Jarvis reports on your numbers. ScoutIQ reports on them too, and does the billing work that moves them.
The short answer
Jarvis Analytics is dental business intelligence, with Jarvis Scheduler, huddles and end-of-day reports. ScoutIQ includes the reporting layer and does the billing work behind the numbers: insurance payments posted from every ERA and paper EOB, patient balances collected, and PMS, bank and QuickBooks or Xero reconciled by location, with Atlas answering in plain English.

Each one comes with a result measured in a named practice’s own systems, not an estimate.
ScoutIQ posts insurance from every EOB and collects patient balances, so the dashboard moves because the work got done.
ERAs, paper EOBs, portal remittances and virtual cards read and posted; only exceptions reach a person.
Text, email and mail, plans and pay later, cards on file, each payment posted back to the PMS.
Every location on one set of numbers, whichever practice system each office runs.
Choose Jarvis Analytics if you want a reporting layer and nothing more. Choose ScoutIQ AI if you want the dashboards with the billing work attached: insurance posting, balance follow-up and reconciliation.
Three steps, with nothing to migrate and your current setup running until you are ready.
Connect the practice system you already run, your bank and QuickBooks or Xero. Nothing is migrated, and Jarvis Analytics keeps running while you set up.
During the free 30-day trial, ScoutIQ shows what it would post and reconcile from your own remittances and deposits, before anything posts. Compare it with Jarvis Analytics.
When the numbers match, turn on posting location by location. Your team handles only the exceptions, each with the reason.

ScoutIQ includes the reporting layer (every location on one set of numbers, per-provider and per-location views, alerts when something moves) and adds the billing work: insurance posting, patient billing and reconciliation. It reports and collects.
DSOs use ScoutIQ to put several PMS systems on one model, apply the same billing rules across practices, and reconcile practice, bank and books daily instead of at month end. A DSO that only needs a reporting layer, with billing handled elsewhere, may prefer a dedicated BI tool.
Atlas briefs the team every morning with ranked fill, call, chairside and recall lists, and answers scheduled questions by email. Jarvis offers a scheduler and automated huddles and end-of-day reports, which ScoutIQ does not replicate.
ScoutIQ is live in 48 hours, whether you run one location or several. The largest DSOs, with many different systems, can roll out in phases.
