Low Cost Vet Mobile Provides High-Volume Curbside Veterinary Services in NYC Using Plustek's MobileOffice S420

Online, June 5, 2013 (Newswire.com) - - Founded in 2009, Low Cost Vet Mobile is a mobile veterinary hospital that provides low-cost, high-volume services to the New York City area, including the five boroughs. Low Cost Vet Mobile employs a total of eight veterinarians. The mobile MASH hospital operates with a four or five person crew which includes at least one veterinarian and one veterinary technician. Each unit services about 40 appointments per day.

Before using a mobile scanner, Low Cost Vet Mobile kept full medical charts in the van for every appointment they made throughout the day and the van was quickly running out of room. Another problematic situation involved the long process of paperwork that needed to be sent to veterinary laboratories and hospitals for blood tests, medical records, and to schedule surgeries. Papers were not sent until the end of the day when the team arrived back to the main office to scan and email them, thus lengthening the process and time to when surgeries were scheduled.

Two years ago, Low Cost Vet Mobile decided to solve these problems by buying a Plustek MobileOffice S420 mobile scanner to go paperless. By using the MobileOffice S420 scanner, the Low Cost Vet Mobile team is able to provide its services more efficiently and effectively. They are able to scan their paperwork at 12 pages per minute using Plustek's MobileOffice S420. Scanned paperwork can be now be emailed immediately from the van; eliminating their older problem when paperwork was not sent until the day's end.

The Plustek MobileOffice S420 is a small, lightweight scanner that takes up very little room in the van. Eliminating the need for piles and piles of files creates more usable room in the van as well.

Vibration from a moving van is a huge factor for a business that operates on the road. Plustek's mobile scanners have proven effective despite the vibration issues. The Low Cost Mobile Vet team not only scans documents, but they are able to use as the MobileOffice S420 as a copy machine and attach the documents to emails from the road.

Designed with the reliability demanded by business users, and a price point attractive to home users, the second generation mobile scanners are powered by the USB and do not require external power. With the touch of a button, users can scan information directly to a laptop. It also features advanced image processing that allows the user to scan mixed sized documents with no adjustments. Images are automatically straightened, rotated and adjusted for exposure with no manual intervention. The result is more accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and fewer pages that need to be rescanned. The included software productivity suite allows the user to easily create and manage searchable PDF's. Industry standard TWAIN drivers combined with TIF, JPG, PDF and Microsoft Office file formats ensure compatibility with thousands of scanning and imaging programs. The MobileOffice S420 features a faster 12ppm scan speed, embossed card scanning, an office docking station, may be shared between two PCs, and is Energy Star compliant.
