Over 20 years experience…
An Australian Ag-Tech that creates information systems for improving the productivity of sustainable agriculture. Our clients make better decisions using individual animal management and information from across the supply chain.
Rob and Clare Wyld co‑founded Sapien Technology with a shared passion for the livestock industry and a commitment to creating practical, producer‑driven tools.
Rob grew up on a cattle and sheep property in Victoria before studying Engineering at Melbourne University and spending several years overseas. Returning to Australia in 2001 and back to the farm, he began developing software to make better use of emerging EID technology. The power of individual animal data quickly became clear, and as interest from other producers grew, Sapien Technology was formed. In the early years, Rob worked hands‑on across the livestock supply chain, troubleshooting adoption challenges and helping shape the tools alongside early‑adopting producers.
As co‑founder, director, and operations manager, Clare has been instrumental in defining Sapien’s vision and values. Witha deep understanding of the livestock sector, she ensures the voice of the customer remains central, helping build strong relationships and trust across the industry.
A family‑owned company with a genuine passion for the industry, Sapien is focused on developing true partnerships with the organisations it works with. Helping clients achieve meaningful improvements in their operations and contributing to progress across the industry as a whole.
