Segments
The company operates in two business segments, Animal Identification, which includes the operations of Destron Fearing; and Emergency Identification, which includes the operations of Signature.
Animal Identification Segment
This segment develops, manufactures, and markets visual and electronic identification tags and implantable radio frequency identification (RFID) microchips, primarily for identification, tracking and location of companion pets, livestock (cattle and hogs), horses, fish and wildlife worldwide for animal bio-sensing applications, such as temperature reading for companion pet and livestock applications.
This segments principal products are visual and electronic ear tags for livestock; and implantable microchips and RFID scanners for the companion pet, livestock, horses, fish and wildlife industries.
The Animal Identification segment consists of Destron Fearings operations located in Minnesota and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including DSD Holding A/S and Destron Fearing A/S and its subsidiaries, which have operations in Denmark and Poland (collectively referred to as Destron Fearing A/S); and Digital Angel International, Inc. and its subsidiaries located in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The company holds patents on its syringe-injectable microchip for use in animals. Each microchip is individually inscribed and programmed to store a permanent 10 to 16-digit alphanumeric identification code. The companys patented Bio-Thermo implantable microchip product provides temperature readings of animals by passing an RFID handheld scanner over the animal or by having the animal walk through a portal scanner.
The companys pet identification and location system involves the insertion of a microchip, with identifying information, in the animal. Scanners located at animal shelters, veterinary clinics and other locations can determine the animals owner and other information.
The companys miniature RFID microchips are also used for the tagging of fish, especially salmon, for identification by biologists and governments in environmental programs and studies, migratory studies and other purposes.
In addition to pursuing the market for permanent identification of companion animals and tracking microchips for fish, the company also produces visual and RFID identification products, for livestock producers. The tracking of cattle and hogs is crucial to provide security both for asset management and for disease control and food safety.

In 2009, the company introduced the DTR-4 handheld reader enhancing the feature set of the already DTR-3 reader. Useful in cattle, swine, and equine applications, the display provides the user with the ability to see tag data without having to communicate with a host computer.
The company also introduced in 2009 its Rapid Response program, where customers can place orders for identification tags in the morning and it would ship that same afternoon, eliminating long waiting periods when tags are urgently needed.

SWOT Analysis
SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.
Enhanced SWOT Analysis
Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:
- How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
- How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?
Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.
PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.
Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.
Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:
- Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
- Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
- Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
- Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
- Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
- Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?
IFE, EFE, IE Matrices
The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.
The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.
The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.
Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.
Porter Five Forces Analysis
The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:
- What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
- Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
- What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
- How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
- How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?
VRIO Analysis
VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:
- Tangible resources
- Financial
- Physical
- Technological
- Organizational
- Intangible resources
- Human
- Innovation and Creativity
- Reputation
- Organizational capabilities
The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:
- Valuable?
- Rare?
- Costly to imitate?
- Organized properly?
