Dallas-based Evette is barking up a new tree with its latest move to revolutionize the veterinary industry. The relief staffing agency announced a tail-wagging integration with Krista.ai, a fellow Dallas-based company and leader in enterprise-wide AI orchestration.

The boost in productivity could be a new leash on life for a sector that’s been begging for innovation.

The AI-powered approach isn’t just about fetching better results—it’s a strategic move to address a multi-billion-dollar problem. The veterinary industry is facing significant staff shortages and high turnover rates due to burnout, costing the animal healthcare industry $1 billion to $2 billion annually. By unleashing Krista.ai’s capabilities, Evette aims to put the bite on tedious administrative tasks that have been hounding the industry.

Evette CEO and founder Elise Burns is enthusiastic about the partnership’s potential. “Integrating with Krista.ai is a win-win across the board,” she said in a statement. “We’ll be able to eliminate human friction and automate tedious, administrative tasks that have been overwhelming our employees.”

Burns emphasized that the impact of the integration will be far-reaching. “This isn’t going to be a single-department solution,” she noted. Instead, she envisions it as “a one-stop shop across our entire business.”

The move will free up employees to focus on impactful work and grow in their roles, Evette said. As a transformational platform designed to deploy AI into company operations, the integration will accelerate Evette’s business outcomes and ROI by automating processes in everyday language across its workforce, existing systems, and AI.

Aiming for a “’50-80% productivity increase'”

Founded in 2019, Krista.ai helps enterprises bring AI safely into their ecosystems. Krista.ai CEO Michael Haske sees vast potential in the partnership. “We’re helping Evette unlock the capabilities of their tech stack,” he explained, adding that it would also “maximize the potential of their current and future employees.”

The impact of Krista.ai’s technology has been significant for other clients. “Our clients typically see an average of 50-80% productivity increase,” Haske noted. Looking ahead, he aims to “streamline their processes and, ultimately, help employees reach their full capabilities.”

The company’s innovative approach has not gone unnoticed in the tech community. Krista Chief AI Officer Luther Birdzell was recently included in the AI75, the inaugural list of the most innovative leaders in artificial intelligence in Dallas-Fort Worth, underscoring the company’s cutting-edge position in the field.

Evette, which provides veterinary staffing solutions to over 2,500 clinics nationwide, sets itself apart with a suite of benefits rarely seen in the industry. These include guaranteed competitive salaries, paid time off, 401k plans, stock options, and a unique perk: a personal booking agent available around the clock.

The company’s approach goes beyond basic staffing. Evette focuses on matching relief veterinarians and technicians with positions that align with their skills and passion for animal care.

The ultimate aim, Burns said, is to enhance the company’s core services. By automating administrative tasks, she believes employees will be able to “focus on the work that matters—ensuring high-quality, bespoke concierge services to our veterinarians and vet techs.”
