We'll write the description.
A vet secretary spends 15 to 20 minutes translating each marking chart into a passport description. At 200 horses a month that adds up to 4,000 minutes of paperwork. EquiSketch reads the chart, writes the description in proper FEI wording and files it for whichever Irish PIO you need, all in a few seconds.

A vet's secretary spends 15 to 20 minutes translating each marking chart into a passport description.
At 200 horses a month, a busy single-vet practice is looking at 4,000 minutes of human handwriting, retyping, faxing, and chasing the post. Multiply across an equine network and the cost is staggering. EquiSketch returns those 66 hours to clinical work, breeding decisions, or simply going home before dark.
One bounced chart costs your client a month.
A chart the PIO sends back, an unreadable description, a whorl on the wrong side, the wrong vocabulary for that registry, means resubmission, more post, and a passport stuck in limbo while the client rings your front desk. EquiSketch writes each description in the exact wording that PIO's own completed charts use, so it goes through the first time.
Grow registrations without growing headcount.
Every chart your team retypes by hand is billable time given away. With the descriptions written for them, the same secretary can handle three times the registration volume, and your vets get their evenings back. No new hires, no new software training beyond "upload the chart".
When the foal crop lands, the paperwork lands with it.
May to September, registrations pile up faster than any front desk can hand-write them. Practices that set up EquiSketch before the rush clear each chart in seconds instead of twenty minutes, right through the busiest weeks of the year.
From vet to PIO in under a minute.

"If we got back even half of the time we currently spend on chart paperwork, that's another full diagnostic case a week. Per vet."
"I retype every chart in Weatherbys or HSI wording, double-check the microchip, post it. It's the most repetitive 4 hours of my week."
"When charts arrive complete, microchip-indexed and audit-ready, re-issues stop being a research project."
