What it does

Livestock Management & Tracking

Most livestock operations here know their herd size and almost nothing else with confidence — not the cost of raising a particular animal, not which cows are quietly losing money, not which bull's offspring actually perform. The records exist, in notebooks and in one person's memory. Putting them in a system is what turns a herd into a business you can make decisions about.

Breeding: heat detection, service records, pregnancy diagnosis and calving
Sire and dam pedigree with offspring performance
Weight recording and average daily gain per animal
Feed and input costing allocated down to the animal or group
Mortality, culling and loss reporting with causes
Sales, purchases and per-animal profitability
Movement permit and traceability records for sale and transport
Works offline on a phone in the field and syncs when back in coverage

Tanzania

Built for how livestock works here

Offline first — Ranches and grazing areas do not have reliable data coverage. The field app records on the phone and syncs when it reaches signal, rather than requiring a connection at the crush.
Traceability and permits — Movement records are kept in a form that supports livestock movement permits and buyer traceability requirements, which matters increasingly for formal and export buyers.
Tagging that survives — We advise on tag types that survive Tanzanian conditions and handling, and support mixed tagging where a herd is part-tagged during rollout rather than requiring a full re-tag on day one.
Language — Field screens can be provided in Swahili for herdsmen and stockmen, with management reporting in English.
Vet and drug records — Treatment and withdrawal tracking is designed so milk or meat is not sold inside a withdrawal period by accident.

How we work

Scoped first, built in phases

We look at the process

Not a sales meeting. We sit with the people who do the work now and find where the time and money actually go.

You get a written scope

What will be built, what it costs, how long it takes, and what is explicitly out of scope. In writing, before anything starts.

Built in phases

The part that hurts most is delivered first and put into real use, so value arrives before the whole project is finished.

Trained and supported

Your staff are trained on the real system with real data, and support continues after go-live.

Start with identification, not with everything. The usual first phase is registry plus tagging plus health records. Breeding, weights and costing are added once the herd is reliably identified, because every other number depends on knowing which animal it belongs to.

Frequently asked

Livestock Management & Tracking — questions we get

Do we have to tag the whole herd before starting?

No. We roll out by group, and the system handles animals that are registered but not yet tagged. Requiring a complete re-tag before any benefit is the reason these projects usually stall.

Will it work where there is no network?

Yes. The field application is offline-first — records are captured on the phone and synchronised when it next has coverage.

Can it track animals by GPS?

Yes, with GPS collars, including geofence alerts when animals leave a defined area. Collars are typically used on a sample of the herd or on high-value animals rather than every head.

Can it tell us which animals are unprofitable?

That is the point of the costing module. Feed, treatment and input costs are allocated to animals or groups and compared against milk, weight gain or sale value.

Does it handle dairy as well?

Dairy-specific milk recording is covered in the dairy system, which shares the same animal registry. Many clients run both.
