Understand and anticipate
You have a wide range of analysis modules at hand, assisted by Heidi, the artificial intelligence of the App-écho, to decipher every detail.
3D Interactions
This module rebuilds the real use of space and analyses herd behaviour: occupation rate, area covered, resting places, core of frequentation, day and night rhythms. It feeds your expertise on every front, whether climate adaptation, herd management, predation pressure or economic stakes. Originally designed to understand and face predation situations, it is today the most advanced module in the library.
Expert mode
Once the analysis is computed, you choose the lens. Heidi reads your data again from the angle you asked for, with the eye of the matching profession.
Predation
Spots the crossings, the bearings and the hours of the active nights, and advises where to place cameras and watch posts.
Economy and value
Turns locomotion effort into output, measures how well the pasture is used, and puts a figure on what the risks cost you.
Herd management
Reads the timings, the rotation of resting places and the area actually used, and spots the animals that do not follow the group.
Climate and drought
Reads heat stress and the state of the resource, then suggests what to set up: watering, shade, paddock rotation, turnout times.
CEL, the locomotor energy cost
Animals feed while moving. This module measures the real effort the terrain costs them, day after day, and compares it to their own individual baseline. Three readings overlap: day, night and the full cycle. A rising curve means a pasture running out, a night disturbance, or an animal searching. The signature indicator of the App-écho, born of an in-house formula, the CEL puts welfare and profitability in the same reading.
Ideal for season-long monitoring
Expert mode
Two points of view read the CEL with you: the entrepreneur's and the shepherd's.
Economy and value
Turns locomotion effort into weight gain lost or won, and measures what the pasture really gives back.
Herd management
Links the expense to your paddock and rotation decisions, and spots the animal wearing itself out before it drops behind.
Performances
It is the most used module, and rightly so: it holds the whole farm in one table. Distance covered, locomotion time, elevation climbed, and the conditions in which all of it happened: temperature, pressure, humidity, heat stress index. Below, how activity splits, from rest to at-risk activity. You choose the period, the App-écho recomputes everything, animal by animal. And Heidi reads the table with you: she places each animal against the norm for its species and size, and tells you which one stands out.

Geo-Zones analysis
This module answers a simple question with heavy consequences: who left, who entered, when, and for how long. You click a Geo-Zone on the map, choose the period, and the App-écho establishes every episode: opening time, closing time, duration, coordinates to five decimals. The table copies in one move or exports to PDF, ready to join a file. And Heidi reads the report with you, cross-checking the episodes with the reports from the area and the conditions of the moment, so that you arrive with an explanation, not just with rows.
Ideal for backing up your practices
Module developed within the Valais cantonal programme on livestock guardian dogs.
Herd fidelity
This module continuously measures the distance between one animal and the rest of the group: median distance, P90, P95, and the time spent under thirty, one hundred and three hundred metres. You name the animal to follow, you name the reference group, and the App-écho rules by cycle: day, night, the full twenty-four hours. This is how you see whether a guardian dog really holds its flock or drifts away at night, and how you spot the animal falling behind before losing it. The report copies or exports to PDF.
