Our mission

Shearvo helps shearing contractors spend less time on logistics and more time in the shed. We build tools for the way shearing actually works: crews on the move, farms booked season after season, and plans that change when it rains.

A contractor's season is made or lost on small details: which crew is where, which farmer has moved their date, and which shearer is owed what. When those details live in a notebook or a group chat, one wet week can undo a month of planning. Our job is to keep that from happening.

What we stand for

Built around real work. We design from how a run actually unfolds, with early starts, long drives between farms, and plans that change overnight, not from a generic calendar.
Clear for everyone involved. Contractors, shearers, and farmers should all be able to see what's happening without chasing a phone call.
Worth the time. Every feature has to save more time than it takes to learn.

Our story

Every shearing season starts the same way: a contractor with a phone full of farmers' numbers, a notebook of dates, and a crew waiting to hear where they're headed next.

Then the weather turns. One wet week can mean rebooking a dozen farms, ringing every shearer, and working out who's owed what from tally books filled in on the shed floor. Contractors were running complex, multi-farm operations from notebooks, group texts, and memory, and paying for it in late nights and missed jobs.

Shearvo started with that simple observation. We set out to put bookings, crews, and pay in one place that works in the shed as well as in the office.
