Control Ganadero - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

No! Because when I started in 2012 and very few had experience coding in this field in Colombia.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

Finding people who knew about the subject at the beginning and then all the people who don't look good on you and deceive you, that took me a lot of time and money.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

WhatsApp is the one I use the most. I use it for my work and social media, and also on my trips.

How long have you been working on this app?

I had the idea in 2009. I did some tests creating a special device and I started seriously with the Livestock Control App in 2012.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Supply the need to provide farmers with a technological tool that allows them to easily digitize their information and get useful statistics.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

First it was the novelty since we were pioneers in apps for livestock and second, its easy use and that it works both on and off line.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

Reach more people and increasingly provide more services and new functions that help farmers to be more productive with connectivity with other equipment that they use and thus make things easier.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

The most important thing for us is to continue growing and reach more people, therefore what has helped us the most is the word of mouth.
