challenge
VES-Artex has a mission to create animal-centered environments through optimal design and engineering systems that include fans, cooling devices, lighting and more. The solution’s focus is on dairy owners, since they prioritize animal well-being, which leads to better production results. They had a platform that didn’t suit their main users as they wanted: it wasn’t flexible, and it didn’t have an organized and intuitive way to see information. They were struggling to build a better user experience with their own teams, so we partnered to make it possible.
solution
We formed a team of software engineers, designers and QA testers totally dedicated to identifying improvement opportunities. After an initial analysis step, the DairyBOS platform we decided to create was designed to appeal to everyone on the farm, from the owner who needs visibility of all buildings to the workers performing daily tasks. It includes different levels of users who can access different things: a macro view of the farm, data from specific pens, quantity of animals, breeds and more. The app is a mobile-first solution powered by data. Our goal was to impact barns’ productivity levels, while overall expenses and maintenance costs decrease. Additionally, the process involved developing integrations with third-party providers to be able to offer users more possibilities.
results
With the launch of DairyBOS, users can be more aware of the barn conditions and maintain intelligent control of air, light and temperature from a single interface. They also have access to improved data sources and enjoy better usability. Integrations with Riptide and Phason were included to lift data consumption processes and automate the initial setup of new buildings. Among the features we implemented there are new functionalities for easier searching and marking reports as favorites. Also, users can now identify each cow’s status with the animal ID and/or name. We also added a flow for identifying and replacing supervisors, which are physical devices used in the barns to connect with the different VES systems and generate metrics. More recently, users of the paid app can also enjoy features like energy and water saving modes that allow them to reduce waste while keeping an optimal environment for the cows.
