Company
Cretaceous Industries Limited
Cretaceous Industries Limited is the UK company behind Tractr. It's two brothers, Ben and Joe, from a working mixed arable and livestock farm in Hampshire, building affordable technology for the people actually doing the farming.
What we make
Tractr
The farm management platform on this site: livestock and arable records, medicine book, movements, field diary, weather and insights, in the browser on any device. Approved by the Livestock Information Service for reporting sheep, goat and deer movements in England. See the features.
Tractr for iPhone & iPad
A native iOS app built for the field. It covers animals, births, breeding, medical records and the medicine cupboard, movements, fields and crops, equipment, tasks and reports. It switches between an Animal and an Arable mode, and you can download your whole farm to work with no signal. It scans medicine batch barcodes with the camera and syncs with your Tractr account when you're back in range. It's coming to the App Store soon.
Tractr Tramlines for iPhone & iPad
GPS field guidance from the phone in your cab: straight, curved and circular parallel passes, headland turns, a lightbar steering cue, and worked-area tracking that keeps recording in the background. Finished jobs sync into your Tractr field diary, or wait on the phone until you're back in signal. Your first 10 jobs are free, then Tramlines Pro is £0.99/month or £5.99/year. Find out more.
An affordable eID reader (prototype)
A low-cost electronic ID reader for sheep, cattle and goats, in prototype development. We're concentrating on read range for now. Where it's at.
How we work
We're a small family enterprise, not a big software house, and everything we ship is tried on our own farm first. It follows the same principles: affordable enough for a new farmer's first season, simple enough to be productive in minutes, and your data stays yours — export it any time, no lock-in.
