ezyVet runs day-to-day veterinary practice management: appointment scheduling, clinical records and consults, invoicing and payments, client communication, and role-based team management. Its integrated Time Clock lets staff clock in and out from a dashboard button, and practice managers and permitted staff can view and change the recorded start and stop times from the Time Clock dashboard tab — but ezyVet’s own documentation does not describe a required reason for that change, an edit-history log, or an approval status distinct from the same edit permission. Keito is the layer in between: AI-drafted time entries a staff member confirms, reviewed and approved by someone else, with any change reasoned and recorded, before the hours become a paycheck.

Evidence behind payroll
Reviewed hours back the payroll and labor-cost record
ezyVet’s Time Clock feature has staff select a time clock button to record when they start and stop work, and ezyVet automatically keeps those records. Practice managers and staff with the necessary permissions use the Time Clock dashboard tab to see the records and change information about them, including the start and stop time, and can add an optional comment — for example, to explain why it was necessary to start or stop the clock. ezyVet’s documentation does not say a comment or reason is required before an edit can be saved, and it does not describe an edit-history log, a distinct approval status for a changed entry, or a separate payroll or timesheet-approval step. Keito answers the question that leaves open: did a reviewer distinct from whoever can edit the clock record actually confirm each staff member’s hours, with a reason recorded for any change, before those hours became a paycheck.
Set up vet techs, assistants, front-desk staff, and reviewers in Keito in days — ezyVet keeps running scheduling, clinical records, invoicing, and client communication exactly as it does today.
Keito drafts a time entry from the shift a staff member worked, so they confirm hours instead of clocking in and out through a record that permitted staff and managers can both edit with no documented required reason.
A separate reviewer approves payroll status before the period closes, then hands the approved hours to payroll as labor-cost evidence.
A time clock inside veterinary practice software, not a payroll gate
ezyVet is published as cloud veterinary practice management software: appointment scheduling, clinical records and consults, invoicing and payments, client communication, and role-based team management, with an integrated Time Clock feature marketed to help practices “accurately track staff hours” and “compare scheduled hours against actual work hours.” Staff record their own start and stop times through the Time Clock button, and ezyVet’s documentation describes practice managers and permitted staff using the Time Clock dashboard tab to view and change those records, including the start and stop time, with an optional comment. What that documentation does not describe is a required reason for a change, a log of who edited an entry or when, or an approval status distinct from the same edit permission — nor a separate payroll or timesheet-approval step before the recorded hours are used for pay. Keito’s argument is not that veterinary practices need a new scheduling, clinical-records, or invoicing platform — ezyVet already publishes all of that. It is that the hours behind a paycheck deserve a reviewer distinct from whoever can edit the clock record, and a recorded reason for any change, not an editable time-clock entry with no established review step of its own. Keito drafts a time entry from the shift worked, the staff member confirms it, and a separate reviewer settles payroll status before the hours become paycheck evidence. The boundary is deliberate: Keito has no appointment scheduling, clinical records, invoicing, or client communication tools, and it claims no native ezyVet integration, automatic import, or synchronisation. ezyVet keeps running the practice; Keito is where the hours behind it get an independent, reasoned review.
Choose ezyVet when the practice needs appointment scheduling, clinical records, invoicing, and client communication running from one platform
Choose Keito when the problem is that ezyVet’s Time Clock has no documented required change reason, edit-history log, or approval status distinct from the same edit permission
Prove it in one pay period: Keito runs alongside ezyVet, reviewing staff hours without touching scheduling or clinical records
Workflow fit
Keito keeps ezyVet alternative connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Keito drafts a time entry from the shift a staff member worked; they confirm and correct it instead of clocking in and out through a record that permitted staff and managers can both edit with no documented required reason.
ezyVet lets permitted staff and managers view and change a clock record’s start and stop time from the Time Clock dashboard tab, with an optional comment, but no documented required reason, edit-history log, or approval step distinct from that same edit permission; Keito’s reviewer settles payroll status for every entry, with a reason recorded for any change, before the period closes.
