Know where your mithun is
before you start walking
A GPS ear tag built for animals that roam free across hill country. It checks in on its own every few days. When one does not come home, you tap Find: at its next check-in it switches its GPS on, and the location reaches you on the map and by SMS, even where your phone has no internet.

Three steps, then stop worrying
Fit the ear tag
Clip it into the animal's ear. Kapato links the tag to your account, so only you see your animals.
It checks in by itself
The tag wakes on its own schedule and reports over the mobile network with the GPS off, so the battery lasts. You see each check-in in the app.
Tap Find when one is missing
The tag gets your request at its next check-in, switches its GPS on and reports until you stop it. Each location shows on the map and arrives as an SMS with a map link, so it reaches you with no internet.

Built for the hills, not the farmyard
- Works across the whole hill. It reports over the mobile network, not Bluetooth — you do not have to be anywhere near the animal.
- GPS only when you ask. Day to day it checks in with the GPS off. Ask it to find the animal and, at its next check-in, it switches the GPS on and reports until you stop it.
- A text with a map link. Every location is also sent by SMS, so it still reaches you where your own phone has no internet.
- Instructions wait for it. Send a command while the tag is asleep and it picks it up on its next check-in — nothing is lost.
- Every check-in is kept. See when each animal last checked in and how its battery is doing, and look back over the trail of every search.
- Linked to your account. Kapato pairs each tag with your account when it is fitted, so only you see your animals.

We are vets before we are engineers
The tag came out of veterinary practice, not a lab. We also run mobile vet clinics, animal birth control and farmer training.
