Livestock monitoring platform with IoT sensors and cloud analytics
CowManager operates a herd-management platform built on .NET, Azure, and SQL Server, now adopting Salesforce and Odoo alongside active work on system implementations and hardware rollouts. The engineering-led hiring surge (13 open roles) paired with concurrent backend scaling challenges—distributed systems, system performance, scalable solutions—suggests the company is moving from single-farm deployments toward multi-tenant cloud infrastructure. Founded on physical sensor hardware (ear tags), the product is evolving into a data and integration layer.

CowManager develops a monitoring and management system for dairy and livestock operations, combining IoT sensors with cloud-based analytics and alerting. The platform operates across herd health, compliance tracking, and operational optimization—originally built around proprietary ear-tag sensors. The company serves farms ranging from small operations to herds exceeding 20,000 animals. Current operational focus spans hardware installations, system integrations with farm-management software (AFAS, Odoo, Salesforce), and training delivery to end users. Active expansion into new geographies (UK, US, Germany hiring) and production scaling are underway.
