"There is no more rooting through pieces of paper or looking at excel sheets. It’s all there in the one app – that’s the beauty of Herdwatch."
"Before Herdwatch, I had to record everything manually… being able to record everything on your smartphone as you go about your daily duties has greatly improved the paperwork side of things for us."
"You don’t feel a cross compliance inspection or Quality Assurance audit creeping up on you. The fact that all the information can be retrieved in seconds, and all I need to do is print off a few reports at audit time, takes all the stress of the inspection away."
