Why Custom Kill and Private Labeling Matters in Meat Processing
Abattoirs offering custom kill and private labeling services are essential to local producers. They provide the processing and packaging needed to bring locally raised meat to stores and farmers’ markets. This sector is experiencing a resurgence as more families choose to buy their meat from local sources.
Yield Reporting
Symphony gives abattoirs the ability to share important lot yield information, giving them the tools to provide transparency back to their producers.
Custom Labeling
Custom labeling enables processors to easily label custom kill products with the producer’s name and logo.
Traceability
End-to-end traceability enables custom kill abattoirs to monitor finished goods production from the moment animals arrive at the barn to when the final products are returned to the producer.
Accounting Integration
Integrating with key accounting programs like QuickBooks and Sage helps prevent invoicing errors and eliminates double entry, streamlining operations.
How Custom Kill and Private Labeling Works
In the office, animal lots are scheduled for receipt from producers. Applicable custom kill and packing fees are assigned to each lot.
Animals arrive at the barn and are placed in pens. Each lot is assigned a unique receiving number for tracking.
Animals are processed through the kill floor. Key data, such as ear tag or tattoo number, weight, attributes, and demerits, is recorded for each animal.
Carcasses are scanned to the cut floor for processing. Finished goods are created and labeled with the producer’s information.
Items are scanned to an order for pickup, ensuring the correct pieces are assigned to the correct orders. Charges are generated based on predetermined fees. Invoicing details are sent directly from Symphony to the accounting system.
