How Duradiamond Software helps AB Europe digitise their artificial insemination service for sheep

 

Overview

Animal Breeding Europe (AB Europe) is a leading provider of assisted breeding and associated services for domestic animals in the UK. They offer a wide range of services, including artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer, semen collection and storage, and genetic testing.

However, AB Europe faces a challenge in managing their data efficiently and securely. They rely on manual paper documentation for all their operations, which is time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to share with their clients. They want to transition to a more streamlined digital data management system that improves their productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction.

That's why they partner with Duradiamond Software, a software development company that specialises in creating solutions for the livestock industry. Duradiamond Software has an in-house development team that is capable of building software to a high standard, using the latest technologies and best practices.

Duradiamond Software collaborates with AB Europe to support their journey into digital data management. They focus on developing a mobile and web application for AB Europe's AI service for sheep, which is one of their most popular and profitable offerings.

 

solution

Duradiamond Software develops a custom solution for AB Europe that consists of two components:

  • A mobile application on the Android platform that enables veterinarian teams to capture all relevant data during on-farm AI procedures, such as animal identification, semen batch number, date of insemination date, and pregnancy status. The data is automatically synced to the cloud in real time or when an internet connection is available.

  • A web application that handles administrative tasks, such as managing clients, bookings, invoices, reports, and analytics. The web application also provides access to the data collected by the mobile application, allowing AB Europe and their clients (via the iLivestock Platform) to view, edit, and download the information. The web application also integrates with Duradiamond Software's platform, which offers additional features such as breeding cycle management and performance tracking.

 

Results

The solution to be delivered by Duradiamond Software will have a positive impact on AB Europe's AI service for sheep. Some of the benefits include:

  • Improved data accuracy and quality. The mobile application reduces the risk of human errors and missing data by providing a standardised and user-friendly interface for data entry. The barcode scanning and photo capture features also ensure that the data is verifiable and traceable.

  • Increased efficiency and productivity. The mobile application saves time and effort for the veterinarian teams by eliminating the need for paper documentation and manual data entry. The web application also streamlines the administrative processes by automating tasks such as invoicing and reporting.

  • Enhanced customer satisfaction and loyalty. The web application improves the communication and collaboration between AB Europe and their clients by providing farmers easy access to the data collected by the mobile application via the iLivestock Platform. The clients can also benefit from the Duradiamond Software platform's features, such as breeding cycle management and performance tracking, which help them make informed decisions and optimise their results.
