01 / SOLUTIONS

Two worlds, one approach to data.

FOR AGRICULTURAL BUSINESSES

Agriculture

From herd and crop records to sensor and yield data, we pull scattered information together and make it useful. That means planning, monitoring and reporting without the spreadsheet sprawl.

▪ Herd & crop record keeping
▪ Yield & performance tracking
▪ Sensor & IoT data brought together
▪ Compliance & reporting made simpler
FOR VETERINARY PRACTICES

Veterinary practice

We build tools that help practices run more smoothly and get more from their clinical data, spanning day-to-day operations through to insight that supports better care and a healthier bottom line.

▪ Smoother practice operations
▪ Clinical data & insight
▪ Client communication
▪ Reporting & analytics
FARMVET HUB

Medicine stewardship from the drug cupboard to the farm.

Software for UK farm vets, in two parts. RUMA medicine records are free for the practice and its farmers. The invoice link into the practice's PMS is the chargeable part.

RUMA · FREE

Responsible medicine use

Every dose recorded at the animal side with its batch, expiry and withdrawal period, in an audit trail that is never rewritten. Farmers see the doses due, the courses to finish and the withdrawal periods ending.

CHARGEABLE

Invoice link

The visit is captured on the farm, checked through a three-tier review and pushed into your PMS as a clean invoice the same day, so the medicines used in the field reach the bill.

ESTIMATE.VET

Price lists and live estimates, ready for the CMA Order.

Publish your full price list and an estimate builder on your own practice website. Every weight band, VAT stated, and one short piece of code for your web developer. No AI, no guesswork.

02 / APPROACH

Sector knowledge first, technology second.

01

Fits the field and the clinic

We start with how your operation actually runs (the routines, the paperwork, the real constraints), so tools fit around you, not the other way round.

02

Data you can act on

We bring scattered records, sensors and systems together and turn them into clear reporting, so the information you already have finally works for you.

03

Practical and maintainable

Modern, dependable technology and clear analytics. Scottish-built, sector-focused, and designed to grow with your business.

03 / ABOUT

Where agriculture, veterinary science and data meet.

Based in Scotland, Big Data Synergy works at the intersection of farming, animal health and technology. We pair genuine sector knowledge with modern software and analytics to help farms and practices work smarter with the data they generate every day.

No jargon, no off-the-shelf box that almost fits. Just practical tools built around the way you actually work.

The information is already there in the field and the clinic. Our job is to help you see it clearly and act on it.
