koolcollect is an automated data collection system that captures information and logs it against individual animal IDs. Capturing the data via an RFID reader is simple, and koolcollect interfaces with the NLIS via superkool to meet mandatory compliance requirements. But in addition to NLIS-related data, koolcollect can log weights, birth details, status, treatments, mobs, movements and comments about every individual animal, in very specific detail. Drafting by a chosen trait or category is quick and easy. RFID Readers and electronic scales aid in the collection of information and koolcollect marries the data together to provide a more useful, intelligent, valuable system. koolcollect enables an enterprise to make quality decisions about the future of their herd, based on considered analysis of the facts available.

koolcollect offers enormous advantages to those in the livestock industry. Individual animal management becomes possible - koolcollect takes a herd and makes it a group of individuals that can be managed accordingly. The corresponding reporting possibilities offered by superkool are extensive and can be customised to suit the needs of the enterprise. Increased productivity and a competitive advantage are logical consequences. koolcollect has been built from the ground up with RFID and the NLIS in mind – it has not been adapted from previously existing software – so it absolutely fulfils the standard compliance requirements re animal movements and NLIS, yet it goes way beyond the mandatory to be the ideal data collection system for your herd .

koolcollect is software that makes the NLIS work for you.
