Could you tell us about the latest innovations in your software? Are there any special topics or features that you will present to users in the coming days or years, which are currently in progress? At BESTMIX® Software we have a great team of over 30 people working hard every day to bring innovations to the market. We stay on top of all trends and follow up with customers and partners to improve every day. Some of the features we have been working on the last couple of months are: • Ration calculation per individual cow: to allow feed advisors to give tailor-made advise to their customers. Animal performance figures are pushed to BESTMIX® Recipe Management online, so we can use these figures to calculate the optimal ration to be fed, per individual animal • As mentioned earlier, a very important feature is the use of environmental parameters in the optimization feed or feeding programs, besides the normal least cost formulation • Blend optimization - A new feature in our Multiblend option to allow you to optimize and define the perfect premix/preblend/half fabricate that will serve several main recipes. • Target optimization – in the regular least cost formulation tools, constraints on nutrient values are entered via minima and maxima. Via target optimization this is no longer required since you only need to enter the required output, and BESTMIX® Recipe Management will try to get as close as possible to these target values. • We recently also launched a new product to the market, BESTMIX® SpecTrack. BESTMIX® SpecTrack centralizes data of your suppliers on one single web platform. Our solution supports you in enforcing compliance and collecting information from suppliers. The ever-increasing demands of retailers, legislation, auditors, and management require a more structured and efficient approach. As a manufacturer, you manage digitally structured information of your needs in the field of product composition, allergens, nutritional values, certificates, assessments, and more. Consequently, by using BESTMIX® SpecTrack, you always dispose of one version of the truth. Information is efficiently shared with product developers, quality assurance staff, production managers and other stakeholders. BESTMIX® SpecTrack meets the demand for transparency, traceability, and quality assurance
