### Learn more about Nedap's herd monitoring solutions!

Nedap offers two herd monitoring solutions: an on-premise solution, [Nedap — on-premise](https://www.nedap.com/cowcontrol), and a cloud solution, [Nedap — cloud](https://www.nedap.com/now). While both products offer the same accurate, reliable herd insights, Nedap — cloud has the processing power and scalability of cloud computing.
