Dairy farmers wear many hats. From herd managers to nutritionists, mechanics, and business strategists. Running a single farm is already complex, but for those managing multiple locations, keeping control and consistency can become a daily challenge. That’s where Nedap’s Multi-site feature comes in. With this new functionality, you can seamlessly monitor and manage all your farms in one place – saving time, improving cow health, and driving smarter decisions. Here’s why centralizing your operations matters – and how it can boost performance across your entire dairy business.
Nedap Now Multi-site
With Nedap’s Muti-site widget you can manage and benchmark all your farm locations in one place.
In Nedap Now, the cloud-based platform for Nedap solutions, you can add multiple sites or locations and monitor and manage them in one place. You can easily access the platform anytime, anywhere, on any device and switch between locations. You can set access rights per person/role on the farm. For example, the owner or overall manager can have access to all locations, while a location or herd manager can be set to have access only to the data of their own location.
It has seamless integration with different herd management systems and third-party stakeholders (e.g. milking and monitoring tech). With the Multi-site widget, you can combine all data in one spot for improved analysis and insights – even if you move your cows from one dairy to another.
With the Multi-site widget, you can view real-time data for all your sites in one place. You can compare reproductive performance, health behavior, heat stress and overall performance between sites. And of course, you’ll receive heat and health alerts for all locations in a single platform. Access/viewing rights can be configured for each individual or role on the farm.
Why it matters: This centralized oversight helps spot underperformance and inconsistencies early. It also helps you quickly address emergencies across locations.
Compare farms with Nedap Multi-site
One of the biggest advantages of the Multi-site feature is that when you move cows between locations, all data — both historical data and current alerts — is retained.
Why it matters: All alerts, such as heat and health alerts, are retained. You don’t need to re-enter data, which means less tedious data entry, reduced risk of errors, and a significant time savings.
You can benchmark breeding success rates and fertility insights, such as submission rates, insemination results, and non-return rates. You can also compare health KPIs, like alerts for mastitis, lameness, ketosis, overall health scores, and more. Additionally, you can compare management-related insights, such as herd eating patterns and heat stress levels, not to mention activity and rumination trends, as well as transition cow management. Technically, owners or overall managers with access to all locations can benchmark cow monitoring data across different farms.
Why it matters: With this Multi-site feature, you can replicate best practices across sites and eliminate bottlenecks.

Then this is your solution.
With the Multi-site feature, you can compare and standardize operating procedures, and create customized worklists with relevant insights for each team member at each location.
Why it matters: Qualified labor is scarce and expensive, so smart deployment is key. You can also identify training needs and track performance. Farm managers have remote access to farm data across all locations in one tool.
At Nedap, we are passionate about technology and how it can help farmers become more successful and happier in their lives. This is what we call Improving Life on the Farm. That’s why we create mobile-friendly dashboards and alerts. Nedap Now even has its own user-friendly app.
The cloud-based platform ensures 24/7 remote access to cow-specific and herd-level data. And with the Multi-site widget, you can seamlessly switch between farms without logging in and out.
Why it matters: Farm managers or owners often travel between sites and need full access while on the road.
Having all data from multiple sites in one place – without having to log in and out of different tools or apps – saves time, money, and frustration. It also reduces the time needed for reporting and data collection.
A lesser-known advantage is that having all your data centralized helps reduce cow health issues through faster action. Even if you’re far from a sick cow, you can quickly assess the situation and instruct staff on what to do.
Last but not least: The Multi-site widget saves time through more consistent outcomes across farms.
The Multi-site feature is already available in Nedap Now, Nedap’s cloud-based platform. Nedap Now combines the accuracy and reliability of Nedap CowControl with the processing power and scalability of cloud computing. The platform integrates seamlessly with most herd management systems and third-party stakeholders (e.g., milking parlors, sensors, or third-party tools).
With Nedap Now, you will be able to:
Nedap Now complements your current herd management system and consolidates data from different systems into one unified platform.
The Multi-site feature opens new possibilities for dairy farmers, such as:
