Moo to Do streamlines on-farm tasks for staff

Improving workflow for employees is the focus of a new product from agriculture technology company CATTLEytics.

The Moo to Do system is a staff scheduling module for dairy operations.

The system is meant to streamline on-farm tasks like scheduling and management. Built-in software provides data-driven insights to help the efficiency of dairy operations.

“Often when you have a dairy farm and you have people that are working there, there can be complications when you’re trying to schedule shifts or, for instance, when you’re trying to keep track of all the things that need to be done during the day,” said CATTLEytics CEO Dr. Shari Van de Pol.

In many operations, scheduling is limited to employees taking photos of a wall calendar.

“They’re using technology, but are they using it the most effective way? Probably not.”

Van de Pol said the module can improve the work and overall experience of employees who want to do a good job but don’t always know what tasks need to be done and in what order. She said eliminating that task-searching time could significantly reduce costs.

Shari Van de Pol talks about the management software options offered by CATTLElytics at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in the video below:
