Sync

Page intro

A farm workflow can break when every device becomes a separate island. Android may be used in the field. Windows may be used for review. Another user may need access later. If the data does not move in a clear and controlled way, the farm ends up with multiple versions of the truth.

HerdDeck’s Sync module is designed to keep the device story understandable. It separates local device transfer, cloud sync and real-time multi-device work so farms can choose the level that fits their plan.

Why it matters

Sync is not just a technical feature. It affects trust. Farmers need to know which device has the data, how records move and what kind of workflow the plan supports. Vague sync promises can create confusion. Clear sync levels create better expectations.

HerdDeck treats sync as part of the product structure, not a hidden afterthought.

What the module helps you understand

• How Android and Windows work together
• What Mini local transfer supports
• What Pro Cloud Sync adds
• How Real-time Sync differs from direct transfer
• Which sync workflow fits the farm’s device setup

Mini local transfer

Mini is designed for a simpler device setup. It supports direct local database transfer between one Windows device and one Android device through the supported local transfer workflow. This is not the same as multi-user real-time cloud collaboration, and it should not be described as if it is.

The value is simplicity: one Windows device, one Android device, and a direct transfer model for farms that do not need full cloud collaboration.

Pro Cloud Sync and Real-time Sync

Pro keeps the local device advantages and adds cloud-based sync capabilities. Cloud Sync allows farm data to move through the cloud layer. Real-time Sync is the stronger workflow for multiple devices and accounts working with the same farm data at the same time.

That distinction matters. Cloud Sync and Real-time Sync are related, but not identical. HerdDeck should make both understandable so users know what they are paying for.

Sync without confusion

The goal is not to make sync sound magical. The goal is to make it reliable, understandable and appropriate for the farm’s plan. A small farm may only need local transfer. A growing operation may need cloud and multi-account workflows.

HerdDeck’s sync story is built around that progression.
