The problem

Six parties re-key
the same facts.

One sale passes through five handoffs. Each is a chance for a wrong weight, a missed withholding period or a stale declaration.

LAOS at work

From the paddock
to the settlement.

Real screens from LAOS. The agent, the producer, the buyer and the feedlot each work from the same record, and each sees what their role allows.

  1. 01 / The property

    The farm, drawn as it stands.

    Paddocks on satellite imagery, with each mob, its head and its days in. The owner draws the boundaries, and LAOS keeps the history of every move.

    • Draw a paddock straight onto the satellite
    • Head, days in and what needs you first
    • Weights, treatments and feed assessments on the record
    LAOS producer workspace: a fictional property’s paddocks on satellite imagery, with mob head counts and a withholding alert.

  2. 02 / The agent’s day

    Your next move, in order.

    Each morning LAOS puts the exceptions first: a mob still inside a withholding period, a sale that cannot be confirmed yet, a vendor not yet paid.

    • Critical items first, then the rest of the day
    • Every item opens the record behind it
    • Capture an event without leaving the list
    LAOS agent workspace headed “Your next move, Alex”, listing critical and operational exceptions for fictional sales.

  3. 03 / Supply meets demand

    Each buyer’s brief, kept standing.

    Buyers keep standing requirements: head, delivery weight, delivery window and budget per head. LAOS ranks the listed stock that fits and shows the reasons for each match.

    • A brief stays live until it is paused
    • Every match shows its reasons
    • A buyer’s notes stay with the agencies it works with

  4. 04 / Before dispatch

    Checked before the truck is booked.

    Before stock moves, LAOS checks the sale has what it needs on record: the property identification, the NVD, withholding periods clear of the dispatch date, and a transport plan. A blocked sale says why, and when it clears.

    • Withholding periods judged against the planned dispatch
    • Each declaration on record with who made it and when
    • A blocked sale shows the date it can move

  5. 05 / The pipeline

    Every deal, from interest to settlement.

    On the market, under offer, confirmed and moving, settling, settled. One board for the whole agency, with a blocked check in plain sight on its card.

    • A blocked check shows on the card
    • Each card opens its sale
    • Settled sales stay on the record

  6. 06 / Arrival

    The truck, the arrival, the count.

    The feedlot sees what is coming, when and from whom. Part loads are recorded as they arrive, so the number still to come is clear.

    • Several trucks to one sale, one freight plan
    • Part and full receivals
    • Days on feed from the record

Every screen here was captured from LAOS on 5 Nov 2026, on a fictional sample farm. Names, properties and figures are invented, and dates in the screens are that day’s. Declarations are recorded as people make them; LAOS does not yet check them against NLIS or the ISC.

In the paddock

Works where
the signal doesn’t.

Every capture is saved on the phone first and sent when there is signal. Losing signal loses nothing, and sending twice records once.

  • Weights, treatments and paddock moves
  • Feed assessments, quick or measured
  • An alert for anything that blocks a sale

How records and access work

LAOS shows the source of recorded information and uses permissions to control access. Treatment declarations and sale-readiness checks stay visible as the work progresses.
