One dashboard surfaces what needs attention now — animals, clinical care, breeding, maintenance, team, and compliance — and every tile jumps to the section below that explains it.
EchidnaCare · Dashboard
EchidnaVet is always included. We will never charge extra for the medical records you shouldn't operate without — on any plan, at any size.
Your team keeps logging when Wi-Fi drops in the reptile house or the far paddock.
EchidnaCare saves care logs and field photos on the device, uploads them when the connection returns, and flags anything that needs another look.

The tools weren't built for the people doing the work.
Large systems can slow down daily work.
Research-focused platforms can be powerful, but many facilities need a simpler way to run care, records, and operations each day.
Spreadsheets fall apart.
They lose data, don't travel to the barn, and can't give a manager a real-time picture of every animal on the grounds.
Medical records shouldn't be an add-on.
With some tools, veterinary records end up a separately priced decision. We think an animal's health story belongs in core care — so EchidnaVet is included on every plan.
EchidnaCare is the modern middle: serious enough for your records, simple enough for every team member — with medical always included.
Ready for real operations
Easy for staff to use. Complete enough for managers to trust.
A better system should make daily work easier, keep records dependable, support inspection readiness, and let you switch without losing years of animal history.
Inspection-ready
Ready for inspections
Clear change history, compliance reports, annual inventory downloads, and controlled access help managers know what is ready to show.
Any device
Easy for the whole team
Unlimited staff seats, quick field logging, offline maintenance reports, and phone-friendly care screens make consistent records easier.
Controlled access
Private by default
Approved roles control sensitive views. Staff choose whether to share location, and location tools are limited to active shifts and safety needs.

Offline field logging
Care logs save on the device when Wi-Fi drops, upload when the connection returns, and flag anything that needs attention.
Daily care schedules
Create repeating care plans, see what is due today, and record completed or skipped work in one clear list.
Staff schedules and timesheets
EchidnaCare can draft the weekly schedule from your team and facility events. You review and publish it, staff are notified, and worked hours are ready for payroll.
Quarantine & intake
Track active quarantine periods, observations, clearances, and warnings when an animal is placed outside the designated quarantine area.
Full veterinary chart
SOAP notes, a drug formulary with a weight-based dose calculator, structured labs with trend graphs, diagnostic imaging, lab send-out tracking, anesthesia & immobilization records, body-condition scoring, a problem list, vaccines, a controlled-drug register, structured necropsy, and record finalization — no medical add-on or extra fee.
Rehab intake to release
Pre-admission call log, intake, treatment, and release with the acta de liberación — plus post-release monitoring and outcome analytics like release rate and days in care.
Show all 12 more capabilitiesShow fewer capabilities
Volunteers and hours
Track volunteers alongside paid staff, log clocked and manual hours, and export month or year-to-date totals for grant reporting.
Staff levels & progression
Build your own staff ladder — name each level, set what earns it with tenure and manager sign-offs, and keep advanced features locked until keepers level up. Every promotion is manager-approved.
Medical and supply inventory
Stock drugs, PPE, cleaning, and consumables with low-stock alerts and vendor links, and log water-quality readings for aquatic enclosures.
Bilingual — English & Spanish
Switch the app between English and Spanish anytime — including a built-in bilingual reference of common wildlife parasites and rehab diagnoses.
Inspection-ready reports
Census, annual inventory, spreadsheet downloads, and printable inspection packets stay tied to the current animal record.
Trends and insights
Population, transfer, care activity, and species trends — plus daily attention flags for weight drops, refused feeds, low body condition, and overdue care — help directors spot what changed before it becomes a spreadsheet chase.
Multi-site network and transfers
Keep each site's records separate, browse pairing and placement listings, and move animals with their full history and clear review steps.
Maintenance, equipment & environment
Place buildings, cameras, and vehicles on the facility map, record inspections, and track repairs from report to completion. Schedule recurring service — like UVB-bulb changes — routed to the maintenance team or a specific department, and track each enclosure's equipment plus its temperature-gradient, humidity, and UV targets with logged readings.
Public intake & sponsorships
For rescues: a public “found an animal” form that becomes a patient record, and a sponsor page that turns supporters into donors through your own donation page.
Studbook & genetics
Keep family histories, review relatedness, and make better-informed breeding decisions.
Flora catalog & plant safety
Search 17,875 plant species with a simple safe, caution, or never-plant rating before planting around animals.
Compliance assistant
Find relevant guidance and draft responses for qualified review using the rules and standards that apply in your country.

