The article presents a computer-aided tool for quality management support, on the example of a farm involved in breeding cattle. The motivation for a tool to support farm management was the need to standardize the documentation including different types of records, discrepancies and to facilitate the archiving process. The project was developed in an Excel spreadsheet, with the principle of the most user-friendly interface between the user and the used support tool. The advantage of the project is the possibility to use it analogically in other farming industries, and the possibility of tool expansion, possible by adding modules depending on particular requirements of the farmer. The main reason to address the issue presented in the article is the lack of applicable IT solutions that would support farmers in farm management, and the willingness to show that a huge step may be done easily, as regards improvement in work, raising its quality and time-saving.
