Smithfield Cattle Company GoCanvas Case Study

This case study details the implementation of GoCanvas at Smithfield Cattle Company, a custom lot feeding business in Queensland, Australia. The document outlines the challenges faced by the company prior to adopting GoCanvas, including inefficiencies associated with traditional paper-based reporting, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. The lack of real-time data hindered decision-making and compliance reporting, particularly under the National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme. In 2018, the company adopted GoCanvas to digitize its documentation process, allowing field workers to submit data electronically via mobile devices. The outcomes of this implementation included significant time savings in data entry, improved compliance reporting, and enhanced decision-making capabilities through real-time data availability. The case study emphasizes the benefits of GoCanvas, including its offline capabilities, customization options, and integration with Power BI for real-time insights, which collectively improved operational efficiency for Smithfield.
