Turn Every Weigh-In into Profit with Catch Weight Control

Use catch weight management software to gain complete control over variable-weight products, ensuring precise data flow between weighing, costing, production, and financial systems.

Revenue Accuracy and Fair Pricing

Charge for every kilogram you produce, not estimates. Catch weight software helps processors capture true sale weights and stop profit leakage from variable products.

Know the real cost of every batch. Actual recorded weights ensure your inventory reflects trimming, moisture loss, and real yield.

See where product loss happens. Track raw and finished weights to identify shrinkage in cutting, cooking, or packaging before it hurts your margins.

Show your buyers the numbers they can trust. Verified shipment weights and invoices eliminate disputes and strengthen relationships with retailers and distributors.

Price your products the way you sell them. Catch weight software supports per-weight, per-case, and blended pricing, keeping every contract accurate and profitable.

Turn every gram into revenue. Compare expected versus actual weights to catch overfills, production loss, and waste before it becomes margin loss.

An Executive Guide to ERP-Enabled Catch Weight Management

Every carcass, block, and carton holds its own value, yet most systems still treat them as averages. Between the plant floor and financial books, small inconsistencies grow into unseen profit loss. The more precisely you weigh, the more accurately you perform. So, how much value could your operation recover with true catch weight control?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is catch weight software, and how does it support dual units of measure from receiving through invoicing?

Software for managing catch weight allows processors to manage products sold by both a fixed unit (like cases) and a variable unit (like weight). It records both measures simultaneously, so when a pallet is received, produced, or shipped, the ERP captures total cases and their actual combined weight. This ensures costing, pricing, and inventory all reflect real product data rather than averages.

Food ERP by Folio3 FoodTech automatically links the ordered quantity to the actual shipped weight by integrating live scale data at every stage. When the product is weighed, the system recalculates totals and applies accurate pricing based on the verified catch weight.

A robust ERP connects directly with floor scales, inline weighers, and label printers to capture and record real-time product weights. Integration with WMS and shop floor systems ensures those readings automatically update production orders, inventory counts, and outbound documentation.

List products online by a consistent unit, like “price per pound”, while clearly displaying average case weight ranges. When the order ships, your ERP captures the exact catch weight from the scale and automatically recalculates the invoice total. This keeps storefront pricing transparent while ensuring customers pay only for the actual weight delivered.

Folio3 FoodTech ERP assigns a unique GS1 barcode to each case, embedding both the lot or batch ID and its actual catch weight. As products move through production and distribution, each scan automatically updates ERP records with verified weight and trace data. This ensures processors can trace back any case to its origin, production line, and shipment details in seconds.

It depends on your operation’s flow. “Weigh at pick” works well for pre-packed products with stable weights, while “weigh at pack” fits fresh-cut or portioned items. Many processors use a final weigh-and-label step for accuracy, ensuring the last recorded weight drives the invoice, shipment, and traceability data.

Operations teams rely on yield, shrink, and production variance reports to track where weight is gained or lost. Finance needs margin-per-pound, freight-by-weight, and cost-to-serve reports to see how variability impacts profitability. A strong catch weight ERP connects both, linking operational weights directly to financial outcomes.

Each case label pulls real weight data from the ERP and embeds it alongside mandatory details like nutrition facts, allergens, and lot numbers. The system prints compliant labels automatically as soon as the product is weighed and packed. This reduces labeling errors and ensures every shipment meets regulatory and retailer requirements.

The ERP captures input weights at every stage, from raw intake to finished packs, and compares them against output data. Moisture loss, trim, and rework are recorded automatically, giving processors a live view of actual yield performance. This lets costing reflect the real product weight, not assumptions, for accurate margins and process control.
