MilkedIn: transforming dairy communication for farmers, co-ops, and processors

The dairy industry has long thrived on collaboration, farmers, co-operatives, and processors working in unison to ensure a seamless flow of milk from farm to market. However, one of the biggest challenges within the industry hasn’t been logistics or production – it’s been communication. 

The Communication Challenge 

For years, dairy processors faced difficulties in keeping their supplier communities informed. Milk collection data, quality test results, payment details, and industry updates were often shared through a mix of emails, text messages, and even paper records. This fragmented approach led to delays, confusion, and inefficiencies. 

Farmers, on the other hand, lacked real-time access to crucial information, while co-ops found themselves managing multiple communication systems just to stay connected. The result? A frustrating and time-consuming process that impacted productivity across the supply chain. 

Introducing MilkedIn: A smarter way to stay connected 

Recognising the need for a streamlined solution, CORE Technology launched MilkedIn in 2016. Developed in collaboration with dairy co-ops and processors, MilkedIn was designed to provide farmers with instant access to the information they need – right at their fingertips. 

Fast forward to today, and the app has become an essential tool for the dairy industry, with over 10,000 milk suppliers relying on it for real-time updates and seamless communication. 

How MilkedIn benefits farmers & co-ops 

MilkedIn bridges the communication gap between dairy processors and farmers, ensuring critical information is accessible anytime, anywhere. Here’s how it makes a difference: 

• Real-time access to critical data – Farmers receive instant updates on milk collections, quality test results, and payments, allowing for quicker and more informed decision-making. 

• One central platform – No more juggling texts, emails, or phone calls – MilkedIn consolidates all communication in one easy-to-use platform. 

• Smoother collaboration – Processors can share important news instantly, keeping farmers informed without unnecessary delays. 

• More time for what matters – With less time spent chasing information, farmers can focus on the core operations of their business. 

Co-ops & dairy processors: A smarter way to connect 

For co-ops and dairy processors, managing relationships with hundreds or even thousands of farmers can be a complex task. MilkedIn makes communication more efficient, reliable, and data-driven, helping to: 

• Improve transparency – Farmers stay better informed and engaged, reducing inquiries and confusion. 

• Reduce administrative burden – Automated notifications and data-sharing reduce the need for manual updates, saving valuable time.
