CRIO ONLINE

Vorteile

Incorporating tech into the barn is intimidating. During my search for a barn management app, I went back and forth between apps comparing features and prices. FYI, CRIO has the most features and the best price.

As for features, logging and tracking breeding services was my primary concern. CRIO is one of the few that has comprehensive breeding documentation! In addition to that, the software will generate reports for you. My most helpful chart; Mares that still need to be CIF (certified in foal).

Nachteile

For every equine professional that doesn't have time to sit down and plug in all the data, just do it. It's tedious at first but once everything is scheduled, it's easy peasy! CRIO will send you notifications for coggins renewals, vaccinations, de worming and much more!

The big flaw for me is that a mobile app doesn't exist yet (Keyword being yet). The team at CRIO has been working on an app that will hopefully be released by the end of this year (2019).

Vorteile

FANTASTIC customer service!! They listen to suggestions and answer questions quickly.

Nachteile

Some lack of flexibility, but getting better with each upgrade. I would like alternate merchant service options for payment processing, like Paypal which is dominant in the USA.

Vorteile

Easy to use, good price. I like the barn set up, horse tab, and the expenses tab.

Nachteile

Although it’s easy to use. Configuration is difficult. Many of the tabs are useless to us. Few instructions. I’m still finding features I didn’t know it had. Boarding tab is useless for us, even that’s our main part of what we do. Invoicing is ok but need a way to delete them.

Vorteile

Aimed for breeding barns and sales. Still learning all the features and this software has met almost every want.

Nachteile

Waiting for a mobile app. The feed section is complicated. Was hoping for something where I could print a stall card for each horse that had their feed, meds, turnout, information on it.

Vorteile

Its intuitive, it was very easy to add horses and start using it effectively, it allows us to record all of the information that we are interested in for our horses. The visuals are great and easy for all stakeholders to see the information they want, love the Dashboard. Dynamic Groups are great for automatically putting horses in meaningful groups and displaying them on the dashboard In terms of horse information, there really isn't anything missing and most of the various sections can be customised to fit our requirements. Being able to add notes and pull those notes up easily via a report is also a great feature. We also love the fact that that the system will automatically show us things like siblings and offspring and we can download all information onto spreadsheets or run reports.

Nachteile

Nothing much and in our experience, there are ongoing enhancements. The main one would be that it needs an App, the system is responsive but difficult to use from a small screen such as a mobile phone. My understanding is that an App is being developed.
Would also like to see enhancements to reporting and more ability to customise reports.

Vorteile

CRIO is the only software that met all of our needs and is open to our suggestions/requests for future developments.The ability to work one on one with team to create/modify workflows and system functionality is excellent, we could not accomplish everything we have without the team.Turn around time for modifications/system questions are always realistic. The system is extremely user friendly both administrative and front-end.

Nachteile

I have no cons regarding CRIO, everything we've added to our "wish list" was completed and is now in Production with little to no issues.

Vorteile

The software offers numerous options for storing information about horses. Each horse's profile can be completed with details on its origins, physical characteristics, training and competitions, travel, dietary needs, breeding, pedigree and inbreeding percentage, shoeing, and others. The information is easy to input and update, and there are automatization features which make data entry very efficient. The program is user-friendly, in that it is thoughtfully designed, intuitive and very easy to learn to use. It is also pleasant to view.

Nachteile

There are some small technical elements that could be improved. For instance, once I view a theoretical pedigree, and then want to go to look at another hypothetical pedigree (cross with another mare, for example), then I cannot just go one step back, but have to start the process of making the hypothetical pedigree from absolute start. The program does not make it easy to switch between horses when looking at the horse's profile. It requires going to the main menu. Also, if duplicates of a reference horse were entered, the program does not allow for easy deletion of the extra horse profile, and replacement with the correct one. Other details, such as automatically placing the cursor in a window to type or autocomplete, would make data entry much more easy. The price is on a high side for anyone who is not a professional breeder.

Vorteile

Cloud based, easy to use, having all my data easy to access from phone, tablet or computer anytime is the best tool

Nachteile

cannot export to excel, otherwise all features are very good

Vorteile

You can enter information for multiple horses at the same time.

Hability to give public access to the information of horses to sell.

Embed information of your horses in my website or share in social media.

Features for each area of my equine business.

Nachteile

I needed some new report types, but they created them for me in a few weeks.
Some other reports are still missing.

Vorteile

I found CRIO after very long research between a lot of Farm solutions. In my opinion its the only product available in 2 languages and with all necessary features. The support is very competent and fast if you have any questions, I can highly recommend Crio for everybody who runs a Farm related to Horses.

Vorteile

Ease of use. Ability to manage all aspects of my herd

Nachteile

Hard to edit from my phone and some of the time the edit screen moves around

Vorteile

Almost everything, I like being able to track health and vaccine records, diets, training records is a big one too! I like the breeding portion of it to manage broodmares. It is very helpful if, like us, you have broodmares, training horses and horses competing to track each horse to its individual needs. Very easy to use at an affordable price!

Nachteile

Only snag I really don't like is the boarding feature is difficult to customize. Once a horse is boarded for a couple months and then canceled that horse cannot be reinstated into boarding later if he returns and he cannot be reactivated.

