Herdwatch is a cloud-based “Mobile CRM for Cows”, it is our vision for the future of global agriculture: a disruptive, innovative mobile technology bringing traditional farming into the “Mobile Revolution”.
Despite the popular urban perception, farmers are a very computer-literate and technically strong group of people. It makes perfect sense for them to adopt mobile technology to improve their lifestyle and make them more efficient. Herdwatch can literally save farmers hours of paperwork every week by allowing them to record farm and animal events directly via a smartphone app, tablet app or PC software package, anytime, anywhere.
Herdwatch is the first cross-platform mobile solution fully approved by the Department of Agriculture, and it gives farmers both mobility and peace of mind when it comes to recording legally required information, such as calf births or animal remedies. It can work offline, but being cloud-based means the farmer’s data can be easily managed from multiple devices.
Is mobility the future of Farming?
Farmers have been "mobile" forever, but the difference is that today farmers have access to mobile technology which has the potential to bring the office into the fields! It's hard to believe that less than 10 years ago, there was no such thing as a smartphone, and now most people carry one in their pocket, often not realising it is a mini computer with potential to change life as they know it.
How did Herdwatch come about?
3 years ago, we discovered a statistic that shocked us: 93% of farmers did not use any form of computerised herd management system. We researched the reasons why this was the case, and built the solution that farmers wanted, at a price point that made sense to them. We made it truly mobile, easy to use, and value for money, the 3 things farmers told us they wanted.
Functionality and mobility are key, so we built a solid cloud-based infrastructure, an iPhone/iPad App, Android App and a software package which can also run on laptops and computers. These have been fully approved by the Department of Agriculture, so farmers can be confident that Herdwatch has reached the standard they expect and require. We are especially delighted to have been "Approved by Farmers", with almost 300 signed up in just 4 months, and excellent feedback being constantly received by the team.
