These updates reflect our continued focus on making Inventory Ally faster, more reliable, and easier to use while expanding integration capabilities across supported PIMS platforms. Some enhancements will be immediately visible to your team, while others improve performance, scalability, and data accuracy behind the scenes.

🔌 Integrations


Continuous Improvements to VetSpire & Digitail PIMS Writeback (Beta)

Inventory Ally now supports PIMS Writeback for Vetspire and Digitail pilot hospitals.

This functionality allows select inventory information maintained in Inventory Ally to be written back to the PIMS, helping reduce duplicate data entry and improve alignment between systems.

Supported writeback workflows include:

  • Inventory counts from Inventory Ally
  • Purchase order information
  • Recent order pricing to prevent margin erosion

Enhanced Writeback Rule Mapping

Introduced enhanced mapping for write-back rules, reducing setup time and simplifying implementation for beta hospitals.

Expanded Product Retrieval

Inventory Ally can now retrieve all available products from VetSpire and Digitail, providing more complete inventory visibility and improved mapping accuracy for writeback functionality.

✨ Product Enhancements


Inventory Item Images

Users can now add images directly to inventory items from both desktop and mobile devices.

Inventory images can help teams quickly identify inventory products during counting, ordering, receiving, and inventory maintenance workflows. Click here to learn more.

Improved Ordering Visibility

The Review Order experience now displays vendor names and supplier SKUs for products being ordered.

This provides additional context when reviewing recommendations and helps teams verify they are ordering the correct products.

Merge Validation Improvements

Improved merge validation warnings help identify situations where merge ratios do not align with recommendations, reducing the risk of inventory conversion errors.

Faster PIMS Mapping Navigation

Added pagination to item order history and transaction history within the PIMS Mapping Tool, improving responsiveness when working with larger datasets.

Improved WDDC Product Identification

When a product name is unavailable from WDDC, Inventory Ally will now display the supplier product ID rather than a generic “Product Name Not Found” message, making products easier to identify and troubleshoot.

📱 Mobile Experience


Enhanced Public Want List

The Mobile Public Want List has been updated to more closely match the desktop experience.

Hospitals will now see improved branding support, including hospital names and logos within the page header for a more consistent experience across devices.

⚡ Performance & Reliability


Several improvements were made to increase platform responsiveness and improve processing efficiency.

Faster Inventory Processing

Optimizations to recommendation processing and inventory update workflows improve the speed of recommendation generation and ordering calculations.

Quicker Inventory Merges

Inventory merge operations now complete approximately two to three times faster than before, improving large-scale inventory cleanup workflows.

Improved Data Access Performance

Added intelligent caching for frequently accessed Order History and Unit of Measure information, reducing database load and improving application responsiveness.

🛠️ Platform & Infrastructure


We continue to invest in the long-term reliability, security, and scalability of the Inventory Ally platform.

Behind the scenes, we completed several platform and infrastructure improvements focused on security, reliability, and long-term scalability to support Inventory Ally’s growing customer base.
