Nofence

Norway · Information Technology & Services

Nofence is a Norwegian agritech company founded in 2011, known for creating the world's first commercially available virtual fencing system for livestock. Their innovative GPS-based digital fence technology allows farmers to manage pastures and herds flexibly through a smartphone app, replacing traditional physical fences. The primary product is a collar equipped with GPS and transmitters, worn by livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats. Farmers can define and adjust pasture boundaries digitally, with the system providing audio warnings and mild electrical impulses to keep animals within these virtual fences. This approach supports natural grazing behavior while ensuring safety. The app also offers real-time GPS tracking, enabling farmers to monitor the location, health, and grazing patterns of their animals. Nofence focuses on enhancing pasture utilization, improving animal welfare, and promoting sustainable agriculture. Their target customers are livestock farmers worldwide, and they currently serve around 1,700 farmers in Norway. The company aims to expand its market share by addressing food security, climate impact, and animal welfare challenges.
