Welcome to Halo

Halo, founded in 2002 and proudly based in the Waikato region, played a pivotal role as one of the service providers for Fonterra's MVM rollout. Presently, we extend our support to numerous Fonterra suppliers across the country. A significant advantage of Halo lies in our adaptability, allowing users to scale up their systems to match their evolving on-farm needs. Our extensive suite of monitoring tools covers every aspect of your farm's operations. Click here to view our agri solutions.

Halo has acquired the Vat-Man milk monitoring service previously provided by DTS. You will maintain uninterrupted access to your Vat-Man dashboard and the DTS support team until January 31, 2024.

Effective February 1, 2024, you will access your milk data through the Halo Dashboard by using your existing DTS username and password. You will also access Halo Support from this date onward.

Rest assured that once this process is completed, you will have access to your MVM data from late December 2023.

You will access DTS support until January 31, 2024. Effective February 1, 2024, Halo Support will be your first point of contact for support and assistance. View the Halo Support page here.
