Running cattle operations in the field often means working fast, sometimes in less-than-ideal conditions. Manually entering tag numbers or double-checking animal IDs slows things down and increases the risk of errors.

With this release, Cattlytics introduces Bluetooth EID Reader Integration on mobile, making animal identification faster, more accurate, and seamlessly connected to your records. By pairing your Bluetooth EID reader directly with the Cattlytics mobile app, you can scan animals instantly and keep your data in sync without extra steps.

What’s New in This Release

Bluetooth EID Reader Integration

You can now pair your Bluetooth EID reader directly with the Cattlytics mobile app to capture EID tag numbers instantly. This removes the need for manual entry when adding animals and ensures faster, more accurate data collection right from the field. Once connected, scanned tag numbers sync instantly with your animal records, helping you maintain clean, reliable data across your operation.

Add Animals via Bluetooth EID Reader

Adding animals is now quicker and more efficient. Simply scan the EID tag using your Bluetooth reader while creating a new animal record. The tag number is captured automatically, reducing setup time and minimizing the risk of entry errors. This is especially useful during onboarding, large herd additions, or when working through animals quickly in pens or yards.

Scan Animals Before Any Activity

Before performing any activity, you can scan an animal’s EID tag to instantly pull up its record. This ensures you’re always working with the correct animal and the most up-to-date information. Whether you’re logging health treatments, movements, or other activities, scanning first helps maintain accuracy and keeps records consistent in real time.

Faster EID Scanning Experience

This release improves overall EID scanning speed, allowing you to capture readings faster and more reliably. Improved performance means fewer missed scans, smoother workflows, and greater confidence when working at pace in the field.

Why This Update Matters for Cattle Operations

Accurate animal identification is the foundation of reliable herd data. This update removes friction from one of the most common field tasks, helping teams work faster without sacrificing accuracy.

With Bluetooth EID integration:

  • Animal records are captured faster with fewer errors
  • Field teams can identify animals instantly before any activity
