Understanding the Challenge

Manual Cattle Counting Causing Delays

Manual cattle counting across vast pastures and infrequent counts highlighted the need for a transformative solution. They faced the following challenges:

  • Limited Frequency: The biannual manual counting process resulted in information gaps and hindered swift decision-making.
  • Limited Reporting: Inadequate reporting capabilities posed challenges in making data-driven strategic decisions.
  • Time-Intensive Process: Mobilizing teams of workers to conduct manual headcounts demanded significant resources and effort.
  • Accuracy Imperative: Accurate counting was paramount for informed decision-making in areas such as herd health assessment, resource allocation, and breeding programs.
