Never leave the office alone - take DelPro™ Companion with you. To complement DelPro™ FarmManager as part the ultimate farm management operating platform, DelPro Companion is developed to work with you, not only displaying animal information but also supporting your working routines to record all the important events that happen throughout your day, as they happen. The result is that an insemination, pregnancy check or health treatment will never again be missed, and that you can accurately record every action, in real time, there and then. DelPro Companion puts the power to make better decisions, right into your pocket. * Animal List All your animals in one place, from here you navigate into individual animal cards, record single events like insemination, pregnancy check, health treatment or sort and filter the animals you want to work with. * Attention reports If you need a calving, dry off or insemination report; it is already in your pocket. Not only do you have access to predefined reports from DelPro FarmManager; you can now also design your own report filter there, and have the animals of the report accessible in your DelPro Companion. * Worker Mode Record the same event for a group of animals with each animal having a different result. You have multiple cows to pregnancy check; some are positive and some negative. * Batch Mode Record the same event with the same results on multiple animals at once. Add a dry off, group change and treatment in one step. * Animal protocols Design a vet visit, vaccination protocol or timed AI protocol in DelPro FarmManager, and have every day your animals presented, ready to be checked in DelPro Companion. Simply report your actions and never miss an animal again that needs to receive a treatment. For each animal in the “todays overview” tab you also find what to do with individual animals. All simple in one place. * Voice feedback and Bluetooth connected ISO reader You can connect DelPro Companion with a Bluetooth ISO tag reader; when for example, pregnancy checking animals. You will get the information you need on the animal right away, and in addition, when you have voice mode activated you also get direct audio feedback.
