Food & beverage plants

Know where the yield went before the deductions arrive.

Shorts caught before the truck leaves, not on the remittance.

For produce coolers, fresh-cut and packing plants, and blenders running many products on a few lines. The food safety records are kept because they have to be; the hours in the cooler, the changeovers, and the deductions mostly are not. We draw the plant as a Frame on the records you already keep and mark what nobody counts as dark instead of zero. It writes nothing back: the food safety plan and the traceability records stay where they are.

Where the week goes

  • Nobody can say how long product sat in the cooler before it was cut.
  • Changeovers go on the shift sheet as down time, never by cause.
  • Customers take deductions off the remittance, and nobody totals them.
