Case Study: Sistema Nacional de Información Ganadera (SNIG) achieves full individual cattle traceability and premium market access with GeneXus

Technology also places Uruguayan beef in the most demanding markets

Sistema Nacional de Información Ganadera needed a nationwide, individual traceability system to guarantee beef safety and meet the strict documentation demands of premium export markets. GeneXus (via GeneXus Consulting), together with ICA and SONDA, developed the SNIG individual cattle traceability system to capture each animal’s life history from birth to slaughter and satisfy those market and regulatory requirements.

GeneXus implemented a solution that captures paper forms, provides georeferencing, analytics and full life‑history records, enabling producers to identify animals and authorities to track health and epidemiology. The SNIG now records 11,750,000 heads of cattle and has delivered over 17,500,000 identifying rings, helping Uruguayan beef access higher‑value markets (including EU quota recognition), raise product transparency and boost export competitiveness.
