Our solution
One Centralized Record
A laptop browser shows the EchidnaCare dashboard with today's animal care, veterinary follow-ups, pharmacy stock, nursery checks, shift handoffs, maintenance work orders, QR-labelled habitats, permit reminders and training. Beside it, a phone shows a ruffed lemur's profile with weight, feeding and health observations saved offline and waiting to sync. All entries are illustrative examples.

How it works
Identify Issues in Real Time
When a keeper logs a problem, it appears on a shared map of your park, so maintenance sees where it is and what changed. (Interactive demo with sample records, not live facility data.)

About us
Better Records Mean Better Care. That's the Whole Idea.
Our mission
Echidna is animal care and facility management software made in the USA. It brings veterinary records, daily care and operations together so teams can share information and spend less time moving it between systems.
Built around the daily reality
The rounds, the records, the inspections, the maintenance requests. Echidna is organized the way facilities actually run their day, so care teams can record work where it happens.
