Holstein UK’s digital transformation journey with Valto

The organisation supports approximately 4,500 members while managing services spanning animal registration, milk recording, genetics, herd performance and industry reporting. Through divisions including CIS and NBDC, Holstein UK’s data and services help dairy farmers make better breeding and management decisions every day.

While these systems successfully supported the organisation, information was distributed across multiple applications, databases and processes. Bringing that information together and creating a single, trusted view of member, herd and animal data became a key strategic priority.

At the same time, Holstein UK wanted to improve internal efficiency, enhance member experiences and create a platform capable of supporting future innovation.

The long-term vision is to create a connected digital ecosystem that supports employees, members and industry stakeholders from a single platform.

Key objectives include:

• Creating a trusted, unified data foundation
• Modernising business-critical processes
• Reducing duplication and manual effort
• Improving visibility and reporting
• Delivering new member-facing digital services
• Strengthening governance and security
• Supporting continued innovation across the dairy sector

• Microsoft Power Platform
• Microsoft Dataverse
• Microsoft Fabric
• Azure
• Power Pages

These technologies provide the foundation for modern applications, portals, reporting capabilities and future AI opportunities.
