Community Automation for the Animal Services Industry

The benefits of Web-based applications versus in-house systems Private networks within large organizations, such as banks and manufacturers, have been using Web-based 'Application Service Providers' (ASPs) for many years. The pet industry, however, has been slower to adopt this this more advanced technology. Instead, many organizations rely on in-house systems, largely because they assume that adopting more advanced technologies is beyond their financial reach and technological capabilities. PetLynx bridges the gap! Our two shelter and animal management programs are ShelterLynx and Animal TRACS. Both of these systems are easy to implement and use, reducing the need for extensive staff training and lowering the threshold of computer literacy required by staff and volunteers. PetLynx also allows public users to serve themselves with ease, which takes some of the pressure off staff. Advantages of Petlynx ASP web-based services:
  • Easy to implement, operate and maintain
  • Requires minimal client computer facilities and resources
  • Holds data in a more secure environment
  • Provides technical support and help capabilities, allowing local IT resources to be redeployed or eliminated
  • Connects all users within a group or sub-group to the same data store without undermining security
  • Can be access remotely, with appropriate user ID and passwords.
