Nebraska Branding: Hot Steel and Mobile Inspections
22 Dezember 2017 - 2:00PM

For the first time in history, Nebraska brand inspectors are
using a groundbreaking custom mobile application quite literally,
out in the field. Housing more than 100,000 records of customers
and brands on a tablet, the mobile application is able to record
inspections and generate brand papers for Nebraska’s producers from
the windswept plains.
In December, Nebraska Interactive, with the Nebraska Brand
Committee, trained the remaining 80+ inspectors on the new
technology, which records the cattle metrics and tracks brand
inspections, as well as collects the necessary fees online,
reducing a staggering 75 percent of the current paper process. “We
are overjoyed with the new mobile application system, which
improves our processes with marked improvements in efficiency,
transparency, audit reporting, budgeting, accountability and
increased customer service. Introducing our industry, steeped in
tradition, to the digital age is nothing short of miraculous. It
allows Nebraska branding and inspecting to function like an
efficient business of the new millennium with data being securely
recorded almost instantly. The scope of the project grew as we went
deeper on a daily basis with process improvements being carved out
and adopted into the application. A project this evolutionary meant
that we needed to engage a forward-thinking partner so we went
toe-to-toe with Nebraska Interactive. We couldn’t be more pleased,”
said John Widdowson, Chair of the Nebraska Brand Committee.
The mobile solution provides brand inspectors the ability to
input their data using a tablet and provides producers the ability
to pay their fees immediately or choose the option to be invoiced.
The nexus of tradition and technology creates an effective flow of
information where it needs to be, when it needs to be.
“Beef production is a huge part of the Nebraskan economy. Taking
on this project meant building a mobile application which would
catapult this industry into the digital age. It took a lot of
brainstorming, collaboration, inventing and reinventing as we went
along. Accessing and syncing data in the field using our latest
technology is powerful and will be reused as a SAAS to assist other
agencies that need to capture and store similar types of data. This
enterprise solution will yield multiple benefits to the state of
Nebraska and other state agencies for years to come. I am so proud
of the team for their tenacity and perseverance. This is a great
victory for the state and for Nebraska Interactive,” said Brent
Hoffman, GM of Nebraska Interactive.
