We serve U.S. meat processors, ranchers, farmers and consumers with meat-cutting order processing software. We offer customized, comprehensive, fast and intuitive web apps that both the processors and their customers love. Our goal is to make life easier for ranchers and customers, and to minimize order tracking work for the processors.
Meat processors: feel free to VISIT OUR DEMO SITE to evaluate the customer experience. Reach out to us to request demo shop manager access to view and manage orders, generate cutting slips and invoices, and track sales metrics.
Features and Benefits for the Customer:
- Customers establish accounts that save customer’s contact information and past orders, just as they expect from an e-commerce web app
- Customers can log in and edit their cutting instructions until the order enters processing
- Customers can view past orders and reuse their cut sheets to submit cutting instructions for new orders
- Customers have access to their invoices for completed orders at any time
- Customers may be given options to pay online, purchase retail products online, have products delivered, or COD.
Features and Benefits for the Meat Processor:
- A dedicated, branded cutting order website
- An order handling system using your customized cut sheets
- Convenient printouts of cut sheet instructions for each order that are easy for the cutting room to follow
- Optional electronic cut sheets on touchscreen tablets or wall mounted screens for the cutting room
- Custom labels for meat packages, including specific labels for CutPlanner-member ranchers
- Ability to update tag numbers, meat weight, and add processing fees in one place
- Processor entered carcass weight is automatically assigned to existing and future orders
- Automated addition of processing fees to orders based on cut sheet instructions selections (e.g. sausage making, tenderizing, packaging fees)
- Optional automated reminders to the customer and the processor that an order is approaching the processing date

All aspects of the cut orders, related products, and retail products are customizeable to your shop’s individual needs. Optional automated reminders to the customer and the processor that an order is approaching the cutting date reduces the work for the processor to track the meat aging dates and ensures that customers update their cut orders in time.
Features and Benefits for the Rancher:

We are looking for ranchers open to discussing their needs to help improve the integration with the end customer and meat processor. Please reach out to us if you are a rancher or farmer and want to tell us what features we can add to make the work flow better for you.
