Generalised Differences
The Mob subscription captures single records and create reports at a group (or mob) level. This includes average weight and total treatments administered to a group.
The Individual Animal Management (IAM) subscription tracks data at an individual animal level, through the use of electronic or visual identification/ear tags (EID & VID). This includes specific weights per animal and specific treatments given to an animal.
Requirements for the IAM Subscription
If considering switching to the IAM subscription you'll need to make sure:
All animals are tagged with identification (EID or VID).
Check if your current Hardware setup is compatible with your AgriWebb Device (iOS vs Android).
Updating Subscription Process
For any questions or interest in changing to a Mob/IAM subscription, you'll need to speak directly to our Support Team. These changes can only be made by our team.
To switch between subscriptions, all animal data (Mob data if moving to IAM or vice versa) will no longer be accessible. Before making the switch, any animal data that you want to retain for recording keeping purposes can be exported as either an excel file or a CSV.
You can export the livestock list and any of the reports. You can also use the date picker or search filter (top left) to find and export all the necessary data.
All other information, even if the subscription is changed, will remain the same including, map (paddocks & landmarks), inventory, tasks, cropping and rainfall reports.
Below are some general resources to take a look at before deciding to make the switch:

Common FAQs
Currently the Mob & IAM subscriptions are seperate and do not communicate, therefore you cannot run both on the same farm at the same time.
