- Format
- Tabular relational herd records: nightly ETL extracts from heterogeneous farm-management software, transformed into one consistent schema in a central database, exposed as queryable modular data marts plus reports and web applications.
- Volume
- Nightly per-farm herd extracts normalised into one schema across at least three data marts (Reproduction, Milk Production, Udder Health) — plausibly hundreds of millions of lactation, calving, insemination, somatic-cell and yield records once herds from multiple software vendors are pooled.
- Users
- N/A as registered users — farmers grant data-access consent rather than holding accounts; the account population is professional consultants (veterinarians, genetic consultants, feed advisers), plausibly low thousands across Europe and other dairy regions.

- Growth
- Active — 34-person distributed engineering organisation with a multilingual helpdesk, a versioned product line (OptiHerd v2) and an explicitly stated 'BIG dairy data' strategy built on continuously updated multi-source combination.
- Launched
- Est. 2014-2016 for the cloud data warehouse platform — a legacy HERDNET product area predates it and versioned successors (OptiHerd v2) imply several earlier product generations.
