Capabilities
Integrate and simplify facility workflows
Animal Facility Operations Management
Enhance transparency and operational efficiency with protocol-linked animal ordering, cage-card printing, census scanning, and automated invoice compilation—all with real-time data visibility and finance integrations.
Vet Care Management
Ensure accurate electronic veterinary medical records, gain real-time cageside visibility into animal health, and maintain continuous care through detailed clinical treatment plans and thorough reporting.
Staff Scheduling
Easily coordinate husbandry personnel and task scheduling with role-based visibility into staff availability, qualifications, and task metrics—plus real-time updates and forecasting to ensure smooth operations and consistent progress.
"Scanning is a lot easier to use and manipulate. When errors occur, I can easily fix them, whereas in the old system we’d have to go rescan a whole room if there was a mistake."
"Cayuse incorporates animal ordering right into the product, so it’s a lot easier for us to verify against the protocol, since the systems are integrated. [It] has completely enabled us to be ahead of regulatory compliance. We’re proactive instead of reactive."
