Offline field apps

Built for the chute, the pen, and the truck, where there is no signal and the gloves stay on.

01 · What this is

The field half of your system, built to work with no bars and gloves on.

A yard, a pasture, or a truck bed is not where an app with a spinner belongs. We build field apps that hold the day's work on the device itself, tag reads, weights, treatments, counts, so a crew member keeps working through a dead zone instead of waiting on a bar to load.

Offline is not a fallback mode bolted on afterward. It is how the app is built from the start: every entry saves locally first and syncs when the signal comes back, with conflicts resolved by rules we agree with you rather than by whichever phone happened to reconnect first. A tablet app built this way can carry EID entry at purchase, depot intake, grading, and death records, all built to work with no signal and sync when it returns.

Big touch targets for gloved hands, a camera or a tag scanner where the job needs one, and a screen that tells a crew member what still needs to sync instead of leaving them guessing.

  1. 01Offline-first: every entry saves to the device and syncs when signal returns
  2. 02Built for gloves: big touch targets, nothing fiddly to tap
  3. 03EID and barcode scanning where the job calls for it
  4. 04Conflict rules agreed with you, not decided by whichever device reconnects first
  5. 05Runs on the tablets and phones your crew already carries
  6. 06Ties straight into the office record, so nothing gets retyped

Scope, then a real number.

Quoted from your brief. We build and test the offline path first, in a dead zone, before anything else.

What it costs

Every project is quoted from your own brief. No packages, no tiers, and no published price to reverse-engineer your scope from.

03 · Where we work

Offline livestock field apps across the Midwest.

Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin are the five states we actively sell into, and we work with livestock and ag businesses anywhere in the US. Mule works remotely, over calls, video, and shared screens, and comes on site when a project needs it; travel is quoted with the work.

Before you ask.

The full FAQ
  • What happens if the truck has no signal for a whole day?

    The app keeps working. Everything entered that day, tag reads, weights, counts, is held on the device and syncs the moment signal comes back. Nobody has to remember to sync anything by hand.

  • How is offline data captured and synced?

    Everything entered that day, tag reads, depot intake, grading, death records, saves to the device the moment it's entered and syncs automatically once signal returns, offline-first from the start rather than bolted on afterward.

  • What if two people enter conflicting information while both are offline?

    We agree the rule with you before it happens, not after. Depending on the data, that might mean the earliest entry wins, the latest wins, or a conflict gets flagged for a person to resolve, and we write that rule into the brief rather than guessing at build time.

  • Does it need special hardware?

    No. It runs on the phones and tablets your crew already has. If you use a Bluetooth EID reader, we pair to it; if you don't, manual entry works the same way.

  • Who can see what on the app?

    Whatever you tell us. Roles are set server-side, so a hired crew member can enter data without seeing pricing or another location's animals, if that's how your operation is structured.

Describe the job.

A sentence or two about what you need is enough to start. We ask a few questions, then a person writes back with the scope, the timeline, and a quote with the line items behind it.

Your domain and your data are yours on every plan, whatever happens. We do not hold a domain or your customer records hostage, not even if you stop paying. Ask and we hand your data over.
