Farmeron offers a cloud-based SaaS platform to manage the complex production and herd data of dairy farms, positioned as an alternative to spreadsheets and legacy on-premise systems. The product targets dairy operations that need to manage between about 50 and 5,000 cows. The company says the new funding will be used to pursue enterprise sales. Farmeron competes with established herd/animal data management solutions such as DairyComp305 and DHI‑Provo. The article notes larger on-premise ERP vendors like Infor, SAP and Oracle are beginning to take interest in livestock software but have not developed SaaS offerings for the space. Financially, Farmeron closed a $1.4M seed round in 2012 and has just raised additional capital in the newest round. Farmeron is a livestock production SaaS platform that brings modern analytics and data integration to dairy and livestock farms. The product automates production metrics and farm records to reduce manual record‑keeping and reveal hidden insights from farm data. It launched in November 2011 and has expanded to 450 farms across 14 countries within five months. Farmeron plans to extend beyond livestock production into other agricultural areas and to integrate diverse farm data sources. The company moved from Croatia to London via Seedcamp and then to Silicon Valley while its development team remains in Osijek, Croatia. It has a distribution partnership with Germany-based Neelsen Agrar GmbH and recently raised capital to hire management and expand sales and support in the U.S. and Europe.
