About the Department:

Dairy Records Management Systems (DRMS) provides herd management information solutions and software to eleven thousand dairy farmers located in 44 states and Puerto Rico. DRMS serves dairy farmers through farmer coops – Dairy Herd Improvement Associations (DHIA).

DRMS develops desktop, mobile, and cloud solutions for on-farm management and information analysis for dairy farmers. DRMS utilizes a SQL cloud-based data warehouse utilizing in-house developed applications for data collection, lab management, data merging, record computation, report generation, information analysis, dashboard reporting, print center management, and business recovery.

Dairy producers utilize DRMS applications and reports to manage their dairy herds to ensure they are efficiently producing high-quality products while maintaining a profitable dairy operation.

DRMS applications aggregate, validate, enhance and correct data harvested through DRMS applications and third-party applications. Once the automated DRMS systems complete its data processing and analysis, the resulting information is disseminated to the 10,000+ dairy farms via the DRMS software, website, or printed reports.
