The VAS Platform can be used as an APP installed on a mobile device or from a browser on any device.

The VAS Platform app and on a web browser both have specific functionality.  The APP is used for work on the dairy, while the browser is for management and analysis.  The VAS Platform is included in your yearly subscription, however you must contact Platform Support to enroll and start accessing your data. With the functionality of the VAS Platform always growing, here is a summary of the current functionality of each.APPThe VAS Platform APP is primarily used for work on the dairy; look up cow information, work lists and cowside events with scanning or manual entry of cow ID. When deciding whether a function belongs on the mobile app, there are two main criteria;  Do you need to be able to use it offline?  Does it require a scanner?  If either of these are yes, we will develop it for the APP.   The VAS Platform APP can be used on or offline and has the ability to work with a paired bluetooth device to make scanning and working with animals even easier. Some of the current functions of the APP:

• View a cow record
