Waikato Milking, DairyHQ™

DairyHQ™ is an advanced dairy parlour management system that simplifies the lives of farmers. With DairyHQ™, farmers can seamlessly record, report, and manage their cows while interacting with draft gates, milk meters, and the milking platform. I conducted in-depth interviews and user testing with prototypes involving farmers to tailor the software to unique farm environments. This process ensures a customized and intuitive solution for their specific needs.
