Abaserve offers inventory control software that is designed and coded specifically for abattoirs. It is a SQL/multi-platform based software package that includes features for costing, sales, and accounting. Our software is suitable for both large and small businesses in the meat distribution industry.

Abaserve is robustly engineered to meet the inventory control and accounting needs of the meat industry. It is capable of managing various aspects such as carcass weight losses, multiple units of measure, grading, branding, and mass groups, along with accurate stock lists by serial number or consolidated. It also allows for gross profit calculations by period, supplier of brands, and delivery planning and control.

Abaserve offers total traceability capabilities to help businesses comply with new mandates and changing consumer preferences. It assures that the carcasses maintain their unique identity and traceability. We utilise the latest technologies such as barcodes and RFID to provide the best solutions from the feedlot to the abattoir. Abaserve can be used with handheld PDAs to verify the correct products, brands, mass groups, and quantities have been picked against each customer order.

Abaserve features batch control with supplier, origin, brand, and breed, live mass control with RFID or ear tag capturing for traceability back to the feedlot, carcass properties captured including mass, grade, conformation, brand, mass group, and any damages or sick codes. It records carcasses with a unique serial number and barcode for identification by the next process or customer for complete identification and traceability.

Settlement statements are based on a price list matrix with a bonus system from brands and penalties for bruising and measles. The software includes a fifth-quarter capturing or calculation on standards, a packing module to pack and label offal, gross profit, and traceability reports by batch or period based on purchase or sales period. Stock and stock aging reports are available by grade, brand, and mass group.

Overall, our software offers state-of-the-art traceability both backwards and forwards and meets and exceeds government regulations for easy tracing.

Carcasses sent to the deboning plant undergo a scanning process to provide traceability information back to their origin. The scanning also records the date and time the carcass was slaughtered and received. The inputs and outputs are reconciled. The deboned product is then packed and labeled with relevant information including:

• Description of the product
• Product code
• Barcode containing traceability information
• Production date and time
• Traceability code/batch number
• Origin and plant number
• Sell-by date

Moreover, the product that is invoiced is also scanned to create a detailed traceability record for each individual product.

Our Point of Sale system offers fast and efficient transactions with:

• Labeling using retail scales to ensure that prices are automatically updated
• Automatic integration of the drawer and slip printer
