now. I just review the management reports, which offer superior visibility into all
aspects of my business.”
Through Minotaur’s live costing
capability, Halenda’s determined
that a smoke house at a newly
purchased facility was not working optimally by using the yield
data he collected on the items at
his main location. By integrating a
scale system at his smoke house,
he could track exactly where the
process was faltering. This enabled
Halenda’s to immediately be proactive and correct the problems
that were creating the shrinkage.
Fixing the shrinkage issue meant
better accuracy, higher profits
and satisfied customers.
In fact, Halenda’s is currently planning to further expand their system
by integrating a new time and attendance application to their
payroll. They are confident that
Minotaur will execute this new application smoothly.
It is not surprising that
Halenda’s Meats continues to win
industry product awards and also
received the prestigious Meat Industry Achievement Award in
2011. Halenda’s Meats is doing
more than a few things right!
Although Halenda’s manufacturing company is separate
from its distribution company,
both companies require the same
customer order information. Minotaur’s EDI support facilitates intercompany data exchange, eliminating the need for additional
scanning or data entry. This represented a huge labour savings.
Halenda’s now has a solution for ‘risk mitigation’ that has
the ability to trace any and all
products, and addresses government requirements regarding recall audits. This is an invaluable
tool for meat processing/
distribution companies.
“The Minotaur Solution has
provided us the confidence to grow and expand that we didn’t have
before. Minotaur really
