What Cloudfarms does
Cloudfarms (legal entity Cloudfarms a.s.) is a cloud-based pig production management software provider serving pork producers, integrators, breeding and multiplication farms, and boar/AI studs. The company was founded in 2013 by Jens Toppenberg and Gregor Raýman, maintains its operational headquarters in Bratislava, Slovakia, and reports usage by producers in over 40 countries. Since 2020 it has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of BASF SE, operating within BASF's agricultural solutions activities. Headcount is in the 11–50 range.
The core product is a modular Pig Management System combining a web-based cloud application with a mobile app for in-barn data collection, with reports refreshed every 20 minutes and support for unlimited simultaneous users across multiple sites. The platform is organized into eight interconnected modules — Sow Management, Wean-to-Finish Management, Breeding & Multiplication Management, Boar & Semen Management, Workflow & Alert Management, Data Analytics, Individual Animal Tracking, and Traceability from Field to Fork — plus a Pig Passport add-on (individual animal tracking from birth to processing, developed with SUISAG). Technically, the system emphasizes offline-capable mobile data capture with auto-sync, QR/RFID ear-tag scanning, GraphQL-based data exports, and extensive integrations with genetics companies (Danbred, PIC, Genesus, Topigs Norsvin, DNA, Danish Genetics, Hermitage, Darby), electronic feeding systems (Big Dutchman, Nedap, Skiold, Weda, BoPil, Jyga, Schauer, Agrisys), ear-tag readers, and customer financial/ERP systems (e.g., a custom integration built for JBS).
The business model is recurring SaaS subscription sold directly to enterprise, multi-site pig producers through a field sales organization structured by geographic region (Europe & Africa, the Americas, Asia & Pacific). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, delivered via multi-year contracts with demos as the primary bottom-of-funnel conversion mechanism. Named customers include JBS Live Pork (over 175,000 sows across 90 US farms), Goodvalley, Bovbjerg Genetics A/S, and Taaibosch Piggery, indicating a concentration on large, distributed pork operations.
