Eclipse Veterinary Software

What Eclipse Veterinary Software does

Eclipse Veterinary Software Ltd is a UK-based private software company that develops practice management and imaging software for the equine veterinary sector, with selective extensions into small animal referral centres and the thoroughbred industry. Its core platform, Eclipse PMS, is a cross-platform desktop application (Windows and macOS) built on 4D database technology and originally co-developed in the early 2000s with Rossdales Equine Hospital in Newmarket. The platform is complemented by Eclipse PACS for vendor-independent DICOM imaging storage, Eclipse Mobile (an iOS/iPad app with offline capability for ambulatory vets), webPACS for browser-based image access, Refer-a-Case for external referrals, and an optional Laboratory Module with LIMS automation connecting to a broad range of analysers (IDEXX, Abaxis, Cobas, Horiba, Sysmex, among others).

The company's customer base comprises approximately 100 equine and mixed veterinary practices across the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands, ranging from enterprise hospital sites such as Rossdales and Donnington Grove to start-up ambulatory practices. Eclipse also undertakes bespoke software development for thoroughbred organisations, having built the BASIS auction system for Tattersalls and the Bloodstock Information System for Weatherbys (stewards of the General Stud Book). The business operates on an annual subscription model for its PMS, PACS, and Mobile products, supplemented by professional services revenue from bespoke projects. Distribution is sales-led, with demo-driven onboarding supported by on-site training, event sponsorship at industry courses, and direct outreach. The company is led by CEO Jeanne Razzell and CTO Brian Whitt, supported by a team of approximately 15 personnel handling development, support, training, and operations from its base near Cambridge.

Regional players

• Totalis: UK-based thoroughbred and bloodstock management software for breeders, stud farms, and racing operations. Adjacent peer to Eclipse's bespoke thoroughbred software (Tattersalls BASIS, Weatherbys bloodstock system).

Broad incumbents

• Covetrus (AVImark, Animana): Veterinary distribution and software company offering AVImark and Animana PIMS solutions. Overlaps with Eclipse in selling PIMS to veterinary practices, though Covetrus is much broader and not equine-specialised.
• IDEXX (Cornerstone / ezyVet): Large animal health and diagnostics company whose Cornerstone and ezyVet PIMS offerings compete with Eclipse in the broader vet software market. IDEXX is also a lab partner of Eclipse, illustrating both competitive and ecosystem overlap.
• Henry Schein One (Impromed): Distributor of Impromed veterinary practice management software, which Eclipse's own migration notes cite as a legacy system replaced by Eclipse. Comparable as a competing PIMS, particularly in mixed and specialty animal practices.

Emerging players

• Hippo Manager: Cloud-based veterinary practice management software targeting smaller and equine/mixed practices. Comparable to Eclipse as a PIMS alternative, particularly for ambulatory and small specialty clinics.
• Onward Vet: Cloud-based veterinary practice management software serving companion animal and specialty practices. Comparable to Eclipse as a competing PIMS targeting similar veterinary customer base.

Direct peers

• ezyVet: Cloud-based veterinary practice management software serving general and specialty practices globally. Directly comparable to Eclipse PMS as a competing PIMS, though ezyVet is cloud-native and broader in scope while Eclipse is equine-specialised.
• Vetter Software: Cloud-based veterinary practice management software serving small animal, equine, and mixed practices. Directly comparable to Eclipse as a competing PIMS targeting similar customer profiles.
• Equisoft: Software provider for the equine and thoroughbred industries, including pedigree, breeding, and racing workflows. Comparable to Eclipse's bespoke Weatherbys/Tattersalls arm in serving thoroughbred industry customers.
• ProVet: Veterinary practice management software for small animal and specialty practices with cloud delivery. Comparable to Eclipse as a competing PIMS, though broader in scope and not equine-specialised.
