Tipperary-based Herdwatch acquires TB software companies
Summary
Founded over 25 years ago by Jim McGreevy, ComTag supplies TB and blood testing software solutions for veterinary practices across the island of Ireland. Herdwatch chief executive and co-founder Fabien Peyaud said that ComTag and Lilac were "pioneers in the ag-tech field, and the leadership of their respective founders resulted in some of the earliest tech solutions for vets". "The vet-farmer relationship is one of the most critical in food production, so it makes sense for Herdwatch to join the dots and be the first software platform in the world to bring farmers and vets together in the same digital ecosystem," Mr Peyaud said. Andrew Cobner, founder and manager of Lilac Technology said: "Having been a practicing vet myself for over 30 years, I know first-hand how tough but also how important a job it is. "With TB Master, we helped make vets’ lives easier for over 20 years, and I am very confident the Herdwatch team will take it to the next level."
