The biggest challenge we hear from meat processors is managing the traceability through the disassembly process and costing the items they produce. Meat prices change frequently, so costs can change daily. You may not be able to update your pricing that often, so profitability can vary daily, based on your input costs. Minotaur’s biggest strength for meat processors is our traceability combined with our understanding of how you want to cost your items. In other words, we can track your transition of received items, whether live, hanging, in totes or in cases, into interim and finished goods both for recall and for benefits beyond recall like costing. For primary meat processors, calculating supplier payments and government retirement reporting are two added challenges. Minotaur can read RFID tags and produce the government reporting you need by EDI. Whether you sell by standard weight or catch weight, Minotaur can help you get control of your meat production facility. 27 27
