- Connecting animals, keepers, industry, and government through state of the art multi-species traceability and dedicated expert support.
Who We Are
Delivering excellence in livestock traceability with a human touch.
Developed and co-ordinated by the Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society (SAOS) in partnership with the Scottish Government and key industry stakeholders, ScotEID serves as Scotland’s central digital livestock traceability hub.
We bridge the gap between physical farming and digital innovation. By designing and operating state of the art data systems to the highest standards, we connect livestock, keepers, marts, processors, and government bodies across Scotland. Because our team lives, works, and draws its sense of purpose directly from the agricultural community we serve, we deliver industry leading technological solutions grounded in real-world understanding and approachable, responsive support.
Mission and Vision
Our Mission
We provide innovative multi-species traceability and responsive expert support. This delivers the accurate, timely data that keepers, industry and government need to protect animal and human health, streamline compliance and safeguard market access.
Our Vision
We will unlock unrivalled disease resilience through excellence in livestock traceability. This will underpin a safe, healthy and sustainable livestock industry and thriving rural communities.
We will be the digital hub connecting animals, keepers, industry and government. We will design and operate state-of-the-art systems to the highest standards of excellence whilst continuously improving our operations.
We will deliver excellence with a human touch, recognising that we are more effective because we draw our sense of purpose from the community we serve, live in, and work within.
Our Core Values
Our values guide everything we do—from how we build our software and handle critical data, to how we answer the phone when a keeper needs support.
- 🛡️ Integrity – We speak plainly and clearly, we are honest about what we know and what we do not, and we focus on the outcome. The data we hold is valuable and consequential, so accuracy and accountability are central to how we work.
- 💡 Ingenuity – We find elegant, practical solutions to complex problems. Our systems are designed by people who understand farming, which is why they fit the way the industry works. We make the case for change when it is needed.
- 🤝 Respect – We treat colleagues and customers with fairness, compassion and empathy. We listen to the facts and are mindful of the context before we respond. We recognise contribution, achievement and expertise. Everyone gets the same helpful and approachable response.
