Traceability
Every kilo knows which pallet it came from.
Every delivery off the truck becomes a lot: supplier, kilos, cost and use-by, about thirty seconds at the coolroom door. From there it's automatic. Sales draw from the oldest lot first, and the cost of that exact pallet is captured at the moment of draw. Nobody scans twice, nobody keeps a book.
Receiving
Thirty seconds at the door. That's the whole job.
Traceability systems fail because they ask too much of a person with cold hands and a truck waiting. Opsider asks for one entry, once, at the coolroom door. Everything after that happens on its own.
One delivery, one lot, one screen.
The truck backs in. You key the supplier, the product, the kilos, the cost and the use-by, and hit Create lot. That's BRI-20260804 on the wall, and the last time anyone types anything about that pallet.
- Recorded once, at the door. No barcodes to print first, no second pass at a desk after smoko.
- Nothing scanned twice. The lot follows the stock through picking, packing and invoicing by itself.
- Plays nicely with purchasing. If the delivery is against a PO, receiving ticks it off line by line as you go.
One entry at the door. The pallet is traceable for life.
Oldest first
The draw is automatic. So is the truth about cost.
When 12 kilos of brisket go on an order, Opsider takes them from the oldest open lot first and costs the line at what those exact kilos cost you. No averages, no guesses, no surprise at stocktake.
One line, two lots, true cost.
Here the old lot covers 8 kilos and this morning's pallet covers the rest. Two buy prices, one honest line cost, worked out at the moment of draw and carried all the way to margin.
- Oldest first, every time. Stock rotates itself, and the back corner of the coolroom stops being a retirement home.
- Cost captured at the draw. The line knows its cost the second it's picked, not at month end.
- Lots print on the invoice. Your customer's docket shows exactly which lots each line drew from.
Two pallets, one line, and a cost that's actually true.
The coolroom on screen
Walk the coolroom without opening the door.
Every open lot is a tile, coloured by freshness. Green is fine, amber is close, red is today. The amber ones become tomorrow's special before they become Thursday's shrink.
The wall tells you what needs selling.
You see trouble from across the room, or from the couch at 9pm. Each tile is a real pallet with real kilos on hand, not one blended stock number pretending everything arrived on the same day.
- Freshness at a glance. Green, amber, red. Use-by dates do the sorting so you don't have to lift a box to read a label.
- Kilos per lot, not per product. 51.5 kg of last week's brisket and 120 kg of today's are two different problems.
- Amber becomes a special. One tap starts a time-boxed markdown to the customers who actually buy it.
The wall at 6am, and where a recall starts.
One-tap recall
When the supplier calls, you answer in seconds, not days.
A recall used to mean a weekend of dockets, a highlighter and a sick feeling. Name the lot and Opsider surfaces every customer who received any of it, then drafts the notices. The auditor gets their answer before their coffee goes cold.
-
Name the lot
Type BRI-20260731, or tap the tile on the coolroom wall. That's the whole search. No binder, no torch, no praying the intern filed the dockets in order.
-
Every buyer surfaces
Every customer, delivery and docket that carried a kilo of it, including where a carcase was broken down into cuts along the way. Nothing hides inside a breakdown.
-
Notices drafted
A recall notice per customer, with products, quantities and delivery dates filled in. You read, you send, you get on with the day. The same records feed your audit pack.
Profit per pallet
Some pallets earn their keep. Now you know which.
Lot Profitability shows what each lot cost, what it sold for, and what walked out the back as trim. It's a report your competitors cannot produce, because their systems never knew which pallet the kilo came from.
Cost, sales and trim, lot by lot.
Because every sale drew from a known lot at a known price, margin isn't an estimate smeared across the month. It's a number per pallet, and some of those numbers will sting the first time you see them.
- Real cost, not averaged. The draw recorded which kilos went where and what they cost.
- Trim counted, not shrugged at. The kilos that never made an invoice show up against their lot.
- The red rows are the point. A lot that lost money says so, plainly. You buy differently next week.
The pork belly sat too long. The report says so out loud.
