Frequently Asked Questions

How is Digitail different from DVMAX?

DVMAX has been officially retired by IDEXX and is no longer receiving updates, security patches, or support. Digitail is actively developed with weekly releases, 20+ built-in AI workflows, a pet parent app, and enterprise-grade reporting. Moving from DVMAX to Digitail means going from end-of-life software to a modern cloud platform with a long-term roadmap.

Does Digitail use AI, and how does it help my team?

Yes. Digitail includes 20+ AI workflows built directly into the platform. Tails AI powers SOAP dictation, automated discharge notes, patient history summaries, intake form pre-population, treatment plan suggestions, and voice-to-invoice. These tools save an average of 70 minutes per DVM per day and reduce missed charges. Every AI feature is tested in real clinics before release.

If I decide to switch to Digitail, how does migration from DVMAX work?

With DVMAX retired, every DVMAX practice needs a migration plan. Digitail’s in-house team handles the full transition: data extraction, cleanup, validation in a testing environment, and go-live support. Your data comes across as fully searchable records, and a final snapshot is included before go-live so nothing is left behind.

Who should stay with DVMAX?

DVMAX has been retired by IDEXX and is no longer receiving updates or support. We’d recommend all DVMAX practices begin evaluating modern alternatives, whether Digitail or another cloud-based PIMS.

Who should choose Digitail?

Digitail is ideal for GP clinics, mobile practices, de novos, and multi-location groups looking for a modern cloud platform with built-in AI and a smooth migration path. If you run a high-volume specialty or urgent care clinic, Digitail may not be the best fit.
