Automating Cattle Management for Cattle Breeders
Paper-based processes were making it difficult for the client to manage and maintain record-keeping for the cattle registry. It was also hard for the client to keep track of what was happening in the raches and fields.
There was a huge need for a cattle management and record-keeping solution because manual processes were slowing the processes and affecting ROI. A cattle management solution could help improve herd value and in turn the ROI.
Angus Black Book digitized cattle management for the client and the users of the application. It helped automate the processes and streamline cattle record-keeping so that it was easier to manage and track field activity.
Founded in 1883 in Chicago, Illinois, American Angus Association is one of the oldest and largest beef breed organizations in the world. It serves over 25000 members worldwide and is continuously growing by more than 300,000 cattle every year, aiming to maximize the production of premium quality beef for customers and bring consistency to beef production.
For the longest time, cattle owners and producers in the United States used physical notebooks and record-keeping journals for record-keeping. They recorded information in heaps of paper and notebooks, which made it difficult to organize and store. The cattle management faced the following challenges with manual record-keeping:
Conducted intensive discovery to understand paper-based challenges, define user roles, map workflows, and design an automated solution.
Built wireframes from user journeys, shared with client for feedback, then created a clickable prototype after approval.
Finalized designs from prototype, proceeded to development, with continuous client involvement and visibility at every stage.
Tested application in staging, conducted quality checks, provided training, and launched solution for client and their teams.

The cattle management software solution is specifically designed keeping in mind the challenges being faced because of paper-based as well as manual processes. The solution helped digitize and automate the entire process and workflow, which minimized errors and helped in compliance with regulatory authorities. The Angus Black Book solution helped cattle owners in the following ways:
From entering data into journals and carrying them every day, the ranch workers and cattle caretakers could now do away with paper and simply enter and share information with a few taps on their smart devices.
Real-time reporting and analytics meant that the management could make important decisions and assign relevant counter tasks immediately.
Increased automation and accountability led to increased productivity because every worker knew that their work was being tracked to the minute, and they also found it easier to manage work without having to manage paper.
Improved decision-making and increased productivity led to improved profitability.
