Connecting to BCMS (UK)

Easily connect your BCMS account with AgriWebb

Updated over a week ago

Connecting your BCMS account with AgriWebb is an important first step for livestock farmers in the United Kingdom. Once connected you can import your animals directly into your AgriWebb account.


What are the correct credentials?

First and foremost, you will need to ensure you have the correct account credentials. Please note that these are not the same credentials that you use for CTS Online. BCMS requires specific farm software logins such as the CTS Web Services credentials, which may differ from regular usernames or email addresses. Users unfamiliar with farm software logins should contact BCMS for assistance.

Correct Credentials:

CTS Web Services username

CTS Web Services password

What do they look like?

Username - 9 characters, e.g. 258-174-110

Password - 7 characters, e.g. 5LG3LN7

They are specific to partners such as AgriWebb, and can only be obtained via request from the BCMS. If you do not have these credentials for your farm, you will need to request these from the BCMS directly. Additionally, ensure that connecting your AgriWebb account to BCMS does not disrupt any other software linked to your BCMS account. Compatibility should be confirmed prior to establishing a connection.
