DFO LAUNCHES MILK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH NEW INDUSTRY LOGIN PAGE
from February 2021
by MilkProducer
Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) has launched the second phase of its website redesign—an updated industry website, which includes a comprehensive Milk Management System (MMS) for producers, processors, transporters and DFO staff.
The new platform, which launched in early February 2021, is a web-based system that uses modern software to integrate all aspects of the milk marketing supply chain, including milk collection, billing, payment, quota exchange and invoicing. It offers more flexibility to help producers effectively access their information online.
MMS replaces DFO’s current IT system, including the industry website, login page and producer dashboard.
“When you log in to the system, you will still see the important information you have always had access to, such as test results and milk statements, but it will have a brand new look and feel,” says Murray Sherk, DFO’s board chair in a letter to all producers earlier this year. “We want to reassure you the functionality you have come to depend on will remain in the new MMS, and the platform has been improved to support future growth.”
The letter also detailed how producers can pre-register for MMS to ensure continued access to DFO’s online systems. For those who do not have access to the Internet, DFO hosted a telephone town hall meeting to allow DFO staff to explain the login process and features of the new platform.
Those who require assistance with MMS can call the support centre at 1-866-517-2326 or email mmssupport@milk.org.
