Case Study: Creating a Bespoke Reporting System for First Opinion Veterinary Ultrasound

Who Is The Client? 

First Opinion Veterinary Ultrasound (FOVU) is a specialist veterinary training and diagnostics provider. The company supports veterinary professionals who want to develop and refine their ultrasound skills through: 

• Online and in-practice training courses 
• On-site scanning services for veterinary practices 
• Educational resources and ongoing professional support 

Founded by veterinary ultrasound expert Dr Camilla Edwards, FOVU has built a strong reputation within the veterinary community for its high-quality training and practical, hands-on approach. 

What Was The Problem? 

FOVU was relying on an off-the-shelf reporting platform to record and share ultrasound findings, but it was becoming increasingly restrictive and could not keep pace with the business’s growth. 

The system lacked the flexibility to adapt to their unique workflows, data structures, and reporting requirements. 

Key challenges included: 

• Limited scope for scalability as the company expanded its services 
• Inability to customise the platform to suit their processes 
• Ongoing licensing costs with no ownership of the software or data 

To support long-term growth, FOVU needed a bespoke reporting system they could fully own, control, and scale, without being held back by the limitations of third-party tools. 

What Was Our Solution? 

We developed a custom reporting system using Nova/Laravel, designed specifically for FOVU's operational needs. 

Core features include: 

• Bespoke report creation tools to capture and structure ultrasound findings efficiently 
• Intelligent auto-population of data fields based on user input to save time and reduce errors 
• Custom data architecture aligned with their existing workflows for accuracy and consistency 

The platform removes the reliance on restrictive off-the-shelf software, eliminates licensing costs, and gives FOVU complete ownership and control over their reporting system. 

Following the success of this build, we are now developing the next phase - transforming the system into a multi-tenanted platform so it can be offered as a subscription service to other veterinary practices. 

What Was The Result? 

• Delivered a fully bespoke reporting platform tailored to specialist veterinary workflows 
• Reduced time spent creating ultrasound reports through automation 
• Eliminated ongoing licensing fees and dependency on third-party tools 
• Created a foundation for scalable growth by enabling future multi-practice use
