Our newest app, CATTLEytics, is crafted exclusively for dairy farmers seeking an efficient task management solution. This innovative app seamlessly integrates with an optional mounted kiosk that can act as your dairy’s whiteboard. This whiteboard is a visual way to see outstanding tasks for people who don’t want to be using cell phones while they work. You can also use the app as a valuable tool for visual heat detection as well as giving you an instant visual of your farm's animals and their respective locations while out in the barns. We have created this together with dairy farmers to ensure that the usability and simplicity makes sense when using a mobile app in a farming setting. Wondering why you need it? 1. Say goodbye to buried text messages. 2. Empower your staff to input tasks on the go. 3. Enable multiple team members to select tasks that align with their schedules. 4. Bid farewell to jotting down cow numbers on your handβ€”no more "Breed 2189” β€œLook at cow's foot" scrawled on your palm. There's a better way!
