New “Smart” Website Launched

20 January 2011

Communication is a key component at Waikato Stud and to enhance our clients’ experience we have developed, in conjunction with our management software provider Ardex Technology, a new state of the art website.

“In designing this website we have included some “smarts” that will assist you in receiving relevant, timely and useful information that will support you in breeding or purchasing that next champion.” said stud-master Mark Chittick.

The website has the capacity to allow “private access” to clients so that they can view specific information relating to their current status and future opportunities.

The website has inbuilt video streaming functions that will allow us to deliver regular and relevant updates on the events that shape our business and our industry.

Over the next few months and moving into the 2011 breeding season we will introduce you to these new smart functions. In the meantime please enjoy the site and we welcome your feedback.

No Corner last week; this week the Annual Thoroughbred Racing Awards night certainly deserves acknowledgment. It is the second of two nights of measurement of Thoroughbred achievements for the year, with the first focussing on our Breeders’ awards.
