Transforming meat production with automated traceability and providing complete visibility from ranch to table.
Manual processes and spreadsheets made cattle tracking inefficient, leading to data gaps and difficulties in retagging lost RFID tags. This also created challenges in maintaining health records and overall traceability.
To stay competitive, they required a digital solution to efficiently manage data across the entire value chain. By adopting digital tools, they aimed to optimize their processes and make data-driven decisions.
The web application provided the client with complete visibility over the cattle in the fields, enabling them to manage traceability across all processes from ranch to table.
This premium meat producer is a vertically integrated business involved in every stage of the “ranch to table” process—from cattle ranching and feeding to slaughtering and processing. Renowned for delivering high-quality beef, their products are served at America’s finest restaurants and leading retailers. With a strong global presence, they export premium beef to over 30 countries, ensuring superior quality, traceability, and sustainability in every cut.
Hanor Farms faced several operational hurdles due to outdated, manual systems. The reliance on paper-based processes and spreadsheets limited efficiency and overall productivity. These challenges became increasingly evident as the company grew. Here's a closer look at the key obstacles they faced:
Key Challenges:
Key features and offerings included:
Enabled seamless tracking, retagging, and purchase management of RFID tags, reducing data inconsistencies.
Allowed field workers to input data without internet access, ensuring continuous data collection and accuracy.
Designed a cron job system to auto-assign cattle to specific programs based on predefined conditions.
Developed a centralized dashboard with advanced reporting for breeding, calving, and operational insights.
Delivered a fully integrated solution with comprehensive training to ensure smooth adoption and optimal utilization.
The traceability solution provided the client with real-time visibility into the progress and productivity of each ranch and location. This complete transparency at every process stage accelerated operations and enabled the client to take timely, informed actions. The solution added significant value to the client's business in the following ways:
By digitizing and automating most processes, the solution significantly reduced the time and effort required by workers, simplifying operations and improving overall efficiency.
The system now automatically validates data upon entry, eliminating the need for manual checks. Pre-set validation ranges ensure that only accurate, reliable information is recorded.
The client can now monitor cattle's health and performance more effectively. The system identifies behavioral patterns that signal physical or mental abnormalities and highlights top-performing cattle and ranches.
All critical information is now stored and managed from a single, centralized dashboard, simplifying access and improving decision-making.

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.
"The team has done a tremendous job from testing and deploying our DAX applications to go live. They have also helped develop a reusable pattern for scheduling processes used by multiple workers. We will definitely continue to lean on folio3 for future support of these applications."
Folio3 has been an outstanding NetSuite implementation partner, excelling in complex integrations across our business units. Their expertise, innovative solutions, and responsive, supportive team make them truly impressive.
