Case Study: Smithfield Cattle Company achieves improved efficiency, compliance and real-time reporting with GoCanvas Analytics

Smithfield Cattle Company Saves Time and Reduces Errors by Integrating GoCanvas Analytics into Daily Operations

Smithfield Cattle Company, a custom lot feeding business based in Queensland, Australia, was struggling with paper-based reporting across remote sites, which caused lost or damaged records, slow data entry and delays that hindered compliance with Australia’s National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme and timely care for more than 20,000 cattle at each location. To address these challenges, Smithfield adopted GoCanvas (including GoCanvas Analytics) to digitize field documentation and streamline data capture.

GoCanvas supplied mobile, offline-capable forms and integrations (Power BI and Quickbase) that automated tasks like fuel records and centralized submissions from field teams. As a result, Smithfield achieved real-time reporting and audit-ready records, significantly reduced administrative data entry time, improved compliance, and faster decision-making for resource allocation and animal welfare — outcomes driven by GoCanvas’s customizable platform.
