Nofence

Nofence is a Norwegian agritech company (founded 2011, headquartered in Batnfjordsøra, Norway) that produces the world's first commercial virtual fencing system for livestock. Solar-powered GPS collars worn by cattle, sheep and goats keep animals inside virtual pastures that farmers draw on a map, with the collar teaching animals boundaries through audio cues before a mild electric pulse. The system is operated entirely from a mobile app (iOS and Android) and a web portal, communicating over GPS and the cellular network with no base stations or buried wire. Farmers get real-time animal location, boundary/escape push notifications, herd replay, grazing-history and multi-species management. Nofence is a consumer/farmer-facing product: as of this profile it publishes a mobile app and web portal but no public developer API, SDK, or API documentation surface. It is a portfolio company of Speedinvest, added to the API Evangelist network for tracking.

Nofence is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, AgriTech, Livestock, Virtual Fencing, and GPS Tracking.

Nofence’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, and 5 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/nofence: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
