Building a Livestock Health Tracking Platform

The Challenge

The business had outgrown its own infrastructure. The website went down during peak traffic, the CRM could not handle the volume of new contacts, and internal reporting took two weeks to compile. Something had to change before the next growth phase.

Our Approach

Research, Analysis, and Strategic Foundation

• Pulled user behavior data from every touchpoint and found where people were leaving and why
• Benchmarked against five competitors to see what was working in the market and what was not
• Set up a measurement framework tied to actual business outcomes, not vanity metrics

Design, Development, and Implementation

• Built the core platform features, prioritizing the ones users asked for most
• Set up analytics so the team could see what was happening in real time instead of waiting for monthly reports
• Automated the repetitive workflows that were eating 15+ hours per week
• Connected the separate systems into one data pipeline so every team worked from the same numbers

Launch, Optimization, and Scale

• Scaled the campaigns that were working and shut down the ones that were not
• Expanded into two adjacent market segments that early data suggested would convert well
• Signed partnership deals with three complementary companies to reach new audiences
• Built retention programs focused on the first 90 days, where most churn happened

Key Takeaways

1. Over 70% of user sessions in every European market we entered came from mobile devices. Designing for desktop first and adapting for mobile was backwards.
2. The single biggest ROI came from fixing the user experience. Removing two unnecessary steps from the signup flow improved every downstream metric.
3. The organic content we published in month two was still generating leads eight months later. Paid campaigns stopped the moment we stopped paying for them.
4. The highest-performing acquisition channel was word of mouth from users who genuinely liked the product. No ad campaign came close.
5. Reducing monthly churn by 2 percentage points had the same revenue impact as increasing new signups by 15%. Retention math is unforgiving.
