NATIVE SMART PHONE APP LIKE VIDEO WITH MY VET VERSUS A PROGRESSIVE WEB-BASED APP VIA DESKTOPS
Convenience – a mobile phone is small, light and easily kept handy in the pocket.
Efficiency – calls can be made and received just like ordinary voice calls but no phone number is needed because the phone app is tied to the practice.
Availability – the phone app is available wherever the client is located, a desktop app is probably not carried everywhere.
Connectivity – connection to the video service requires either WiFi or mobile network coverage. If WiFi is not available, the Phone App can still use mobile network coverage.
In Phone Notifications – last minute reminders as well as marketing messages. #2
Notes:
#1 – this feature can be switched on or off
#2 – Only Native Smartphone Apps can offer these features
#3 – VCPR Compliance means that the service is provided to veterinary practices for use with their clients only and is not marketed to clients for the purposes of engaging clients outside the VCPR regime.
