Abstract
This paper presents a post‑implementation analysis and system design plan for digitizing animal health records within the Animal Health Services (AHS) department. The project addresses inefficiencies, data inaccuracies, and physical storage limitations associated with paper‑based documentation by proposing the adoption of a Software as a Service (SaaS) digital records solution. Through stakeholder interviews, observations, and document analysis, the project identifies functional, non‑functional, and system requirements necessary to support streamlined reporting, treatment tracking, and regulatory compliance. The analysis outlines feasibility across technical, economic, and organizational dimensions, demonstrating that the proposed system can reduce documentation time, improve response times, and lower operational costs while increasing record accuracy and accessibility. The paper further details system design, data flows, use cases, risk mitigation strategies, testing plans, and a phased, parallel implementation approach to ensure continuity of animal welfare operations. Overall, the project illustrates how a well‑planned digital transformation can enhance efficiency, data integrity, and decision‑making in a regulated animal health environment.
