Overview

What is PetChainCRM?

PetChainCRM is a centralised, blockchain-informed Customer Relationship Management platform purpose-built for the UK pet microchipping ecosystem. It replaces the current patchwork of competing, siloed databases with a single authoritative registry — accessible in real time by every authorised stakeholder.

Built under the APSA framework and developed in consultation with veterinary bodies, insurance industry partners, local authorities, and animal welfare organisations, PetChainCRM doesn't just digitise the existing process — it fundamentally reimagines it.

At its core, PetChainCRM uses an immutable audit trail to record every chip registration, ownership transfer, veterinary interaction, and authority lookup — creating a trustworthy, tamper-evident record for every registered animal in the UK.

The Problem Today

A System That's Failing Pets & Owners

  • Over 8 million pets in the UK alone have outdated or unregistered microchip records
  • Fragmented databases mean a lost pet's chip may return zero results across multiple registries
  • Insurers cannot verify pet ownership or breed at point of claim — opening the door to fraud
  • Rescue centres have no real-time lookup capability, delaying reunions by days or weeks
  • Ownership transfers are manual, paper-based, and frequently never completed
  • Local authorities lack a single source of truth for dangerous dog management

"The current system isn't broken — it never really worked. PetChainCRM is the fix the industry has needed for a decade."

The Solution

How PetChainCRM Solves It

Unified National Registry

A single, authoritative microchip database with real-time updates. One lookup. Every registered pet. No more fragmented results across competing registries.

Instant Ownership Transfer

Digital ownership transfer completed in minutes — with full audit trail, identity verification, and automatic notification to all connected parties.

Vet Portal

Chip registration at the point of implant. Vets log directly into PetChainCRM during the procedure — no paper forms, no delayed registrations.

Insurer Dashboard

Verified ownership, breed, vaccination history, and risk profiling — all accessible via a secure dashboard or REST API integration with existing policy systems.

Local Authority Access

Real-time lookup for stray and dangerous dog management. Officers can verify ownership, check bite history, and flag animals of concern instantly.

Pet Owner App

Owners view their pet's full verified profile, update contact details, receive alerts when their chip is scanned, and manage ownership transfers digitally.

Insurance Industry

Greater Oversight for Insurers

The UK pet insurance market is worth £2.3 billion annually — and growing. PetChainCRM gives insurers the verified data infrastructure they need to operate with confidence.

Verified Pet Identity at Point of Policy

No more relying on owner-supplied photos and descriptions. PetChainCRM provides cryptographically verified breed, age, and microchip data at the moment of policy inception.

Fraud Reduction

Cross-reference claims against the national registry in real time. Detect duplicate claims, misrepresented breeds, and ownership discrepancies before they cost you.

Accurate Risk Assessment

Access verified vaccination history, vet visit records, and breed-specific risk data to build more accurate actuarial models and price policies fairly.

Seamless API Integration

PetChainCRM's REST API integrates with your existing policy management systems. No rip-and-replace — just a clean data layer that enhances what you already have.

Regulatory Compliance

Full GDPR compliance with data minimisation principles. Insurers access only the data they're authorised to see, with a complete audit trail for every query.

Claims Velocity Improvement

Automated identity verification removes manual checks from the claims process — reducing handling time and improving customer satisfaction scores.

Industry Impact

"Insurers using PetChainCRM's verified data layer report up to a 34% reduction in fraudulent claims and a 28% improvement in claims processing speed within the first year of integration."

Insurer Queries

At policy inception or claim, the insurer queries PetChainCRM via API and receives verified, real-time data in milliseconds.

04

Ownership Updated

When a pet changes hands, the digital transfer is completed in minutes — with full audit trail and all parties notified.
