Every Feature, One Platform
Everything below ships today and runs daily on a working 3,600-cow dairy. Jump to a module:
Operations Dashboard
A live command center fed by your parlor meters, creamery pickups, DairyComp events, and feed software — every number on the same production-day basis, guarded by automated data checks.
- Today screen: milk/cow, ECM, components, SCC, and feed cost tiles with goals and 7-day trends
- Live bulk-tank estimate with next-pickup projection and self-serve calibration
- Parlor dashboard: hourly distribution, production and throughput by shift
- 2-minute letdown scoreboard for milker prep-routine coaching, by shift and rotation
- High-conductivity alerts flagging potential mastitis from the meters
- Breeding analysis slicer: conception by sire, technician, breed, DIM, month, and breeding type
- Preg-rate scoreboard: 6-cycle PR, service rate, and CR-120d against your goal
- Calving & dry-off forward calendar with downloadable per-animal worklists
- Cow health: mastitis, lameness, metritis, and death rate vs industry benchmarks
- Disease explorer by lactation and DIM stage, with collar-alert conversion tracking
- Calf health: passive transfer, DCHA-benchmarked mortality, and cohort morbidity
- Feed: per-pen intake vs ration targets, ingredient usage and cost, delivery accuracy
- GPS feed-push verification: push tracks, intervals, and per-push stats on a map
- Dollarized economics: income over feed cost per cow, feed $/cwt ECM
- Year-over-year production metrics: ~18 monthly trend charts in one scroll
- Weekly consultant PDF, daily email report, and printable RePRO, death-loss, and production reports
- 20 automated data-integrity and milk-quality checks, including aflatoxin and SCC watches
- Per-user chart preferences, read-only viewer logins, and TV-kiosk tokens for the parlor wall
AI Agent & Morning Briefings
An assistant that knows your herd because it reads your data — not a chatbot with a dairy vocabulary.
- Ask about herd, reproduction, health, or feed in plain English — or Spanish
- Charts drawn inline, right in the conversation
- A morning briefing written by the AI and emailed daily, linked to a chat seeded with context
- Role-aware answers: each person's agent sees only what their role allows
- Conversation history you can resume any time
Compliance & Audit Readiness
Protocols, evidence, and audit readiness in one place — so FARM visits are a formality, not a fire drill.
- Rich SOP editor with bilingual English/Spanish bodies and machine-translate plus human review
- Version history with redline diffs; approvals release numbered major versions
- A compiled farm manual: cover, table of contents, every approved protocol in print order
- Evidence vault: licenses, certificates, lab results — hashed, versioned, expiry-tracked
- Live readiness scoring per standard: FARM v5, Validus, partner and custom requirement sets
- Renewals radar: everything expiring across documents, evidence, training, and hauler credentials
- Recurring inspections with cadence tracking; failed items become corrective actions
- E-signatures throughout, and an append-only audit log on every change
Workforce, Time & People
From the barn tablet to the payroll file: one path for punches, approvals, PTO, and people records.
- Barn kiosks with PIN login — or face-recognition login with no PIN at all
- Employee self-service in English and Spanish side by side: punches, time-off, pay stubs
- Live attendance, missed-punch workflows, and day-level approval that locks payroll hours
- Shift-pay engine: grace minutes and short-shift rules convert punches to paid hours, originals preserved
- Rotating shift schedules with a wall-TV view
- PTO as a ledger: accrual policies, tenure bumps, carryover caps — balances always add up
- Employee files: job history, compensation, documents, certifications, onboarding checklists
- Payroll-ready CSV exports and two-way BambooHR sync
- Labor budget vs actual hours per pay period
Gate & Biosecurity
Everyone who steps on the dairy — logged, signed, and credentialed, without anyone manning a gate.
- Visitor self-check-in from a QR code: biosecurity acknowledgment and signature, no account needed
- SMS alerts the moment a visitor or hauler checks in
- Hauler registry with a credential engine: signed Cow Care agreement plus unexpired BQAT card
- Animal-welfare hotline: calls and texts recorded and routed, with a printable bilingual poster
- Group training events: put a QR on the TV, the crew scans in, attendance logs itself
Inventory & Fleet
Medicine, feed, and machines — counted, ordered, and serviced with a scanner instead of a clipboard.
- Ledger-driven on-hand quantities for medicine and feed items
- Zebra handheld scanning: receive, issue, count, and requisition at the shelf
- Order board merges scanned requests with low-stock suggestions — one click per vendor drafts a PO
- Spreadsheet-style purchase-order builder with case and pallet packaging
- AI invoice import: upload a vendor invoice, lines extract and match to your catalog without duplicates
- Fleet registry with full service history per machine
- Mechanic QR on every machine: phone-first service logging, no login required
Genetics & Embryos
Purpose-built for serious ET and IVF programs — from the flush to the transfer to the check.
- Embryo inventory to the tank, canister, and cane, with printable count sheets
- Donor and sire management, grades, lineage, and sire-contract expiration tracking
- Transfer workflow validated against collar heats, with scanned ET report matching
- True-conception analytics with preg-check cutoff logic and breed filters
- Semex spreadsheet import and shipment tracking
- Cow cards with the full event stream: fresh, bred, health, and moves
Partner Portal — Creameries, Vets & Consultants
Field reps and advisors get their own portal across every dairy they serve.
- Client portfolio with each dairy's audit readiness percentage at a glance
- Per-standard readiness detail — gaps surface before the auditor arrives
- Master SOP template libraries, cloned and assigned to producers in bulk
- Named required-document sets applied to whole cohorts in one action
- Approval queue with redlines of what changed since the last approved version
Platform & Security
The unglamorous parts, done properly.
- One login across every HerdOptix app, with an app switcher
- Per-module roles — Admin, Staff, Viewer — enforced in the database, not just the interface
- No role means the module is hidden entirely
- Spanish and English throughout, chosen per person
- Every no-login surface (kiosks, gate pages, wall TVs) runs on revocable tokens
- Append-only audit log of every change, and soft deletes only
