Are you seeking the perfect combination of established company security, start-up freedom and making a real difference to global challenges?

We are a founder-run software company with a market leading product that’s been around for over a decade. We help mobile, rural vets save time and make the best decisions possible for the animals under their care so that farmers can efficiently produce safe, affordable food. We significantly impact the responsible use of antibiotics and reductions in energy use, water use and greenhouse gas production on farms. Since 2018 we’ve been owned by Vetoquinol - a multinational company who recognise us as highly strategic for their exciting transformation to solution provider instead of pharmaceutical product company.
