The GlobalVetLink Compliance Assistant is a comprehensive, cloud-based platform designed specifically for veterinarians to streamline certificate creation and record-keeping for animal health and movement documents. The platform increases productivity and reduces errors by monitoring applicable state, federal, and international regulatory requirements in real-time. Through the Compliance Assistant, your clinic can generate accurate and compliant documents—including CVIs, EIAs, International Health Certificates, VFDs, prescriptions, and more—with greater efficiency and accuracy. Designed with veterinarians in mind, it’s accessible from any device with internet access, with no installation required.
GVL SmartEngine® is an intelligent rules engine containing up-to-date state and federal compliance rules that powers the Compliance Assistant platform. SmartEngine helps ensure veterinarians select or input the correct information when creating certificates, then automatically verifies the entire document for accuracy, completeness, and compliance before signing. It eliminates the need to manually research regulations or worry about missing requirements. SmartEngine is constantly updated with the latest regulatory changes, so you always have current rules at your fingertips—no manual updates required. This technology ensures certificates are accurate the first time, eliminating rejected paperwork and wasted hours.
The Compliance Assistant supports a comprehensive range of animal health and movement documents across all species: Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVIs/health certificates) for domestic travel, International Health Certificates for global pet travel, Hawaii Health Certificates, Extended Equine CVIs (EECVIs), Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA/Coggins) tests, Rabies vaccination certificates for dogs, cats, and horses, Veterinary prescriptions, Veterinary Feed Directives (VFDs), and ForSale certificates (Florida). The platform is the only compliance software you’ll need for all species and all U.S. states and territories, eliminating the need to juggle multiple systems.
Veterinarians consistently report creating certificates in under 5 minutes using the Compliance Assistant. The platform’s SmartEngine technology enables swift generation of precise, pre-audited documents in five minutes or less. This speed is achieved through intelligent workflows that guide you step-by-step, auto-fill information from stored animal records, automatically apply compliance rules, and run accuracy checks before signing. What used to take hours of research and data entry now takes just minutes, freeing up valuable time to focus on patient care instead of paperwork.
Yes. One of the most powerful features of the Compliance Assistant is its automated submission capability. Once you finalize and sign a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), the platform automatically sends it to state animal health officials for both the origin and destination states—no additional steps required. This automatic routing fulfills regulatory requirements without manual intervention, ensures certificates reach the proper authorities instantly, and eliminates the risk of forgetting to submit. International Health Certificates can be submitted directly to the USDA via VEHCS for endorsement, further streamlining your compliance workflow.
Absolutely. GlobalVetLink is the only SOC 2-compliant compliance platform in the animal health industry. The Compliance Assistant is built on GVL’s SOC-2 secure platform, ensuring the highest standards for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Additionally, SmartCert technology provides verifiable digital fraud protection through advanced watermarking, unique QR codes on certificates for instant verification, automated certificate routing, and secure sharing via encrypted channels. All certificates feature the GlobalVetLink watermark, which can be verified as authentic.
Yes. The Compliance Assistant is a cloud-hosted, mobile-friendly platform that works on any device with an internet connection, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. Whether you’re in the clinic, on a farm call, making house visits, or traveling, your compliance tools are always at your fingertips with nothing to install. This mobile accessibility is especially valuable for equine and production animal veterinarians who frequently work in the field and need to create certificates on-site. Simply log in from any device and access all the same features you’d have at your desk.
GVL SmartEngine® technology is continuously updated with the latest state and federal regulatory requirements, so you never have to worry about manual updates or outdated rules. When regulations change, whether due to disease outbreaks, new state requirements, or updated federal rules, the Compliance Assistant automatically incorporates these changes into the platform. In emergency situations, such as disease outbreaks, GVL can quickly adjust SmartEngine entry requirements to reflect emergency measures. This means you’re always working with current regulations without having to research changes yourself or risk creating non-compliant documents.
The Certificate Creator is the core feature of the Compliance Assistant, guiding users through a step-by-step workflow for creating various certificate types. It ensures necessary data for each certificate is correctly input by presenting only valid options based on the certificate type and destination requirements, storing relevant data to eliminate re-entry, and providing guided prompts for required information. Once completed, the platform runs a comprehensive accuracy check to ensure valid data has been utilized. If mistakes or omissions are detected, the Compliance Assistant alerts you and directs you to exactly where corrections are needed—before you sign. This pre-auditing process increases clinic productivity and eliminates the frustration of rejected documents.
Yes. The Compliance Assistant integrates with various practice management systems, including Covetrus Impromed, BusinessInfusions (HVMS), Thorovet, and WiseOption. These integrations help streamline your workflow by reducing duplicate data entry and allowing information to flow between systems. Additionally, GVL Connect is a browser extension that collects patient and owner data from your PMS or online intake forms to simplify certificate creation. The platform also offers specialized integrations, such as The Jockey Club Registry, for importing horse information via microchip search and RFID reader compatibility, allowing for the direct collection of animal ID information into certificates. These integrations enhance efficiency and accuracy across your entire practice workflow.
