Time savings through mobile herd management

Whether you’re in the field, at the office, or in the barn, agricultural operations collect important data daily that needs to be managed. Documentation efforts, especially in livestock farming, have significantly increased in recent years. AgroVision, with its mobile PigVision app, offers a cloud-based software solution that supports businesses in their daily tasks and simplifies their work. 

Mobile use in the barn – also offline 

The PigVision sow planner includes a simple smartphone app that allows a large portion of documentation to be done directly in the barn. Data can be collected even without a constant internet connection and uploaded as soon as a connection is available. There are no user limits; every employee can install and use the app without restrictions. In addition to classic single entries like farrowing or weaning, multiple animals can be registered simultaneously, and for example, covered with the same boar at once. QR codes for animal identification and barcodes for insemination stations can also be scanned with the smartphone camera and assigned to the correct boar. 

The key data – anytime and anywhere 

A common issue with extensive management programs is keeping track of key figures quickly and easily. Many reports are so detailed that finding the crucial KPIs takes time. Our portal, my.agrovision.com, provides farmers with a quick overview of their biological performance, anytime and anywhere. The so-called “interactive data analysis” enables quick responses to performance fluctuations and sharing of information with staff, veterinarians, and the production circle. 

Time savings despite the switch 

Although switching to a new program initially takes some time to adjust, the goal is to quickly achieve significant time savings. This begins with transferring existing sow planner data, which happens seamlessly in the background. The farmer sends their data backup from the old program to AgroVision and quickly receives their new sow planner with the business data. To ensure a smooth transition to the new program, AgroVision clients have access not only to a classic phone helpdesk but also to a comprehensive knowledge database that answers nearly all questions. Several clients have already reported a weekly time savings of at least half an hour within a few weeks, thanks to the simple app.
