Hospital & Clinic Energy, Connectivity, VoIP & Secure Payment Solutions

Veterinary Practices Sector Overview

Modern veterinary clinics combine 24 / 7 emergency cover, imaging suites, in-house labs and retail dispensaries, all of which drive constant energy demand and require iron-clad connectivity. Power-hungry autoclaves, X-ray generators and climate-controlled kennels make bills volatile, while cloud practice-management systems, digital radiography and card payments must stay online even during a storm. Owners juggle tight margins, RCVS compliance and heightened client expectations for mobile booking and contactless checkout.

Bright Edge solves each pain point by negotiating wholesale, fixed-price energy contracts for multi-year budget certainty, provisioning low-latency fibre with 4G / 5G fail-over to protect e-prescriptions and PACS uploads, deploying veterinary-grade VoIP with mobile apps for on-call vets, and supplying PCI-ready payment terminals that speed client checkout and cut MDR fees. One partner, one invoice, less admin, more animal care.

Business Energy for Veterinary Practices

Continuous refrigeration of vaccines, after-hours lighting for ICU wards and power-intense digital X-ray machines create a load profile that’s very different from a typical high-street retailer. As a veterinary energy broker, Bright Edge captures half-hourly consumption, maps surgery hours, overnight monitoring and weekend clinics, then tenders our wholesale network for tariffs built for 24 / 7 readiness. When financial predictability outweighs market timing, we recommend fixed contracts up to 60 months, locking rates across entire development plans or refurbishment cycles. Renewable REGO-backed electricity satisfies eco-conscious clients and supports B-Corp or ISO 14001 ambitions.

• Fixed or flex tariffs tuned to constant clinical demand

• Forward-buy up to 12 months before renewal for budget certainty

• Renewable options to support sustainability and CSR messaging

At-a-glance benefits

Broadband & Connectivity for Vet Clinics

Cloud-based PIMS, tele-consults and high-resolution imaging files demand deterministic bandwidth. Bright Edge installs symmetrical fibre (100 Mb–1 Gb) backed by automatic 4G / 5G so CT uploads, lab integrations and MiLab equipment remain online even if the street cabinet fails during an emergency C-section at 3 a.m. VLAN segregation isolates guest Wi-Fi from medical devices, ensuring GDPR and RCVS data-security compliance, while SD-WAN connects branch clinics into a single secure WAN.

• 99.9 % SLA plus sub-second cellular fail-over for uninterrupted PACS traffic

• Content filtering protects waiting-room Wi-Fi from unsuitable sites

• Rapid wireless bridges link kennels, barns or mobile theatres without trenching

Secure Payment & Billing Solutions For Vets

Pet owners expect tap-to-pay speed at checkout, and high MDRs eat into surgical margins. As a veterinary payments provider, Bright Edge supplies counter-top, portable Wi-Fi and mobile 4G readers, each PCI-DSS ready and Pay-by-Link portals for deposits or repeat prescriptions. Wholesale acquiring rates typically cut card fees 15–30 %, and terminals support Apple Pay, Google Pay and vet-plan integration with IDEXX or Provet.

• Integrated terminals sync with leading PIMS for single-click billing

• 15–30 % MDR savings via wholesale acquiring rates

• Free PCI portal – SAQ assistance & quarterly scans
