Custom Software Solution for Meat Processing Industry

Abstract of Meat Processing Packaging Automation

Space-O Technologies has designed and developed a comprehensive meat processing and packaging suite, including Admin Portal, Customer Portal, Kill Room Portal, and Shopfloor Portal. This complete suite is specially developed for North America-based meat processing company to manage and streamline the whole process of meat production and processing, packaging, and preservation.

Using this comprehensive suite, the company automates the entire process of meat production and packaging from carve cuts to packaged and delivered to customers. In fact, the admin of the business tracks all the orders along with their status at one single platform. Moreover, the customer portal allows customers to place a new order, check the status of the current order, and check other details as well.

Before we talk more about this complete suite and its solutions, let’s give a quick look at the meat processing industry of Canada and what is the current process that meat processing companies follow.

Our Client’s Meat Processing Company Work Flow

Moving ahead, let’s talk about our client’s meat processing and packing company was handling the entire process from meat production & processing, packaging to preserving:

Across Canada, there are thousands of meat processing companies and startups that are managing meat manufacturing, processing, and packing operation manually. Whether it is about warehouse and freezer management, multiple units of measure, or traceability, the companies are manually following the entire process.

When it comes to record customers’ data and requirements, our client’s meat processing company used to maintain paper-based forms and manually enter the data in the excel sheet. In the excel sheet, the company created different sections, including animal processing data, customers’ data, packing data and shipments and prefer to update this sheet on regular basis.

Different Problems Meat Processing Companies Are Facing

The employees of the company, including inspectors to trained butchers, meat cutters, and packers were manually filling information about the orders in the excel sheet.

Admins used to maintain paper-based forms for customer’s data, orders, and specific requirements like custom or fabrication, bag & box label, logotype and additional description.

Once employees were generating paper-based reports and forms of customer’s requirements, then they were manually filling this data and information in the excel sheet that takes huge time of employees.

Many a time, excel sheet created confusion among employees and the team spent maximum time and effort in maintaining these sheets.

In short, this entire process that meat processing company was following was not reliable, and there was no strong evidence like customers’ requirements that they describe while placing an order.

In fact, the company doesn’t have any system or solution to track all the orders, labelling and their status at one single platform. It manually tracks all the orders and their status to update the admin.

Even, there was a lot of communication gap among different departments of the company like animal production & processing department, packaging department, and preservation department.