Vorteile

I like the features it has and how extensive and informative it is

Nachteile

Not much i don’t like there’s a few features I’m
Sure I’m not using properly but still is a great software

Vorteile

As a breeder of quality Warmblood sport horses it is important to us to keep accurate pedigrees and bloodlines of our horses and this software allows us to do so and modify it considerably to our specific needs and requirements.

Nachteile

There are a few little quirks but nothing at all major and these I am sure will be ironed out in future updates as most already have over the years we have been using this.

Vorteile

The software is user-friendly and adaptable to the needs of the clients.

Nachteile

If there is something that is not working, the crio team's leader is very swift and efficent in assisting thus eliminating any stress.

Vorteile

You can keep track of every horse born and the inbreeding percentage.
As an Iberoamerican horse breeder this helps a lot to breed mares with new studs.
Also, I keep track of all the health/pregnancy aspects. Simply love it!

Nachteile

I have no complains, used it on mobile with ease as well as for desktop

Vorteile

Organises the data well, the layout/design is easy to read, can use easily on mobile phone

Nachteile

A little bit slow to load. Also a 'back' or 'return' button would be helpful to get back to the previous page. Finding it takes awhile to get back to pages. Maybe can have more drop down tabs from the top menus? Would be quicker to access information

Vorteile

Week after week you enter and you see some new options or improvements. The last one I found is that you can create QR codes and images to share in instagram or facebook.

Vorteile

Whether you are boarding, breeding or training stable, this software puts your horse information in one easy accessible place.

Nachteile

It would be great if you had an app for a smart phone. My business is largely outside and the app would make info easy more accessible.

Vorteile

The product is amazing.

I just asked a lot of Times for some way thats more easy to see ALL of the weights and heights in the same report.

Nachteile

Nothing. Every thing is OK! Thank you anyway

Vorteile

Simple, reliable, esasy to use and personalized.

Nachteile

Spending lots of time uploading information

Vorteile

I use this software to track horse expenses for tax purposes. I like the ease of finding expenses for a certain period or category.

Nachteile

I only use the expenses section so I feel like I’m paying for a lot of product I don’t need.

Vorteile

Customer service
Detailed or summarized
Professional look
Easy to navigate
Easy to install

Nachteile

You have to manually click for vaccine reminders- but this is easy to work with because I print out a monthly report show7ng sho is due

Vorteile

keeps track of income and expense associated with each horse

Nachteile

My reminder system doesn't work at all. Really wish it would automatically input dollar amount when inventory is used

Vorteile

Ease of use and what you can record for breeding, health and love the extended pedigrees etc

Nachteile

Would like an ap version for some things

Vorteile

It is the complete package for managing my horses.

Nachteile

I cannot wait for them to release an iPad/iPhone app

Vorteile

We have only recently purchased this software for our Standardbred agistment and breeding farm and are still working through all the functions and its capabilities. The support given at every turn has been fast and clear with their instructions. We are very excited going forward in using and learning the many features of this product.

Nachteile

I still don't have enough of an understanding or used enough as yet to have a least.

Vorteile

I love how easy this is to use. I find something new I can do with this program every time I log in. I have yet to find something it CAN'T do.

Nachteile

it can be slow somtimes and lag behind

Vorteile

Ease of use and ability to set up for my business

Nachteile

I haven’t found out anything I dislike about the software this far

Vorteile

What i ike most about this software is its easy of use, the fact that ican easily access the animal's history and relate it to its ancestry and offspring and share it neatly.

Nachteile

I still cant't say that there is something i dislike

Vorteile

At last all our horses are able to be identified easily and the data recorded safely. The support team when your setting up is prompt and very helpful.

Nachteile

We are very satisfied- there are a few variations we’d like added for people like us who have a large number of horses and special needs for Icelandics. They are so helpful I’m sure we can sort this.

Vorteile

All the different functionalities that match my business requirements

Nachteile

invoicing etc doesn't merge with accounting software such MYOB, so have to duplicate invoices

Vorteile

that I can have a detailed record about my horses

Nachteile

Doesn't have a native mobile app. So theres no reminders or alarms. I can only tell if an activity was due if I enter the page and look it up. Reminders or alarms are of the upmost importance

Vorteile

Great work keep it up guys, user friendly and very useful when coming to manage a stable for breeding
I really liked it so far

Nachteile

The Mobil application needs more development

Vorteile

Ease of use tech support response was quick

Nachteile

Missing key functions accounting reports

Vorteile

This software is really user friendly, and love everything we are able to keep track of in one spot.

Nachteile

Nothing, they have added everything we were looking for!

Vorteile

Customer support was always open to suggestions

Nachteile

Needs more implementation of accounting features/reporting

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Very functional, can be used for breeding, training, performance, and expense management. Provides reminders for routine tasks such as de-worming, vaccinations, calculates due dates for brood mares, can add expense information to track expenditures as well.

Occasionally run in to non-English descriptions and areas. Also, not extremely intuitive, but support is very good.

Vorteile

The fact, that it captures all necesities.

Nachteile

It doesnt have an APP available, to use it.

Vorteile

Available info on each horse and access to pedigrees and Registration numbers, Foaling info, and info to access anywhere

It was advertised to do coeffient breeding numbers, and no easy way to download from studbooks pedigrees.
