Your Digitail Onboarding Journey, Training, and Ongoing Support

What to Expect From Onboarding to Go Live, Including Future Training Options

This article walks you through what to expect as you onboard with Digitail, how training is delivered, what happens when you go live, and how to access support and training resources after launch.


Data Migration

We handle the technical setup, so your team can stay focused on patient care. You provide data uploads and examples from your current system, and our in-house migration team converts your data from any veterinary software into Digitail.


Training and onboarding

You will work with a dedicated Onboarding Specialist who builds a personalized training plan for your clinic. Training includes guided tutorials, structured learning paths, and video walkthroughs designed to make adoption simple and intuitive.


The Training Academy during onboarding

The Training Academy is integrated directly into the onboarding process and is designed to help your team learn how to use Digitail effectively.

Your clinic’s role during onboarding training

Successful onboarding is a collaborative process. During this phase, we expect your clinic to actively participate in training rather than passively receive information.

To support a smooth transition, your clinic is responsible for the following.

• Designate a transition coordinator
Assign a primary point of contact who will help manage the onboarding process and communicate with our team.

• Participate in role-specific, hands-on training
Each team member should complete training modules aligned to their role and practice the tasks they perform in their day-to-day work.

• Explore your data in the Test Playground


Your team should spend time reviewing and working with your migrated data in the Test Playground environment to understand how information appears and behaves in Digitail before going live.

How training is delivered

Training is delivered through bite-sized, role-specific modules designed to make adoption straightforward and manageable. We provide guided tutorials, structured learning paths, and hands-on support throughout onboarding.

Why completing training modules matters

Completing each training module in full is important to get the most value from your onboarding experience. Each module focuses on real workflows your team will use every day, allowing everyone to practice in context rather than simply watching demonstrations.

The goal is hands-on experience, so your team feels confident from day one. Our educational resources and support are designed to remove barriers to learning and help your clinic maximize efficiency as soon as you are live.

How it works

• A user account must be created for each team member in your clinic
• Once access is available, they can begin the Training Academy
• Training is role-based and delivered in clear, bite-sized modules

Who should use it

• Team members involved in implementation
• New staff who join while your clinic is still onboarding

This ensures everyone receives consistent training as your clinic prepares to go live.


Testing phase

Before going live, you will have access to a Test Playground environment. This allows you to explore your migrated data and understand how your workflows will function in Digitail without impacting daily operations.


Go-live

Just before launch, we complete a final data snapshot to capture any recent updates. On your go-live date, your clinic transitions fully to Digitail with hands-on assistance from our team.


Post-launch hypercare

After going live, your Onboarding Specialist continues to support your clinic for 2 weeks, or for up to 4 weeks if your clinic migrated data from another system. During this time, they help you refine workflows, answer questions, and gain confidence using Digitail.

When this period ends, your clinic moves to our Support team, or to Customer Success for larger clinics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I book my kickoff call?

Complete your Pre-Boarding Tasks first. These include a short checklist and a 20-minute setup video, and you can open them from the welcome email you received when your onboarding began. Once your Pre-Boarding Tasks are complete, you can schedule your kickoff call in your onboarding hub, My Digitail Journey.

I completed my Pre-Boarding Tasks, but I can't book my kickoff call. What should I do?

Kickoff booking opens once an Onboarding Specialist has been assigned to your clinic, which can take a little time after your tasks are complete. This isn't an error, so there's no need to report it. Once your Onboarding Specialist is assigned, they'll reach out to you to schedule your kickoff call.

Where do I find my onboarding tasks?

Your onboarding tasks are in My Digitail Journey, your onboarding hub. In Digitail, go to Administration and open My Digitail Journey.

What happens during my kickoff call?

Your Onboarding Specialist reviews your onboarding plan, confirms your clinic's goals and timeline, and maps out the steps to your go-live. They also confirm your main point of contact, your go-live date, and your setup needs, such as devices, printers, payments, and integrations.

Who do I contact with questions during onboarding?

Your Onboarding Specialist is your main point of contact during onboarding and through your post go-live period. They'll stay in touch by email and during your scheduled calls. If your Onboarding Specialist is away, or something needs attention sooner, you can email our onboarding team at onboarding@digitail.io. And for anything else, our Support team is always happy to help through the chat icon in the lower right corner of Digitail.

How long does my Onboarding Specialist support us after go-live?

Your Onboarding Specialist supports your clinic for 2 weeks after go-live, or for up to 4 weeks if you migrated data from another system. After that, your questions go to our Support team, or to Customer Success for larger clinics.

What should we test before go-live?

Before go-live, your Onboarding Specialist works with you to confirm your users and permissions, schedules, and visit types, and to test label printing, payment terminals, and any lab integrations. For recommended printers and devices, see Hardware that works with Digitail.
