Challenge

A national dairy industry organization faced an urgent need to comply with new EU regulations requiring milk to come only from healthy cows. While the law mandated compliance, it did not outline a standardized method, leaving farmers and food producers without a clear approach. With the deadline fast approaching, the organization sought a process control tool that could be used in the field by veterinarians, ensure real-time monitoring, and integrate with existing industry platforms to support compliance and traceability.

Solution

Appnovation leveraged its nearshore development teams to design and implement a digital assessment and reporting tool that seamlessly integrates with existing dairy industry systems. Developed in collaboration with veterinarians, dairy companies, and key stakeholders, the tool enables structured compliance assessments, ensuring farmers can effectively identify and manage sick cows. The system generates digital reports, signed by veterinarians, that are instantly shared with farmers, producers, and regulatory bodies, improving verification speed and data integrity. To enhance usability and efficiency, the solution was integrated into a unified monitoring platform, combining industry tools to support compliance, traceability, and real-time reporting.

Impact

The implementation of this digital solution has significantly strengthened compliance with EU Hygiene Regulation 853, reinforcing high-quality dairy production standards. The use of nearshore teams enabled a fast and cost-effective rollout, ensuring seamless collaboration and technical execution.
