Farm software comes one enterprise at a time. One product for the stock, another for the cropping, a third for the water. Each arrives in a shape somebody else decided on, years ago, without knowing your place. The day you do something they didn’t think of, you’re stuck waiting on them.
But most farm work has the same bones underneath. You plan a job, put someone and a machine on it, do it in a paddock, write down what happened, and prove it later. That much is true whether you’re milking, cropping or running steers. What changes between farms is the detail — and detail is something you can set yourself.
So Alffi builds the bones once, and leaves the detail to you. Keep track of something nobody else bothers with. Record the thing your buyer asks for. Work out the number you actually manage on. No engineer, no upgrade, no support ticket.
All three work today. None of them is a promise about next year.
Every farm has something the software didn’t expect — a class of stock you treat differently, a paddock that’s really three, a buyer who wants one more number on the docket. In Alffi you just add it, and it works like everything else from then on.
No engineer, no upgrade, and no waiting for us to think it’s worth building.
“How much urea have I got?” “Is that paddock right to graze yet?” “Put Dave on the spreading Tuesday.” Type it, or say it out loud on your phone — Alffi works out the answer from your own records, and shows you anything it wants to change before it changes it.
It remembers what you tell it about your place, so it knows more each time.
Withholding periods worked out from what you actually sprayed. Vendor declarations for cattle prepared, signed and sent. Water use and meter readings ready for the authority. Records the buyer or the inspector will accept, built as you go.
Not a filing job you do afterwards — a by-product of doing the work.
Alffi is not another livestock app. It is farm software you shape around your own place — and the big products can’t simply copy that, because in theirs, nothing about your farm was ever yours to decide.
Alffi runs Mullinroo Estate — a working mixed operation in New South Wales — every day. Separately, we have driven it against a herd far larger than any of our own, to find out where it bends.
60,000 cattle, 12,000 sheep and 3,000 goats across 150 mobs, with two million weights, movements, treatments and costs behind them. Built to break something and see what broke.
Where two paddocks shared a boundary, the same post had been recorded twice. Ninety-nine of those pairs became one post each — every one of 577 markers kept, nothing deleted, the single survivor a real half-metre gap.
A full National Livestock Identification System import checked against live data — every active device, every transfer on and off, matched exactly.
Herds, the animals in them and every weight each has carried — set up through the dashboard in an afternoon, with a “Finishing Herd” showing head count and gain against the farm’s own target.
Install what your operation needs from a catalogue in the dashboard. Dependencies resolve themselves — add Irrigation and it brings Equipment and Fuel with it.
Mobs, movements, weights, treatments, kill batches, NLIS reconciliation and cattle eNVD consignments. The deepest module by a distance.
AvailableChemical and fertiliser catalogues with APVMA lookup — scan a label and Alffi reads the withholding periods off it.
AvailablePumps, irrigators, runs and logs, with scheduling driven by soil profile, crop plan and real evapotranspiration data.
AvailableMachinery, vehicles, implements and attachments, with fuel logging, service history and running costs.
AvailableYour own Ecowitt or Davis station, Bureau of Meteorology evapotranspiration, rainfall, and satellite soil moisture.
AvailableA work queue that retracts itself. Forty millimetres of rain falls, six paddocks drop below trigger, and six irrigation jobs disappear before anyone opens the app.
AvailableBuild a report against any of your data. PDF, CSV and Excel out, with your own branding on the cover.
AvailableMost farm software charges more as your herd grows or your team does. Alffi doesn’t. You pay for the business, plus whichever parts of it you actually use — so putting your farmhand, your contractor and your agronomist on it costs nothing extra.
That isn’t a special offer we could quietly withdraw — the system is built so a per-person price can’t be entered at all. Anything that does vary, like the AI you use, is shown before you use it.
See indicative pricingAlffi runs a real farm in production today. It is also early — no native app yet, billing not switched on, Australia only for now. We publish that list rather than let you discover it in a demo.
We’re looking for a small number of founding design partners: operations willing to shape the platform while it is still soft enough to be shaped. If that reads like an opportunity rather than a risk, we should talk.
