From Hours to Minutes: How GlobalVetLink Transforms Compliance

by Ali Oaks | June 25, 2025

You didn’t become a veterinarian to fill out paperwork. Yet many clinics lose hours each week to handwritten forms and clunky PDFs. The GlobalVetLink Compliance Assistant removes that burden, saving time, reducing stress, and letting your team get back to what matters most.

Why It’s Time to Move On from Paper and PDFs

Paper and fillable PDF processes for certificates are not only time-consuming—they're also error-prone, difficult to track, and inefficient for busy clinics juggling a high caseload. From International Health Certificates (IHCs) to Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVIs), traditional methods slow your team down and eat away at your productivity.

Let’s break down the numbers:

What Does That Time Savings Mean for Your Clinic?

Those numbers add up fast. Consider a clinic issuing just 5 IHCs per month. That’s over 18 hours reclaimed, which could be spent on patient care, client communication, or simply reducing overtime. Multiply that by additional CVIs or other compliance documents, and the ROI becomes even more compelling. 

For example, this chart shows the monthly time savings for a clinic that processes 5 IHCs and 10 CVIs.

  • Using paper-based methods, this clinic would spend around 8.7 hours on CVIs and 20 hours on IHCs each month.
  • With the GVL Compliance Assistant, the total time drops to just 1.5 hours, freeing up more than 27 hours monthly.

GVL’s streamlined process eliminates:

  • Manual data entry and formatting
  • Printing, scanning, and faxing hassles
  • Searching through file cabinets or email chains
  • The risk of missed regulatory requirements

The GVL Compliance Assistant isn’t just faster, it’s smarter.
