Valto and Holstein UK launch major multi-year digital transformation programme

Valto and Holstein have launched a significant digital transformation programme aimed at modernising the breed society’s core systems and building a unified, data-driven platform to support its 4,500 members. The multi-year programme, which began in May 2026, marks one of the most significant technology investments in Holstein’s history.

The programme will see Valto work closely with Holstein to design and implement a modern digital platform that consolidates systems, simplifies processes, and improves visibility across the organisation.

Holstein currently operates across several systems that have evolved over time, creating significant complexity – particularly in how data is managed across the organisation. The transformation programme addresses this directly, moving towards a modern, integrated digital estate built around a single, connected platform.

Valto will bring its expertise in solution architecture, delivery governance, and Microsoft technologies, including Power Platform, to support the programme from initial design through to delivery. The project will establish a cloud-first ecosystem, focused on standardising data, modernising business processes, and delivering new internal and member-facing digital services.

Delivery is structured across multiple workstreams, with initial discovery and solution architecture phases already complete. The programme in now in active delivery, with Valto and Holstein working in close collaboration to ensure each phase is built on a consistent architecture designed for long-term scalability and security.

By simplifying complex operations and creating a unified platform, the programme is designed to help Holstein unlock greater value from its data and build a stronger foundation for future development.
