Livestock farming business: Unlocking data’s full potential

A leading livestock farming business came to us with a mission to modernise their operations through data.

After investing in a new data warehouse, the client recognised a strong alignment between their technical environment and Elixirr’s deep expertise in data transformation. However, their confidence had been shaken by a prior, unsuccessful vendor engagement. Understandably cautious, they needed a partner who could not only deliver this modernisation but rebuild their trust.

Elixirr approached the engagement with a focused discovery workshop to uncover key pain point and collaboratively prioritise specific use cases. One theme, common amongst our clients, emerged clearly; a lack of data integration across business unites. They struggled with deeply siloed operations which made financial reporting fragmented and unreliable. Without a single source of truth, data was often inconsistent, inaccessible, or duplicated.

Working collaboratively with the client, we assessed a broad range of possible improvements before identifying the highest-impact opportunities, including one initiative tied to the organisation’s largest annual cost category. Understanding that their previous experience damaged their ability to trust third parties, we began with a targeted proof of value, working on an initial use case that could demonstrate our capabilities and build confidence in our approach.

With this new foundation in place, the client now has a unified, reliable data environment that not only supports better business operations today, but is ready to unlock the full potential of AI. We’re already laying the groundwork to deploy machine learning capabilities that will further optimise costs, increase agility and drive sustainable growth.

At Elixirr, we don’t just implement solutions, we meet our clients where they are, understand their context and earn their trust. That’s how we turn transformation into long-term impact.
