Over the past few months, ZooEasy has been working hard behind the scenes. On May 1, we became part of VHLGenetics, an important step that will enable us to further strengthen and expand our services. Despite these changes, we have maintained our focus on innovation and development, and this is paying off.
Lots of interest in the breeding regulations module
One of the most requested additions at the moment is the breeding regulations module. This module allows associations to automatically check already bred or to-be-bred litters against the Association Breeding Regulations. We have now analyzed more than 80 different breeding rules. The content of these rules varies greatly from one association to another. To make the module usable for all our customers, we are working on a set of general, overarching rules. Examples of such rules include:
By generalizing the specific rules, we can make the module widely applicable.
Complex development
Developing this functionality is a complex process. Each general rule must first be specified in detail before it can be built and tested. A large part of these specifications has now been completed, and we have started the internal testing phase. This test phase consists of two parts:
We expect to complete this initial test phase in November.
User test and release
The internal testing will be followed by a user test. A number of members of our sounding board group will be the first to access the module, to test it in a test environment. We are currently drawing up a manual to provide proper support for this phase.
If the feedback from this user test is positive, the module will be rolled out step by step to all customers. We hope to make the VFR module available to all customers in the first half of 2026.
Curious to find out if this module could also work for your association? Feel free to contact us!
