Food Industries Served

VictualNet proudly serves the meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese, provisions, specialty/artisan, full service and broad line and produce industries

Meat and Poultry: A large number of variable (catch) weight items, and frequent use of multiple units of measure, make meat and poultry companies ideal for VictualNet.  Distributors should be aware of our SWAMI module’s bar code scanning and weighing capability while processors should look at the fully integrated scale.

Fish and Seafood: Similar concerns apply as with meat and poultry companies, but often with even faster turn around time on inventory items.  In addition to SWAMI, market costing and customizable price lists are key features to managing a fish and seafood business with VictualNet

Cheese: Cheese distributors and processors face a mix of high cost per pound artisan cheeses and high volume bulk cheeses.  In either case, mistakes on pricing and shipping can destroy profitability.  Broken case up charges come into play for companies willing to break a wheel or pull eaches from a case.

Provisions: Catch weights and high volume, high price per pound options are critical here.  Frequently with a high percentage of bar-coded products these companies can benefit tremendously from a scanner only SWAMI package, often not needing a scale.

Specialty/Artisan: Some of the highest cost per pound and cost per each items found in the food industry.  Artisan and specialty stores cannot afford any mistakes in order entry or shipping.  On-screen order history during order entry provides the customer with excellent customer service and assures you’re making the order out with the proper items. Shipping verifications sheets and automated shipping with SWAMI make sure what they ordered is what you send. As with all of our other verticals served, accurate perpetual inventory through VictualNet helps control shrink and other warehouse issues.

Full-Service and Broadline: Broadliners do it all, so they face all the problems.  With an expanded number of items to choose from the chances for errors increase during order entry, picking, shipping, and catch weight capture.  Broadliners are also often held to exacting requirements by their larger customers.  Catch up, then move ahead of the curve with fax and e-mail ready invoices.

Produce: High volume, multiple unit of measure, catch weights and quick turnover are hallmarks of the produce industry.  VictualNet’s easy order entry and customizable item specifications are ideal for quickly entering in orders and noting country of origin and farm of origin.
