Request DataSync Setup

Request DataSync Setup

Introduction

Companies rely on BoviSync Teams to standardize data reporting and gain real-time access to customer information. Dairies manage and control access to companies through the Account Management page. Companies can benefit from BoviSync’s ability to upload records from other herd management software using a DataSync subscription. This ability unlocks the ability to do multi-site reporting and have one software to do analysis of herd records for all their clients. BoviSync has various subscription levels to provide data report services to full featured HMS: Farm Subscriptions

BoviSync’s DataSync is a farm subscription that uploads records from other herd management software (DC305, PC-Dart, DairyPlan, etc) into BoviSync. DataSync is typically sponsored by a company on the behalf of a dairy. The process is generally to setup predefined reports on the on-farm computer with the HMS software, scheduled to run daily using a task scheduler on the client's computer.  Then a windows service ('data client') is installed and runs in the background on the on-farm computer to upload of the records.

BoviSync is a herd management software company that provides additional services for allied companies such as DataSync.

I've created a farm in BoviSync named [CUSTOMERFARM]. You will be granted access to this farm in BoviSync, as the owner, for running reports, managing farm access, and setting subscription. Access to your dairy is provided by explicit permissions to Users and Teams. You may remove access at any time. Data is owned and controlled by the dairy - you are setup as the owner on the account and can turn access on/off to anyone at anytime. For more information - Own your dairy data (bovisync.com)

 I have submitted a request to BoviSync, they are going to reach out to you and be in contact to setup DataSync for you farm.  See the attachment the describes DataSync as a product. The process to setup DataSync will usually take less than 20 minutes. This may include scheduling tasks on your herd management software, feed software, and setting up any interfaces with BoviSync from parlor or processor information.  If there are any questions related to BoviSync, you can reach them at support@bovisync.com
