How do we help?

At SAOS we like a challenge. Some of the best ideas come from problems or challenges, and we like nothing better than finding a solution. SmartRural and ScotEID are great examples of how we do this, and we’re always looking for new opportunities.

SmartRural

Through SmartRural, SAOS has initiated a nationwide project that will help farmers capture and access data to help make better decisions and improve business returns.

ScotEID

The ScotEID database provides real-time tracing data of farm livestock through their supply chains, until the point when they enter the food chain.
