A momentary shift in focus
With Individual Animal Management in the early stages of user testing, the team here at AgriWebb shifted focus to work on a bunch of ideas from the Ideas Portal. This what we call a fix-fest.
What is a fix-fest?
A fix-fest is a period of time (typically a week) set aside to work on a high volume of small feature requests, explore what’s possible, experiment and learn.
A fix-fest allows the team to think creatively, execute rapidly and deliver a range of product improvements. Some of the most valuable changes to the product have come out of past fix-fests so they’re a very important part of the development process here at AgriWebb.

Let us know in the comments which of these you’ve been waiting for:
Farm map improvements
A better way to view map insights
Not only are insight views now available on the Mobile App, but understanding them is easier than ever. For example, selecting the ‘Feed on offer’ insight not only changes the map colours and key but also displays the kg/DM/ha on each paddock. That makes it a lot easier to see what’s happening across the farm.
Drawing a pivot has come full circle
With a pivot requiring an average of 40 clicks, it’s a task even internally that we drew straws on. Those days are over however. You can now create a circular paddock in seconds with a couple clicks.
More landmarks for a more detailed map
We’ve added a number of new landmarks to help you paint an accurate picture of your farm. Solar pumps, feed bins and baits have been added. Along with a refresh of all existing icons.
Give your farm map a fresh coat
With more types to choose from, we have increased the colour palette so you can better differentiate paddocks on your map.
Inventory improvements
Add multiple inventory items faster
Speed up your inventory inputs by adding multiple containers of the same item in a single action. Just enter the number of items you’ve purchased and change batch numbers or levels that might differ between them.
Keep a clean inventory with ‘archive’
You can now archive inventory items that have been exhausted. This allows you to maintain all of the history associated with that inventory item without cluttering up your list of current items.
See inventory levels at a glance
We have introduced labels for inventory items so you can quickly identify those items that need to be replenished. Items are now labelled based on their state: Available, Low, Expired or Empty.
Reporting improvements
Find the report you need faster
We have given the reports area a refresh to make it easier to find the report you need. A navigation bar has been introduced to group related reports. Within each tab we’ve separated the record reports from the production reports and grouped them by their category.
The fertility report receives 2 new columns
To provide insight into the natural increase of the flock/herd the fertility report now has the following 2 columns.
Marking % from scanned
The number of head marked as a percentage of the offspring recorded from scanning results.
Weaning % from scanned
The number of head weaned as a percentage of the offspring recorded from scanning results.
Other updates
Keep farm notes in the farm summary
No need to use a separate notes app to record general farm notes, ideas or thoughts you can now store notes in the farm summary. While you’re there you’ll also notice the farm summary received a facelift. It now offers a complete snapshot of your farm – with total DSE and animal figures, the average stocking rate and graphs detailing your animals by age class, breed and DSE.
Know who created the record
The name of each record creator is now visible in both livestock and paddock history timelines. We’ve also added a new report, Livestock activity by User. In there you’ll see a full breakdown of all livestock records from your farm and who created them.
Copy a mob on the Mobile App
Previously only available on the Web App you can now copy a mob on the Mobile App.
Add and edit sales in the Web App
Add or edit your mob sale records from the sale record report, or existing records in your mob history.
