Why Choose Foodzilla for Australian Practice?

1. Cliniko Integration

If you're using Cliniko for practice management (as many Australian allied health practitioners do), Foodzilla's direct Cliniko integration is a significant advantage. Import clients, view appointments, and access consultation notes without switching platforms. Nutrium doesn't offer native Cliniko integration.

2. Australian & NZ Data Hosting

Foodzilla uses Australian data centres, keeping your client health information within the region. This matters for data sovereignty concerns and some clients' privacy expectations. Nutrium's servers are based in Europe.

3. Trans-Tasman Coverage

Foodzilla includes both Australian (AUSNUT/FSANZ) and New Zealand food databases. If you work with clients in both countries or want access to broader APAC food data, Foodzilla covers both markets natively.

4. Local Support & Time Zone

As a New Zealand-based company, Foodzilla provides support in APAC time zones. Nutrium, based in Portugal, operates on European time—which can mean delays for Australian users needing assistance.

5. Comprehensive App Branding

Foodzilla's white-label mobile app allows full customisation with your logo, colours, and practice name. This creates a premium, professional experience for your clients and differentiates your practice.

6. Built-In Payment Processing

Accept payments in Australian dollars directly through Foodzilla using Stripe. Create subscription packages, one-time payments, and automated billing without separate payment software.

 

When Nutrium Might Be Right

Nutrium is a solid platform with global presence. It might suit you if:

You don't use Cliniko and don't need that integration

You're primarily focused on European markets or have international clients there

You've previously used Nutrium and are familiar with the interface

Data hosting location isn't a priority for your practice
