Record Keeping
While PigFlow does capture and store essential data points throughout the reproductive process, it is fundamentally different from traditional record-keeping software. PigFlow is a workforce management and pig care platform designed to guide on-farm employees, prioritize tasks, and enhance communication during the workday. Rather than providing historical analysis, it delivers real-time, actionable insights to improve daily operations and pig care.
Additionally, PigFlow is record-keeping agnostic, meaning it can work well with most other record-keeping programs. This allows PigFlow to focus on the tactical execution of the farm’s strategy, ensuring that every action taken on the farm aligns with the overall strategic goals. In this way, PigFlow helps to bridge the gap between strategy and tactics, ensuring that you’re not just “winning battles,” but also “winning the war.”
PigFlow has been designed to be compatible with a range of record-keeping solutions, including PigKnows, Porcitec, MetaFarms, and PigChamp, among others. This means that data from PigFlow can be easily and efficiently transferred into your existing record-keeping system.
This data transfer process is typically quick, generally taking between 10-15 minutes, depending on the specific record software you use. The records system will then validate the entries, highlighting any that pass or fail, which simplifies the process and reduces the likelihood of errors or discrepancies. This integration ensures that your record-keeping system remains updated and accurate, benefiting from the real-time, actionable data provided by PigFlow.
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.
