MEAT SUPPLY CHAIN

The supply chain of meat needs to be timely and efficient due to the perishable nature of meat which can have a significant effect on the quality. The reputation of meat export companies can be impacted if their supply chain is not handled efficiently, and compliance & regulations are not adhered to. This creates a number of issues within the supply chain such as rejection of the product leading to a significant amount of waste and revenue loss. It is essential to attain end-to-end visibility throughout the supply chain for meat and other perishable foods. This can be achieved by ensuring key parameters are tracked.

THE PROBLEM

An upcoming Australian meat export company wanted to track their shipments to ensure the quality of their products and that compliance was being met. Ensuring end-to-end visibility in real-time due to the perishable nature of meat was important for them to ensure immediate action could be taken if any issues arose during the supply chain. When considering various suppliers for the innovative solution, they needed to make sure that the solution would not only work within Australia but globally. Therefore, enabling real-time visibility no matter where their meat would be transported to was imperative for the company.
