The Problem Optiherd V2 Solves

Dairy consultants face significant challenges managing multiple client farms:

Software fragmentation: Different clients use different herd management systems with incompatible data formats

Data collection burden: Manual data gathering wastes valuable consultation time that should be spent advising

No unified view: Toggling between multiple systems makes cross-farm comparison impossible

Missed opportunities: Without aggregated data, consultants can't identify which farms need immediate attention

Limited historical context: Advisors lack quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year trend data for meaningful discussions

Report generation overhead: Creating professional client reports requires manual data compilation

Optiherd V2 centralizes all client farm data into one powerful dashboard, transforming consultants from data collectors into data-driven advisors.
