Cattle operations · Western Downs, Queensland

Your operation runs on memory.

Spreadsheets, paper, and what three people happen to remember. LPOS is an operating system for the place — feeding, yards, cattle and paperwork in one system instead of four apps that never agree. BovaryX builds it, and puts it on your place.

What BovaryX does

We get a cattle operation onto its own numbers.

Not by handing you a login. We come out, look at how the place actually runs, take what is on paper and in people’s heads, and build it into the working day — so the numbers turn up on their own instead of being collected afterwards. LPOS is the operating system we put on the place: feeding, yards, cattle, treatments and paperwork run in one system, not in four that have to be reconciled. Getting your place onto it is the work, and that part is ours.

Who it is for
Cattle operations that feed — feedlots and backgrounders. It starts paying for itself as soon as a place is bigger than one person can hold in their head, and nothing in it caps how far that goes: more pens, more mixers, more crew, same system.
Why we do it
Because the numbers already exist. They are on a whiteboard, in a notebook, in four apps and in what three people happen to remember — and none of that survives an audit, a staff change or a bad week.

What it runs

The whole place, in one system.

Every job below writes into the same records, so the next audit reads what the day already left behind.

Your stock

Every head
By its EID, from purchase to kill sheet
Mobs and pens
Drafted on the board, counted as they move
Paperwork
NVDs, purchases and kill sheets, read in from a photo or a file

Machinery

Maintenance
Service schedules, parts used, breakdowns reported
Mixing
The loading list per mixer, and the feed on hand
Feeding
The run pen by pen, opened by driving into the bunk zone
Bunk
What was left, and how fast each pen is eating

Preparations

Products
Every batch with its withholding period
Treatments
Every dose on the animal it went into
Withholding
No truck leaves while it is still running

Staffing

Roles
Everyone sees the work that is theirs, and only that
Hours
Logged on a shared phone, against the right person
Devices
A phone paired once, or tied to one machine

Pens and water

Water troughs
When each one was cleaned
Pen cleaning
How often each pen was cleaned out
For the audit
Both logged as the job is done, not written up after

How it all hangs together on a single animal: the product page.

Why it stays out of the way

The software fits the day. Not the other way round.

  • It knows where you are.Pull up at a pen and that pen is already the one on the screen. Drive into the bunk zone and the amount to drop is there, without looking for the row.
  • Nothing to hunt for.The bar at the bottom carries only what that person actually does — the loader operator never sees the drafting. And a clean bunk is one tap: Empty, saved, next pen.
  • One system, not seven.The count you booked, the scanner file, the kill sheet, the treatment, the reason someone changed an amount — the same record, reached from either end. Nothing gets typed twice, and nothing has to be reconciled at the end of the month.

What that looks like from half past five in the morning:

From the silo to the kill sheet — one record, written while the work happens.

Evening · The paperwork that already happened

Send it. LPOS knows what it is.

Scale export, kill sheet, NVD — share it from your phone the way you would share anything else. LPOS parks it, works out what kind of document it is, and puts the right review in front of you.

A photo of the sheet is enough — handwriting and all. It gets read, you check four fields, and the lot sits in your purchase register with the sheet attached to it.

LPOS reads the text, recognises the works, then runs the whole consignment through and rolls it back, so you see exactly what will happen before it happens.

Scale export or a plain tag list. Groups, weights, treatments and merge candidates come up for review — nothing is written until you apply it.

The sorting only looks at the file type — which is exactly why it never gets it wrong. The contents get read inside each branch, and only the NVD photo needs a model, because that is the one with handwriting on it.

Files sit in the inbox for 24 hours and then clear themselves, so nothing piles up that nobody dealt with. Sharing the same file twice does not create a second record.

How we work together

Nobody hands you a login and wishes you luck.

Software on its own does not digitise an operation — it moves the mess somewhere else. The work is understanding how your place actually runs, and then fitting the tool to it.

1

We come out and learn the place

A few days alongside the crew: how the day runs, how the pens sit, what the rations are, where the numbers end up now. Your pen outlines and your troughs come straight off the satellite image, before anything else gets set up.

2

Your old records come with you

Lists, spreadsheets, scale exports, kill sheets, purchase paperwork — read in, checked, in. You do not start from zero, and you do not start from “new records from today”.

3

LPOS gets fitted to your operation

Mixers, rations, routes, roles, devices — set to your place, not to a template. And where something is genuinely missing for the way you run, it gets built.

4

Your crew gets trained, and we stay

The people at the bunk and in the yards get walked through it until it runs without us. After that we stay reachable — a phone number, not a ticket system.

Straight up

What this isn't

  • Not a reporting tool. It does not exist so you can look at last month. Last month is a by-product.
  • Not digitising for the sake of it. If it does not take work off you today, it has no business being on your phone.
  • Not a system you have to work around. It fits the way your place already runs. You do not rebuild your operation to suit the software.

What it is: fewer things to carry in your head, and fewer things to guess at — starting with where your cattle actually are.

Weather, market data, the things that read ahead — those are coming. They are not in it today, and we would rather tell you that than show you a mock-up of them. What is in it, down to the single animal, is on the product page.

The founder

Someone who has actually fed out.

Farming first. Yannik has worked the industry hands-on — mustering, feeding and stock work — with a get-it-done mentality forged through practical training, not theory. He knows what a 5 am start at the induction race feels like, because that is where LPOS gets tested.

Then the analyst side: as a fintech fraud analyst he finds signal in millions of transactions, and his business degree adds the academic frame. That triple perspective — farming, tech, finance — rarely lives in one person. It's exactly what building LPOS takes.

Two operations run LPOS every day — and they are the reason it looks the way it does. What did not work in their yards did not survive the week.
