PowerBI Dashboard

Why DataLab

Built Specifically for Pork Producers

We understand sow farms, GDUs, finishing flows, and production metrics so you can focus on your business while we handle the analytics. DataLab gives you insights that standard dashboards are not designed to answer. Use PigFlow as your foundation then blend in more insights. 

With DataLab your dashboards start from industry expertise rather than generic templates. You get custom dashboards built for your unique questions, automated data connections and refreshes, professional modeling and visualization, and ongoing support and updates. 

Financial & cost data

Integrate your accounting records, expense tracking, and production costs with PigFlow metrics to calculate true cost per pig, evaluate profitability by site or phase, and model scenarios for cost-saving decisions.

Feed & nutrition records

Combine feed formulation details, delivery logs, and consumption data with PigFlow performance indicators to analyze feed conversion efficiency, identify nutritional impacts on growth rates, and optimize rations across barns or seasons.

Market information

Overlay real-time or historical market prices, futures data, and packer grids onto your production and financial metrics to forecast revenue, assess hedging opportunities, and make informed marketing or timing decisions for shipments.

Labor & HR data

Link employee schedules, task completion rates, and workforce metrics with PigFlow activity logs to evaluate labor efficiency, correlate staffing levels with productivity outcomes, and pinpoint training needs that drive better pig care and operational results.

Environmental & facility metrics

Merge sensor data on temperature, humidity, ventilation, ammonia levels, or energy usage with PigFlow health and performance records to uncover correlations between barn conditions and pig outcomes, supporting sustainability goals and facility improvements.

Health & mortality trends

Aggregate veterinary records, treatment logs, diagnostic results, and mortality events with PigFlow production data to spot patterns, benchmark trends across sites or flows, and quantify the financial and performance impacts of health challenges for proactive management.

DataLab Features & Benefits

DataLab delivers custom dashboards for deeper decision-making

Turn questions into clarity with insights from DataLab.

Cost per Pig and Margin Analysis

Create personalized views that blend PigFlow performance data with integrated financials to calculate precise cost per pig at every stage.

Wean-to-Finish Profitability

Visualize end-to-end profitability from weaning through market by combining nursery and finishing metrics with feed costs, mortality rates, and carcass value data, helping identify high-performing flows, pinpoint cost leaks, and optimize decisions that boost net returns per pig placed.

Labor Efficiency & Staffing Needs

Build dashboards correlating labor hours, task logs, and employee data with PigFlow production outcomes to measure efficiency per pig or per phase, forecast optimal staffing levels, highlight bottlenecks, and support better workforce planning that improves throughput without added overhead.

Benchmarking Across Farms & Divisions

Compare key performance indicators side-by-side across multiple sites, divisions, or historical periods using standardized dashboards, revealing top performers, consistent underperformers, and best-practice opportunities to elevate overall system performance and drive continuous improvement.

Health & Treatment Trends Over Time

Track health patterns, treatment efficacy, and mortality events overlaid on production and environmental data to spot emerging issues early, evaluate protocol effectiveness, quantify economic impacts of disease challenges, and guide proactive health strategies for sustained herd performance.

Farrowing, Breeding, or Finishing Correlations

Uncover powerful relationships between farrowing success, breeding metrics, and finishing outcomes through custom visualizations, enabling targeted improvements in management practices that cascade benefits across the entire production chain.
