Bulk SMS for
Kenya's Livestock Sector
Savanna HerdIQ gives veterinary networks, county extension services, and agribusinesses a managed contact register and bulk SMS engine. Reach farmers, veterinarians, and agrovets across all 47 counties — on any handset, with no internet connection required.
Phase 1 is the communication foundation. Phases 2 and 3 build herd intelligence and market access on top of the same data.

What Phase 1 gives you
Three tightly integrated tools. Each one is useful on its own; together they form the data layer every subsequent phase is built on.
National Contact Register
Add and manage profiles for farmers, veterinarians, and agrovets. Each contact carries a county, contact type, and any custom attributes you need. The register is searchable and filterable across your entire network in real time — whether you have 50 contacts or 50,000.
Bulk SMS Campaigns
Write a message, select your recipients, and send. Campaigns reach any mobile device in Kenya within seconds — no app, no internet, no friction on the recipient's end. Every broadcast is logged immediately with a full recipient breakdown, demo contact exclusions, and the exact message sent.
Dynamic Contact Groups
Create contact groups with rule-based membership. A group for all dairy farmers in Nakuru County, another for every registered vet in the Rift Valley — defined once, evaluated automatically every time a contact is added or changed. Your targeting stays accurate without manual list maintenance.
The register is the infrastructure, not just the address book.
Every contact, group, and campaign in Phase 1 produces structured data that the platform carries forward. When USSD arrives in Phase 2, farmers already have profiles to update. When AI diagnostics arrive in Phase 3, there is longitudinal data to reason over. What you build today doesn't get replaced — it compounds.
Kenya has approximately 7 million smallholder livestock farmers. The majority hold basic handsets. SMS is the one channel that reaches all of them, right now. That is why Phase 1 starts here.
Platform roadmap
Three phases.
One data foundation.
The contact register you build in Phase 1 is the same record that USSD populates in Phase 2 and AI diagnostics reasons over in Phase 3.
