One of the most frequent questions we encounter from prospective customers is, “How is EveryPig different from other software solutions for producers?”
We understand the hesitation. Learning a new software program and working with another vendor can feel overwhelming. But here’s the reality: most producers don’t have much insight into what’s happening in 80-90% of their barns during the critical wean-to-finish stage of production and that’s a key reason wean to finish mortality rates are so high in the U.S.
In this brief article, we’ll explore the unique advantages EveryPig offers and how it can transform your approach to pig production.
Real-Time Insights for Informed Decisions
Most existing software programs for pork producers excel at providing financial and historical data, often rooted in Excel spreadsheets developed in the 1990s. While these tools are great for accountants and finance teams, they fall short when it comes to real-time decision-making on the farm.
EveryPig bridges this gap by offering real-time insights into all your pig groups. Data entered directly from caregivers, veterinarians, and field managers in the barns, enabling swift responses to potential issues. Whether it’s a drop in water consumption or early symptoms of illness, EveryPig ensures that your team has the information they need—when they need it. Veterinarians can even review images and videos in real-time to make immediate treatment decisions. In the fast-paced world of pork production, quick responses save pig lives.
Imagine having a dashboard that displays up-to-the-minute data from all your farms, alerting you to any anomalies before they become costly problems.
Comprehensive Wean-to-Finish Coverage
You’re probably familiar with programs that focus on sow units—the area of production where you have the most control. But what about the wean-to-finish stage, often the most overlooked part of your business?
At EveryPig, we recognized this gap because we come from a pork production background ourselves, having scaled a company from 30 to over 350 farms. We understand the frustration of feeling out of control, especially when it comes to managing outbreaks in nurseries, wean-to-finish barns, and finishers. Historical reports may help with analysis, but they do little to save pig lives in the moment. That’s why we started by digitizing your paper barn records, giving you real-time access to data across all your farms.
By covering the entire wean-to-finish process, EveryPig ensures you have complete visibility and control over every stage of production.
Centralized Communication Simplifies Operations
As your business grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay informed about what’s happening on the ground. Many producers rely on phone calls, voicemails, text messages, or to gather farm data. This results in fragmented communication, where critical information often slips through the cracks.
EveryPig solves this by centralizing all company communication within our platform’s Farmfeed®. No more scrambling when a team member goes on vacation—other team members can easily pick up where they left off. EveryPig ensures that all relevant information is easily accessible, so you can stay on top of every pig group, every conversation, and decision.
Centralized communication not only streamlines operations but also fosters collaboration among your team members, leading to more efficient problem-solving.
Proactive and Predictive Care with Advanced Algorithms
In the 90s, relying on Excel sheets to tell you how many pigs died last month was innovative. But in today’s fast-moving industry, clinging to outdated methods is not a winning strategy.
EveryPig is at the forefront of proactive and predictive care, leveraging millions of digital barn sheets to train algorithms that alert you when a pig group is at risk of significant loss in the next 7 days. Our technology not only saves pig lives but also protects your bottom line. By identifying risks before they escalate, you can take immediate action to mitigate losses.
Our predictive analytics transform data into actionable insights, enabling you to stay ahead of mortality events.
Case Study: Farmers Cooperative Society’s Success with EveryPig
Don’t just take our word for it. Farmers Cooperative Society, one of the largest farmer-owned cooperatives in the Midwest, implemented EveryPig to improve their swine management. Facing challenges with labor shortages and the need for efficient data collection, FCS turned to EveryPig for a solution.
By adopting EveryPig, FCS was able to digitize their daily data collection, enabling their caregivers to enter data directly into the platform. This shift not only saved time but also provided their team with instant access to critical information. The centralized communication features allowed for better coordination among staff, and the real-time insights led to quicker decision-making.
According to the FCS team, EveryPig has become an integral part of their operations, helping them manage their barns more effectively and improving overall productivity.
Dr. Huisman begins each day by using the EveryPig app to identify any clinical problems and plan his day accordingly. “I knew the app would save us time,” says Huisman, “but I didn’t realize how much it would open our eyes to every single site. I can now run through the app and see where issues are and delegate resources accordingly.”
