PigFlow does capture information, but that information is meant to be used and passed through, not just stored. Its primary purpose is to help your team stay engaged, follow organized workflows, and focus on what should be done next to deliver the best care and the best outcomes.
Rather than simply helping you review what happened yesterday, PigFlow helps prioritize action today. It guides employees toward the right tasks at the right time, improving communication, consistency, and care execution across the farm.
PigFlow is designed to work alongside a wide range of record-keeping systems, including PigKnows, Porcitec, MetaFarms, and PigChamp. Information captured in PigFlow can be efficiently transferred into your existing records platform, helping keep your system current without adding extra work for your team.
That transfer process is typically fast, often taking just 10 to 15 minutes depending on the records software being used. The records system then validates the entries and flags any that pass or fail, helping reduce errors and simplify review. For MetaFarms users, PigFlow also offers an API connection that drops data nightly, providing another seamless way to keep records up to date.
Please note that download times may vary depending on the size of the data retrieval. Typically, this process takes only seconds to a few minutes to complete.
Yes, PigFlow enhances the trust in data accuracy. In traditional data collection methods, it’s often unclear who entered the data, and there are risks of transcription errors, data falsification, or mistakes due to lack of validation processes. However, PigFlow allows each team member to take ownership of the data they enter and ensures that it passes through validations. PigFlow keeps a history of the data and who entered it to ensure that people are accountable, resulting in faster, more accurate data entry, and enabling teams to operate with LIVE data.

PigFlow onboarding is designed to help your team get comfortable quickly and start seeing value right away. We begin with a pre-onboarding call with the farm and provide introductory online learning materials for department heads and the farm manager to help everyone prepare for launch.
From there, our Customer Success team comes on-site to train the entire team. We spend two full days on-site making sure employees are comfortable using the app, understand how to enter information, and are set up for success. By the second day, teams are typically already beginning to see value in the platform.

After onboarding, each farm has a dedicated Customer Success Manager to help guide adoption and answer questions. In addition, your team benefits from the broader SwineTech Customer Success network, so support is readily available whenever it is needed.
“We never feel like we are on our own. The support has been consistent, responsive, and focused on helping our farm be successful.”
We also continue follow-up after launch through structured touchpoints at two weeks, 30 days, and 60 days. These check-ins help move the farm from adaptation to implementation and then to optimization, so the team continues building confidence and getting more value from PigFlow over time.
Our goal is not just to train your team, but to help them successfully adopt PigFlow in day-to-day work. That is why we combine pre-onboarding preparation, on-site training, dedicated support, and follow-up touchpoints after launch. This is part of the PigFlow Optimization Program, designed to help your team continue gaining new value over time rather than becoming stagnant. This approach helps ensure the farm is supported through every stage of the process and positioned to get the most value from PigFlow.
