- Up and running in minutes - easy enough for any team member regardless of tech experience
- 100 pre-registrations bulk uploaded before day one with Lupa's pre-registration feature
Ainsdale Vets opened earlier this year and practice owner Ann-Marie had some really clear views on what made Lupa stand out. The modern, intuitive interface meant her team were up and running quickly, without the clunky learning curve that comes with older systems. Onboarding support was thorough and flexible, fitting around full-time work schedules.
