Alpine grazing operations

The Sömmerung subsidy of twenty farms depends on the reports you file.

Herdy connects capacity planning, stocking requests, animal handovers, accompanying documents and the TVD reports already supported. A shared alp cockpit for corporations, cooperatives and municipalities.

Billed by invoice. No credit card, no subscription click.

The Auftrieb, in four steps.

01

Assemble the group

Record one Bestösser's animals as a group, or carry it over from last year.

02

Choose the alp

Your alp is stored as a location, with its TVD number. Set up once, there again every year.

03

Confirm

Herdy shows you what is going out before it goes out: which animals, which farm, which date.

04

Process

Departure and arrival reports go to the TVD as one batch. The confirmations come back, animal by animal.

At the Auftrieb

Committed 47 · 45 on the animal list · 2 to clarify.

Each request stays with the right consignor. Once accepted, they add the concrete animal list; Herdy highlights missing details and documents before a report is triggered.

  • Commitment and concrete animal list per consignor
  • Review ear tags and usage before handover
  • Store or officially generate accompanying documents per transport lot
  • Share only the data belonging to that stocking request
  • Accompanying document as a PDF, including the mandatory veterinary declaration
  • Uploaded and officially generated documents per transport lot
  • Trace the status of supported TVD reports per animal
  • Normalstoss and contribution forecast with its data basis shown
  • Handover dossier as CSV and PDF
Everything else that comes up

Accompanying document, reporting status, forecast.

An alp is not a farm with a herd, an alp is a season with paperwork. Herdy keeps it as a season: everything belonging to this summer stays together and is still there in October.

What Herdy cannot do for an alp today.

01

Consignors see only their own request

A consignor can reply through the guest link or, after signing in, assign the request to their Herdy farm. Only this request, its handover and documents are shared, no other alp data.

02

Goat arrivals go through the portal

The TVD has deactivated the arrival report for goats at the interface. For goats you continue to report the arrival in Agate. Everything else goes through Herdy.

03

No recording without a signal

On the alp you often have no coverage. Herdy needs a connection to record. The work this page is about, reports, accompanying documents, Abrechnung, you do where there is a signal anyway.

04

The staff change, the season stays

You grant access per person, with permissions. When the herder changes, the access changes, the alp's data stays with the alp.
