I’m Nicole, inventory pro + founder of Veterinary Care Logistics
Take a deep breath, friend! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’ve been in your shoes (and occasionally, tripped over the inventory), so I’ve got your back.
Start with the "Complete Guide to Not Running Out": This free PDF strategy guide will give you some tips and strategies for keeping things in stock and finally stop running out of items!
Next, join Reorder Tag Magic. Reorder Tags are one of my favorite tools for white goods and hospital supplies! They can be a game changer for many practices. This step-by-step course walks you through the process of adding them to your practice.
Not sure where to start? Feeling super overwhelmed?
A step-by-step course to help you create and set up reorder tags so you’ll have a strategy for ordering white goods and hospital supplies (and more!) – without relying on the “want book”!
This was made for you if... you rely on someone telling you (or writing it on a list) when they've used the last box of syringes or gloves.
Want to get started with a quick win?
Snag a mini-course and change your life.*
(*Inventory pros all across the country agree!)
Love for Reorder Tag Magic, a fan favorite
“I have started to use reorder tags, set up reorder points in Avimark, and recruited my coworkers to see inventory as a team focus instead of a one man job. I am so proud to have taken what was a mess of inventory to a somewhat well oiled machine!”

Prefer to read? We wrote the book on inventory management—and started the book club!
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT FOR VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS
The first-ever textbook that might actually keep you awake—and dare we say, excited?—about managing your practice's supplies
(Also actually the first textbook on veterinary inventory management EVER, but who’s counting?)
The book is perfect for dedicated inventory managers as well as practice managers juggling a million tasks, CSRs with a secret love for spreadsheets, or vet techs who are tired of playing "Where's Waldo?" with supplies. Plus, it's packed with real-world stories that'll have you nodding along and thinking, "Oh good, it's not just me!"
Order your copy, and join the free book club!
Finally, practical courses that cover everything you were never taught about inventory.
Shake a bottle and make a guess “training” ends here!
We’ve got everything from “starting from scratch” courses to the industry’s only certification program, but here’s where you’ll want to get started!
Already in the job and feeling like everything’s on fire?

YOUR SURVIVAL GUIDE TO YOUR FIRST 60-DAYS AS INVENTORY MANAGER
"This program has been a godsend. I have learned so much and just feel so empowered to really get our inventory to the "sweet" spot. I feel like I have gotten so many tools to work with that help me to tackle all of the challenges inventory management can throw at me.”
Bree
“I love the completeness of the course. It addresses everything from the ordering process, organization, mindsets and self care. Very balanced and well thought through. Coming into this role, I had a good idea of what it entailed but did not have a clear understanding of what it should be. This course provided that and much more. Now I can take what I learned here and make a clear path for the next inventory manager in line.”
