How our journey began
CATTLEytics Incorporated, a Canadian agricultural technology firm, was founded in 2014 by Dr. Shari Van De Pol. Driven by a vision to make animal agriculture sustainable, efficient, and profitable, our journey has been shaped by our team of just nine passionate individuals.
Our story unfolds against a backdrop of increasing pressures on land usage, where urban sprawl threatens agricultural spaces in Canada and beyond. Dr. Van De Pol, uniquely qualified with a background in both computer engineering and veterinary medicine, assembled a dynamic team that merged decades of cattle industry expertise with software and hardware engineering. This fusion of knowledge empowered us to address the complex challenges facing animal agriculture.
Our efforts have yielded remarkable results. We've reduced the usage of antibiotics, enhanced feed efficiency, improved animal health, and bolstered economic outcomes. Notably, our innovations align with critical UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to "Life on Land" and "Production & Consumption."
CATTLEytics offers dairy farmers and cattle owners tools to farm smarter. We design and maintain software and data systems that enable proactive animal health management. Our hardware solutions, such as cattle thermometers and automated dosing devices, further elevate efficiency. In the near future, our dairy management software will empower farmers to manage their operations seamlessly while promoting sustainability metrics.
Our CEO, Dr. Shari Van De Pol, leverages her expertise to collaborate with major players in the agricultural technology industry. Our dedication to creating efficient systems for data collection and analysis allows farms and feedlots to make informed, timely decisions.
We're not just a company; we're a catalyst for change. Our journey includes recognition as a Coralus (formerly SheEO) venture, being named a top-five finalist for the UN SDG Awards and Dr. van de Pol being recognized as entrepreneur of the year in 2023 by Women in Communication & Technology. We're passionately committed to improving animal health, enhancing feed efficiencies, and ensuring food quality while reducing the resources needed to feed a growing global population. Our relationships with farmers and cattle owners are at the heart of our success, shaping our priorities and driving us toward a sustainable agricultural future.
