Read what our clients say about their experiences and the difference our solutions have made for them.
We were extraordinarily pleased with the functionality and depth of understanding that Folio3's solution exhibited after a relatively brief but incisive, project kickoff meeting. Folio3 ``gets it`` from the start, relieving us from tedious development discussions drawn out over a long period of time.
Folio3 impressed me by learning a BI tool they did not have prior experience with and in a short amount of time produced analysis reports ready for business consumption. We are excited on the next set of critical reports Folio is working on for us and expect the relationship to continue for the foreseeable future.

Most food ERPs handle beef as a variant of generic process manufacturing. That creates real problems, catch weight transactions that round incorrectly, yield tracking that stops at the finished goods level, and compliance workflows that require manual documentation on top of the system. Our beef processing software is configured around the actual operational structure of beef, carcass disassembly, primal yield variance, USDA inspection records, and cold chain lot control, so these are not workarounds.
We implement beef management software on two enterprise platforms, Oracle NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Both are globally proven, cloud-based ERP foundations with strong financial management, supply chain, and compliance capabilities.
Yes. Our beef traceability software supports forward and backward traceability from live animal intake through slaughter, fabrication, packaging, warehousing, and fulfillment. Processors can trace finished products, trim lots, co-products, and shipments back to the originating carcass, supplier lot, or ranch source.
Catch weight is not an add-on feature in our system; it is foundational to how inventory, costing, and order management work. Every transaction that involves a variable-weight beef product, receiving a carcass, recording a primal cut, picking a customer order, generating an invoice, captures and carries the actual weight from the scale. Your inventory valuation reflects real weights. Your customer invoices bill on the actual shipped weight. Your yield analysis compares real recovered weight against the theoretical BOM yield. No averaging, no approximation, no manual entry required.
Yes. Our beef management software supports multi-entity, multi-facility operations with intercompany inventory transfers, consolidated financial reporting, and cross-facility production planning, all in one platform. Whether you are running a primary processing plant, a secondary fabrication facility, and a distribution center as separate entities, or as one vertically integrated business, the system maintains lot traceability and financial accountability across all locations.
Implementation timelines depend on the complexity of your operation, the number of facilities, and the degree of integration required with existing systems, scales, scanners, labeling equipment, EDI trading partners, and third-party logistics providers. For a single-facility beef processor, implementations typically run between three and six months. More complex multi-entity operations or those requiring significant data migration from legacy systems run longer. We structure every implementation with a phased approach, so your team is going live on core production and compliance workflows before tackling the full scope.
Yes. Our beef software is built to connect with the hardware your plant floor already runs on, platform scales, in-motion weigh systems, RFID readers, barcode scanners, and weigh-label printers from major manufacturers. Weight data flows directly from the scale into the ERP transaction, eliminating manual entry and the transcription errors that come with it. Labels are generated automatically with actual weights, lot numbers, use-by dates, COOL information, and customer-specific formats, triggered from the production workflow without a separate labeling system.
Further processing introduces a different set of ERP requirements, recipe and formula management, fat percentage controls for ground beef programs, allergen and additive tracking for marinated or seasoned products, and batch traceability that links every finished SKU back through its ingredient lots to the originating carcasses. Our beef processing software handles all of this natively, including co-product and by-product costing, packaging specification management per customer, and nutritional data integration for label compliance. Whether you are running a branded ground beef program or a custom marination operation, the formulation integrity and batch control are built into your production workflow.
Retail and food service customers, particularly large grocery chains and national food service distributors, are increasingly requiring FSMA 204-compliant traceability records, GS1 labeling, and EDI transaction accuracy as conditions of doing business. Our beef traceability software maintains the lot-level records that customers require, generates GS1-compliant labels at the point of packaging, and supports EDI 850, 856, and 810 transactions for automated order confirmation, advance ship notice, and invoicing. When a customer requests a traceability audit or a recall-related lot investigation, your team can respond with complete, accurate records without disrupting plant operations.
Our relationship with beef processing clients does not end at go-live. We provide ongoing support covering system optimization, additional module rollouts, ERP platform upgrades on NetSuite and Dynamics 365, and enhancements as your operation grows or your regulatory environment changes. Several of our longest-standing clients, including operations in the Agri Beef network, have worked with Folio3 FoodTech across multiple projects over many years, expanding from initial ERP implementation into quality management digitization, traceability system enhancements, and eCommerce integration. That continuity of partnership is something we consider a core part of what we deliver.
