Core Capabilities

Built for the Counter,
Not Retrofitted.

Every feature designed around how a real butchery operates, from carcass intake to customer sale.

scale

Scale Integration

Direct interface with trade-approved scales from Digi, Mettler Toledo, and CAS. Weight captures automatically into the transaction, with zero manual entry and zero pricing errors.

content_cut

Cut & Product Tracking

Track individual cuts, offcuts, and mince batches against their source primal or carcass. Record trim waste by cut type (rump, sirloin, brisket) so you know exactly what came in, what sold, and what was lost at every station.

recycling

Waste Management

Capture trim losses and processing yields against each carcass in real time. Shrinkage reports break down waste by cut type and staff member, so you can identify whether the problem is a specific cut, a process, or a shift, and act before it compounds into serious margin loss.

thermostat

Cold Chain Compliance

Temperature monitoring integration keeps your cold storage records audit-ready. Expiry date tracking on every product ensures full regulatory compliance at all times.

storefront

Multi-Counter Operations

Serve counter, pre-pack line, and wholesale desk all on one SQL database. Each counter has its own scale and printer, and managers get one unified performance view.

barcode_scanner

Barcode & Label Printing

Print GS1-compliant weight-embedded barcodes directly from the POS or a dedicated label printer. Each label shows product name, cut description, weight, price per kg, total sell price, and expiry date: everything a customer or inspector needs on a single label, printed in under 3 seconds.
