System Integration

Your systems do not talk. We introduce them. We connect the herd software, processor files, field records, machinery software and accounts package that currently need a person to move information manually.

Keep existing systems where they work

Farms across Dumfries and Galloway have years of records in herd software, milk-recording systems, field and cropping programs and accounts packages. Digital transformation does not have to mean replacing any of it. Your staff already understand the existing software, your historical records live inside it, and it may do its core job perfectly well. The problem is usually getting information into or out of it.

File-based integration is still integration

Not every useful workflow needs an API, and plenty of agricultural software has none. If Program A creates a predictable file and Program B accepts another predictable format, a reliable file-based workflow is valuable: daily export, validate, transform, import, log.

ScotEID, the mart and the processor

Movement records, mart returns and processor submissions all want the same animals described slightly differently. We match identifiers between systems and flag what does not match before anything is submitted.

Typical jobs we automate

  • Read exports from your existing software
  • Transform data automatically and create compatible import files
  • Match identifiers between systems and flag what does not match
  • Synchronise information between desktop software and web portals
  • File-based integration where no modern interface exists

What changes for you

No forced replacement

Keep the programs you know; we work in the gaps between them.

Longer life for legacy software

If it can export or import structured files, an integration layer can extend its useful life.

One version of the truth

Two datasets that should agree are reconciled automatically.
