Digital Strategy Update from Olivier Hiers
Get ready for a game-changer in dairy management that’s paving the way to the future! Let’s talk about UDS (URUS Dairy Suite), a revolutionary platform reshaping how we manage dairy herds, generate insights, and empower farm operations across URUS companies. UDS is powered by the VAS PULSE Platform, where countless data streams converge, offering farmers a single access point to crucial information.
Since its launch, UDS has tackled challenges head-on and emerged stronger, smarter, and more powerful. This genetics planning tool used by Alta (Alta Blue LinkTM) and GENEX (GENEX DairySuiteTM) not only enhances the capabilities of individual farms but
also strengthens the collaborative efforts within the entire URUS Family. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s the future of dairy management, designed to empower us all. Imagine a platform that integrates data in real-time, offers unmatched operational insights, and evolves with the industry – while eliminating the limits of older systems.
URUS Dairy Suite equips sales staff with precise
tools to support dairy producers in making data-driven, profitable herd management decisions. Recent upgrades improve data accuracy and trust, offering better Cull Rate calculations and customizable Mating Options to target specific females. The seamless integration with PULSE saves several hours of time for URUS staff each month. These features allow sales teams to provide tailored breeding strategies and reliable insights aligned with each customer’s operational goals.
The ability to do monthly mates easily and quickly from the comfort of my home office allows me to spend more time on farm with the farmer. The overview dashboard does a great job showing genetic progress (or lack thereof) year over year and by company to company. The best part is the data is current every day! No more relying on the ‘most recent backup.'
Enhanced tracking and forecasting tools now give sales teams a comprehensive view of herd genetics and inventory projections. Many farms are asking for access to these widgets as well. The Heifer Inventory and Future Calving widgets assist producers in managing herds by age and projecting future inventory needs. With added Sire Restrictions for multi-round matings and refined projections for milking females, sales staff can deliver actionable, strategic recommendations that drive genetic progress and sustainable herd productivity.
The future calving inventories are priceless as we can manage semen type usage and calf flow at the farm level very effectively. Every farm I meet with, this is one of the first topics they want to cover. They want to know about beef and dairy in the future months.
UDS has transformed by listening and innovating every step of the way in development. Thanks to feedback from over 200 dedicated URUS employees, we committed to rapid improvements, solved over 130 issues, and delivered 15 new features, a platform tailored to our team’s needs. Now, UDS serves over 1,100 accounts, and 6.5 million female bovines are connected.
As we look forward, UDS will continue expanding its capabilities – think embryo technologies and more innovative solutions that surpass legacy systems. We’re just getting started, and with your continued support and feedback, UDS will keep setting new standards in dairy management.
This isn’t just a platform; it’s a movement. Whether you’re on the frontline or behind the scenes, every
one of us is part of this transformation. UDS is more than a tool – it’s our shared future, building value across URUS and empowering every farmer we work with.
Let’s make it happen, team! Stay tuned and be part of the evolution.
