Virtus Nutrition and Dairy.com announced today the launch of joint venture My Dairy Dashboard, an online technology hub that addresses the challenges of dairy data integration and visualization.

My Dairy Dashboard is a new way to visualize and analyze a dairy’s key performance metrics, putting simple yet powerful data visuals at the fingertips of producers and consultants. My Dairy Dashboard connects data sources (e.g., dairy management, feed, milk processor and weather) in one place, making data easier for dairy producers and their advisors to view and analyze. The result: better decisions faster.

“This is an exciting time in dairy with new technologies being rapidly developed to track every aspect of dairy production and farming,” says Mitch Norby, CEO of My Dairy Dashboard. “The challenge is that almost every technology has its own system, with no easy way to bring all of this data together so that is can be accurately analyzed. That is what My Dairy Dashboard does in a nutshell,” Norby stated.

Virtus Nutrition and Dairy.com are technology-minded partners and their combined solutions impact the entire dairy industry, from farm to fork. Virtus Nutrition works directly with dairies and their advisors, while Dairy.com’s web-based software solutions streamline dairy supply chain operations.

“This breadth of experience will help My Dairy Dashboard meet the data aggregation needs for individual dairy producers, consultants and other industry partners as well,” said Dr. Kevin Murphy, COO of My Dairy Dashboard. “We are in the

information age where data is sometimes too plentiful. My Dairy Dashboard will help dairies stay focused on what really matters and save consultants time so they can focus on analysis and helping dairies take action to improve their bottom line,” Murphy stated.

My Dairy Dashboard is deep in the development phase with the anticipated launch planned for later in 2017. To stay in the loop with My Dairy Dashboard updates and availability or to sign up to be a beta herd, visit MyDairyDashboard.com.