Reviewers approve veterinary staff hours and hand the evidence to payroll for labor-cost review, through exports the team designs and tests itself.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Product shape
A standalone workspace for reviewed, payroll-ready staff hours and labor-cost evidence.
ezyVet publishes cloud veterinary practice management software — appointment scheduling, clinical records and consults, invoicing and payments, client communication, and role-based team management, all in one platform.
How time is captured
AI drafts a shift-specific entry from the schedule worked; the staff member confirms it, and a separate reviewer approves before it becomes a paycheck.
ezyVet’s Time Clock feature has staff select a button to record start and stop times themselves, with the record kept automatically.
Editing and audit trail
Every reviewed hour carries a reviewer, an approval state, and a reasoned record of any change, tracked from the first draft.
ezyVet’s documentation describes permitted staff and managers changing a record’s start and stop time and adding an optional comment from the Time Clock dashboard tab, but reviewed documentation does not describe a required reason, an edit-history log, or an approval status distinct from that same edit permission.
Review before payroll
A reviewer distinct from the staff member settles payroll status per entry, with any change reasoned and recorded, before the period closes.
Reviewed ezyVet documentation covers viewing records, exporting time-clock data, and adding comments, but does not describe a separate payroll or timesheet-approval step before recorded hours are used for pay.
Pricing and adoption
Published flat team pricing and a setup measured in days, run alongside ezyVet.
ezyVet pricing is quote-based and available on request; the platform is marketed to practices of varying sizes with Time Clock included as a Team Management feature.
Data movement
Team-designed, tested exports and API handoffs moved in deliberate stages.
ezyVet’s own documentation does not describe a native payroll integration for Time Clock data; connecting recorded hours to outside payroll tools is not an assumed automatic sync with Keito.
It is software a veterinary practice adopts instead of, or alongside, ezyVet, which runs appointment scheduling, clinical records, invoicing, client communication, and team management. Because ezyVet already covers that much of running a practice, an alternative rarely replaces all of it at once. Keito is the alternative for the review gap behind ezyVet’s Time Clock: AI-drafted entries a staff member confirms, approved by a separate reviewer before those hours become a paycheck.
It does both. ezyVet includes an integrated Time Clock feature that lets staff record their own start and stop times from a dashboard button, with the record kept automatically. Practice managers and permitted staff can then view those records and change the start and stop time from the Time Clock dashboard tab, adding an optional comment. ezyVet’s own documentation describes that edit permission but does not describe a required reason for the change, an edit-history log, or an approval status distinct from the same permission.
The gap is an independent reviewer and a recorded reason, not time capture itself. ezyVet already lets staff clock in and out and lets permitted staff or managers edit those records, but its own documentation does not describe a required change reason or an approval status distinct from that same edit permission. Keito adds that layer: it drafts a time entry from the shift worked, the staff member confirms it, and a separate reviewer settles payroll status, with a reason recorded for any change, before the hours become paycheck evidence. ezyVet still owns scheduling, clinical records, invoicing, and client communication; Keito owns the independently reviewed hours record.
Choose ezyVet when the practice needs appointment scheduling, clinical records, invoicing, client communication, and team management running from one platform — it already covers all of that for veterinary clinics. Keito does not reproduce any of it: no scheduling, no clinical records, no invoicing, no client communication. It is the wrong choice if the immediate need is a practice management platform rather than an independently reviewed record of staff hours.
Each reviewed record keeps the staff member, role, shift, duration, description, payroll status, reviewer, approval state, and pay period, tied to the specific shift a staff member worked rather than a clock entry that permitted staff or managers could edit with no documented required reason. That package backs the payroll run and gives a practice manager a reviewed answer when a staff member’s hours are questioned.
No. Keito claims no native ezyVet integration, automatic import, or two-way synchronisation — ezyVet’s own scheduling, clinical records, invoicing, and Time Clock belong to its platform, not Keito’s. Capture in Keito is its own workflow: AI-drafted, typed, timed, and manually entered records that pass review before becoming payroll evidence. A practice can keep ezyVet for scheduling, clinical records, and invoicing and run Keito alongside it as the independent review layer for staff hours, with any transfer between them designed and tested by the team.
