About Us
Fosse Data Systems was established in 1982 as the first company to offer a fully digital show service to the world of dogs. Our philosophy is "let the machine do the work", taking away the drudgery of completing time-consuming and repetitive tasks. We have proudly supported the countries premier dog show - Crufts since 1999 helping to innovate with cutting edge technologies such as iPads in the ring during COVID.
Fosse Data is managed by staff with many years' experience of working with dog show societies, many of whom are themselves actively involved in the exhibition of dogs and the organisation of dog shows.
We are constantly updating our technologies and services, innovating with new ideas to optimise and streamline through the entire process of organising and running a show. As a result, you will discover that the quality and efficiency of our service are second to none.
A small snapshot of key milestones in our history are shown below.
Our new website goes live with new features for entrants and a revamped area for Societies to access their show's details.
SKC becomes the first society to run two big shows on the same day with both utilising iPads to speed up the entering of results.

Midland Counties becomes the first show outside of Crufts to start using iPads to enter results in real time at the ringside.
Kathy Moores retires as Managing Director and the company is acquired by Ed Casey and brothers Mark and Paul Reynolds.
Societies start using our online results portal, allowing them to enter show results themselves from the show.
Our new website goes live - making the entry process easier for entrants as well as streamlining workflow within the Fosse Data office - allowing us to provide an even better service to societies and entrants.
We also were the first company to allow show results to be entered onto iPads directly in the ring at Crufts - making results pretty much real time to people browsing our website from home.
