02 / The challenge
The challenge
In the field, inventory has a particular unit of attention: each animal. Recording cattle calls for a way to identify them and keep that information available within the operation. The task involves individual animals, rather than only a total head count.
Connectivity is part of that working context. A tool designed for field use needs to account for a signal that may vary during the day. The software challenge is to support recording without making every step depend on a continuous connection.
CuentaVaca, the Rimoly South project, brings those two needs together: cattle inventory and RFID traceability with an offline-first approach. The system connects individual records with the conditions of field work.
03 / What we built
What we built
We built CuentaVaca as a cattle inventory and traceability platform. The system brings together RFID through a physical reader and manual entry: two ways of entering information within the same working context.
Manual entry offers an alternative to the reader. The development centers on recording cattle and the available ways to do that work, with an interface focused on the field task itself.
The platform is designed for an offline-first workflow: recording without a signal and synchronization when the connection returns. That design approach accounts for the variable connectivity associated with field work.
The system also includes CSV export and backups. Together, these capabilities connect identification, recording, and information availability in a project built around cattle inventory, animal by animal.
