Getting Started With DRMS

DRMS products and services are available through our network of DHIA Service Affiliates. Your local affiliate can help you explore available products, answer pricing questions, provide implementation support and connect you with the resources you need to get started.

Pricing Designed for Simplicity and Value

DRMS uses a simplified pricing structure designed to make investments easier to understand while increasing the value delivered to every herd.

All DRMS processing herds receive access to the HerdHQ platform as part of their processing services, providing more tools through a clearer, more predictable pricing model.

Why DRMS Uses This Approach

As a producer-focused, non-profit organization, DRMS is committed to delivering practical tools and long-term value to the dairy industry.

This pricing model helps DRMS:

• Simplify pricing and make herd management investments easier to plan for
• Expand access to decision-support tools like HerdHQ
• Continue investing in product development, customer support, and long-term service to the dairy industry
