StockShift was born out of necessity. Having been a producer and livestock transport operator, our founder knew that there must be a better way. The StockShift app was built to facilitate the connection between producers and operators.
For most routine jobs with advance notice, finding a truck can be generally straightforward. However, last-minute or unconventional jobs, like sudden cancellations or odd-sized shipments, can pose challenges due to limited availability of suitable trucks. StockShift addresses these issues by connecting farmers and producers with available trucks in the area, making it easier to fulfill all their transport needs.
Transporting livestock is one of those challenges that producers must combat. Most producers rely on making phone call after phone call, often speaking with over a dozen transport operators before finding one that can help them. The whole process is manual, clunky and outdated.
Livestock truck operators also face their own challenges. These include how to best co-ordinate livestock freight jobs, having to deal with less than full loads, returning to base from a drop off with a huge truck that is completely empty, and of course, getting paid by producers.
Our prototype application is now live and available for use on Apple and Android devices. We are now working with producers and livestock transport operators as part of our user testing and market feedback.
