Software for Sahiwal's Dairy and Livestock Farms
Sahiwal gave its name to a famous cattle breed, and its farms still live on milk and animals. We build herd and milk records that show which animals earn their feed.
The trade, and what it needs from software
The Sahiwal cattle breed takes its name from this part of central Punjab, long valued for milk in hot conditions, and the district remains a dairy and livestock area. Farms here range from a few animals kept by a household to larger commercial herds. Milk goes to village collectors, to processing companies and to customers in nearby towns, while surplus animals are sold through cattle markets.
For most owners the herd is managed from memory and a notebook. Yield per animal, insemination dates, vaccine reminders and what each batch of feed cost are rarely joined up. DevKey Technologies builds software remotely from Islamabad to give a Sahiwal farm a practical record that works in the shed and shows the owner where money is made or lost.
How the work flows in Sahiwal
Milking and collection rounds
Animals are milked morning and evening, and milk is measured, cooled and handed to a collector or processor. Fat content and freshness can affect the rate paid.
Breeding, calving and replacement
Owners decide which animals to breed, when to dry them off and which calves to keep. These choices shape the next several years of income.
Cattle market sales
Animals are bought and sold at weekly markets, with prices negotiated face to face and settled mostly in cash, so there is rarely paperwork on lineage or health.
Where things go wrong today
Unknown value of each animal
The farm cannot say which animal gives more milk than her feed costs, so poor performers stay and good ones are sold at an average price.
Breeding and vaccine dates forgotten
Missed heat cycles and late vaccinations quietly erode output, and the cause is only discovered when yields drop.
Milk suppliers and customers on credit
Farms that buy milk from smaller neighbours or sell on credit to households track balances in scribbled notes, producing frequent disputes.
Weak proof of animal history
A buyer who wants a good dairy animal has little more than the seller's word about yield and health, which holds back fair prices for well-kept animals.
Software that fixes it
Animal-by-animal herd management
Dairy farm management software gives every animal a record of milk, breeding, treatments and feed, with alerts for upcoming events so staff are not relying on memory.
Dairy Farm Management Software DevelopmentMilk supplier and customer accounts
Accounting software handles milk bought from small suppliers and sold on credit, with daily quantities, rates and running balances that both sides can see.
Accounting Software DevelopmentEntry on a phone in the shed
An agriculture mobile app lets workers record milk and treatments immediately, using large buttons and local-language labels, instead of trusting the evening to remember.
Agriculture App DevelopmentDashboards for the farm owner
Business intelligence dashboards combine yield, feed and sales into a plain overview, so the owner can judge each month rather than guess.
Business Intelligence Dashboard DevelopmentCommon questions, answered
Do we need a computer on the farm?
No. A basic smartphone is enough for daily entries, and the owner can review reports on the same phone or on any computer.
Can the records help when we sell an animal?
Yes. A printed or shared history of milk yield, vaccinations and breeding gives a buyer concrete evidence, which supports a fairer price for a well-kept animal.
Can this handle several farms or sheds?
It can. Each location keeps its own herd and records, while the owner sees a combined view of all of them.
Is your team based in Sahiwal?
No. We work from Islamabad, setting up and supporting farms remotely, and visit when a project calls for being on site.