Schedule, support, and protect your whole team.
Team management has its own connected workspace for people, scheduling, clock-ins, safety, wellbeing, and day-to-day coordination.
Staff safety
Coded SOS alerts, incident response, facility lockdowns, and department-level coordination keep the right people informed.
Clock-in & timesheets
Team members clock in and out on any phone, while managers review hours, approve records, and export payroll-ready CSVs.
On-shift safety tracking
Consent-based location sharing helps coordinate urgent responses during active shifts and stops when a team member clocks out.
Team health
Private clock-in and clock-out check-ins create anonymous wellbeing trends without exposing individual responses.
Schedules & shift coverage
Build and publish weekly schedules, handle time off, fill coverage gaps, and compare scheduled hours with time worked.
Messages & confirmations
Send team or department updates, see required read confirmations, and keep operational communication in one place.
Complete records
Not just animal names. The full history your team needs.
When you switch, your working history should come with you. EchidnaCare keeps animal, medical, enclosure, document, staff, and compliance records connected from day one.
Complete animal profile
Identifiers, photos, species details, status, enclosure history, parentage, weights, documents, transfers, and a searchable lifetime timeline.
Clinical history
SOAP notes, vitals, diagnostics and imaging, medications, vaccines, anesthesia and procedures, follow-ups, lab attachments and send-outs, body-condition trends, structured necropsy, and active treatment plans.
Enclosures & facility map
See habitats, zones, maintenance reports, safety information, and animal movements on one facility map.
Documents
Permits, acquisition and disposition paperwork, vet attachments, inspection documents, and official files stored beside the animal record.
Director dashboard
Overdue care, active treatments, rechecks, staff activity, animal counts, maintenance work, and inspection readiness at a glance.
Your data stays yours
Download your records, review important changes, and keep a complete copy of your facility's history whenever you need it.
Field maintenance
When something breaks, the right person knows in seconds.
A burst pipe, a failing heat lamp, a damaged fence — the staff member who spots it is rarely the one who fixes it. Field maintenance closes that gap, turning a problem at the enclosure into a tracked, assigned, resolved job without a single radio call or paper note.

Assign nearest teammate
Report
A staff member snaps a photo, describes the issue, drops a GPS pin, and flags it critical — in seconds, from any phone at the enclosure. No signal? It saves to the device and uploads itself the moment they're back in range.
Triage
Every report lands in one shared field notebook, sorted critical-first and grouped by status — open, in progress, resolved — so the most urgent problems rise to the top and nothing gets buried.
Assign
Assign it to maintenance or animal care staff, alert the team if it is urgent, and open the exact map location so the nearest on-shift teammate can head straight there.
Resolve
Track the job from open to in progress to resolved, toggle critical as conditions change, and close the loop with a clear, photo-backed record of what broke and how it was fixed.

Behavioral husbandry
Training Lab turns animal training into measurable species care.
A voluntary-training and behavioral-husbandry workspace built into EchidnaCare — where plans, sessions, and progress live alongside the rest of the animal's record.
Training Plan Builder
Design structured plans for each behavior — goal, target criteria, and the approximation steps to get there — so every trainer works from the same playbook.
Criteria Ladder
Break a target behavior into clear, incremental criteria and advance only when the animal is ready — consistency the whole team can follow.
Progress Dashboard
Track behavior progress, session frequency, and success rates over time — turn daily training into measurable trends.

Built alongside working facilities
Made by people who've done the rounds, filed the reports, and answered the inspector's questions.
EchidnaCare isn't software written by people who've never been behind the scenes. It's built around how real facilities operate — the rounds, the records, the inspections, the daily reality of caring for animals.
