Understanding the Challenge

Paper-Based Systems Causing Complications & Delays

Owners of swine farms were using manual, paper-based systems and hence, they were facing utmost delays and difficulties in managing swine health and all related healthcare procedures.

  • They found it difficult to manage and store paper-based documentation.
  • A manual system also made daily operations difficult and time-consuming.
  • It was hard to manage procedures and activities such as disease management, medication management, and stock mortality issues.
  • The farm owners found it hard to track the productivity of workers in the pig farms and ranches and didn’t have visibility of what was happening.
  • Reports would always take time, since the swine farm management had to wait for the workers to return from the fields to submit any findings.
