Cactus Feeders’ existing solution, based on KENDO, was very slow and complex in managing operational procedures that affected productivity and caused delays in performing tasks.
Cactus Feeders wanted to speed up operational processes such as entering and managing data to reduce time to perform tasks and enhance user experience by using updated set of technologies.
Folio3 revamped and upgraded the existing systems to boost up productivity and to enhance user experience across the value chain.
One of the largest beef and pork producers in the US, the company stands by its mission of feeding a hungry world while staying sustainable. With one out of every 25 cattle being fed by Cactus Feeders, they produce more than 12 million pounds of beef as well as more than 2 million pounds of pork, which amounts to over 56 million meals every week!
The client wanted to modernize an existing legacy system software that was impacting performance and slowing down their pig farming processes from breeding and gestation to grow-finish. The current system they had was challenging them in the following ways:
After identifying challenges faced by users, we prioritized key improvement areas in design and technology, defined user roles, and followed an incremental approach to modernize the solution.
Keeping the client’s need for a modern solution in mind, we developed wireframes focused on design revamp, creating visually appealing interfaces with thoughtful use of colors, images, and icons.
Our development team then incorporated the structural as well as design changes and upgraded the existing system across all business functions and operations.
We migrated data to a new responsive solution, integrated it with the backend, and guided the client through technology and UI changes to support smooth adoption across users.
The solution enabled the client to manage pork group activities, including grading sheets, barn records, inventory tracking, and mortality monitoring, more efficiently.
The solution supported automation of feed orders and sample management through FastAPIs, reducing manual effort and improving consistency in feed-related operations.
Advanced capabilities were introduced to manage shipment settlements, cull sales, and import processes, improving visibility and control across sales-related activities.
New features enabled tracking of weaned pig placements, feed transfer exports to NAV, and management of live haul and feed trucking operations.
The solution enabled automated data entry for animal enrollment, feeding, and farrowing, along with error correction, research trials, and sow treatment history tracking.
With a team-based engagement, our team helped the client overcome hurdles and manage modernization across all the departments and operations.
We helped configure their departments and functions and ensured that the solution was easy to use and led the client to streamline their operations.
The changes in the solution added value to the client’s business in the following ways:
The overall performance showed improvement across the organization with better communication among teams.
Security protocols within the organization were improved.
Boost in efficiency because of 80-90% increase in speed of the application and reduction in time lags and delays
User experience improved by a very high margin, which automatically led to an increase in productivity.
