Production planning and execution, directly in your browser.

MeatPlan and FoodPlan are advanced planning tools that allow your meat or food manufacturing business to easily optimise and execute operational planning.

Remove the difficulties in planning, complete your plan quicker and receive better information about your production to make more informed decisions, resulting in improved costs, yield and efficiency.

Save time and effort

Remove the difficulties in planning. With MeatPlan and FoodPlan, you only need to import your key data to quickly generate production plans. Create bills of material with hierarchies, move/split/amend orders and quickly balance demand without needing complicated spreadsheets.

Access your planning anywhere

MeatPlan and FoodPlan are accessible entirely in your browser. You can access forecasts, production plans and execution reports from any computer or tablet, even on the shop floor.

Customised to your business

Every business is different. We work with you to understand your specific planning requirements and to customise MeatPlan or FoodPlan to meet your needs. Reporting services are customised so that you have access to data to make the right planning decisions and can monitor your business's performance.
