SCORECARD

ExistenceGOODCovetrus Connect is a real integration platform supporting batch, real-time, and two-way exchange across Covetrus PMS products.
AccessFAILPartner program application, signed agreement, and NDA come before any technical documentation; no self-serve path.
CoveragePOORPublicly, nothing about reachable data is documented; the full endpoint spec sits behind the partner NDA.
AuthFAILClient ID and secret are issued per practice; every clinic configures its own integration, and no OAuth scopes are published.
Docs & DXFAILNo developer portal or sandbox; the Developers Tool Kit and docs unlock only after a signed partner agreement.
StabilityMIXEDConnect is the only sanctioned long-term rail, but services synced through it logged 19+ outages in a year per StatusGator.
Supergood: eVetPractice has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
