Progressive Beef

Digitizing Forms & Automating Feedlot Compliance Processes to Save Time & Effort

Problem

Progressive Beef was using manual and paper-based processes to perform tasks which were cumbersome and reactive in nature.

Need

They wanted to digitize their operations, such as helping teams and auditors to track feedlots’ productivity and make day to day tasks paperless.

Solution

Audit  & non audit mobile apps, and an admin web app automated data entry processes and helped perform compliance audits smoothly, reducing human error and time to perform tasks.

Understanding the Challenge

Paper-Based Processes Affecting Productivity

Manual workflows and processes were making it increasingly difficult to manage feedlot compliance tasks and adhere to different SOPs.
  • Managing paper-based documentation like SOPs was getting difficult for field workers, as referring back repeatedly was cumbersome.
  • Feedlot managers & supervisors were not able to track the performance of workers and performed tasks in time
  • Conducting audits were time-consuming and costly to keep track of SOP adherence.
  • Manual processes made it next to impossible to trace the meat back to the animal

The Solution

Managing Feedlot Compliance Without the Paperwork

The platform helps Progressive Beef manage feedlot activities, track compliance, and keep audits and records organized across all participating locations.

Task Automation

Digitized forms enable automated task assignment to relevant personnel, with instant alerts for missed tasks to prevent delays.

Record History

All tasks, reviews, and audits are stored digitally, allowing easy access and search by worker, location, and time.

Compliance Audits

Audits use digital checklists by internal and external auditors to evaluate worker performance and ensure compliance procedures are followed.

Workers can complete forms without internet access, with automatic syncing once connectivity is restored in low-bandwidth field conditions.

User Roles

Role-based access is assigned to managers, supervisors, and field workers, ensuring users only access relevant operational information.

Multiple Feed Yards

The system allows Progressive Beef to manage multiple feedlots and their tasks in real time across different locations.

Corrective Actions
