective based on testing and
user feedback. In conclusion, it successfully modernized the clinic's operations, with potential for a mobile app, expansion
of inventory management, improvement or addition of features in the future.
