Procurement, Transportation & Live Animal Handling
Emydex’s Procurement, Transportation & Live Animal Handling functionality supports processors in managing livestock procurement, transport and intake operations as part of the primary processing workflow.
The solution streamlines bookings, deliveries and livestock intake, enabling accurate data capture, improved visibility and better coordination between procurement, transport and plant operations.
