MeatProblem 1 of 5

Short dates.

Fresh cuts have days. The old lot is found when it is already too late.

What it is

Nobody forgets a lot on purpose. It sits at the back of the chamber while everyone sells what is in front of them, and when the stock count finds it, there are days left instead of weeks.

What changes

Every pallet is counted with its date as it comes in. The short ones are flagged in the morning, next to the buyers who are asking for that cut right now.

One aisle of a frozen chamber, pallet by pallet. Short-dated pallets ring, and the flags on the right came in this morning. Select a pallet, a number or a flag.

MeatProblem 2 of 5

Odd specs.

4D or 5D, rind on or off, 10 kg or 20 kg cartons. Every buyer means something slightly different.

What it is

A German price list, a trader’s shorthand and a Spanish catalogue can all describe the same belly, and no two say it the same way. Read one of them wrong and the wrong cartons go on the truck.

What changes

Every product line is read into one product and its attributes, with the seller’s own words kept beside each value. When the reading is not sure, it asks a person instead of guessing.

One messy line in, a clean spec out. Pick another example at the top: a price list, a trader’s shorthand, a catalogue, an offer.

MeatProblem 3 of 5

Missing certificates.

One wrong approval number and the truck waits at the border.

What it is

The health certificate gets filled in by hand at the end of a long day, copied from three other papers. One line without its approval number keeps a truck at the border overnight.

What changes

The trade document is filled from the order: every line with its approval number, origin, batch and storage. A check runs before the PDF exists and jumps straight to what is missing.

Five papers from one order. The check found a line with no approval number before anything was printed.

MeatProblem 4 of 5

Half-sold carcasses.

The loins sell themselves. The shoulders and trimmings need a home every week.

What it is

The whole animal has to go. Loins and legs are gone by Tuesday; on Friday the sales team is still phoning round about shoulders, trimmings and forequarters.

What changes

What is left goes on the market floor in one sentence. Buyers who asked for that cut see it, and checked companies talk to you directly, each in their own language. No commission on the deal.

The market floor: offers from suppliers on the left, what buyers are asking for on the right.

MeatProblem 5 of 5

Prices that move.

Every week, by country and by cut. Yesterday’s price list is already wrong.

What it is

The pig price is set midweek, the cut prices follow, and the list you sent on Monday is out of date by Thursday. Everyone on the call is quoting from a different number.

What changes

The reference prices for pigs and young bulls sit on one page every week, with what is moving them and a call for the next round. Beside them: what sellers on the floor are asking today.

Twenty-six weeks of the reference price, what is moving it, and what the floor is asking now.

SeafoodProblem 1 of 5

Shelf life.

Days, not weeks. The fish that waits for an answer loses value by the hour.

What it is

A bream harvested this morning has eight days. Two are gone before it reaches a buyer, and every hour spent finding the next buyer comes off the price.

What changes

Stock is counted by harvest and lot as it is packed. The lot with no order on it is flagged first thing, and offers come in from checked buyers while there are still days left.

These are a fish processor’s screens. The marketplace on the second one is MeatBorsa, which began with meat.

Screen 1 of 2This morning: today’s harvest against the order, and a lot with two days left.

SeafoodProblem 2 of 5

Catch papers.

Catch certificates, species and area on every box, and the rules change by destination.

What it is

Every box has to say what is in it, where it came from and which lot it belongs to, and the health certificate has to say the same thing. Two hundred boxes, before the ferry.

What changes

The certificate, the box labels and the CMR are filled from the order and the lot. Then every number is checked against every other before anyone signs.

Catch certificates and catch areas are new to us. We set them up with you, on the same check.

The papers for one truck to Milan, and what was checked before anyone signs.

Sizes.

300–400, 400–600, 600–800. One size off and it is a different product.

What it is

Branzino, lubina, bar and Wolfsbarsch are one fish. 400–600 and 400/600 are one size. To a spreadsheet that is eight products, and to a buyer the wrong one is a claim.

What changes

Every name a buyer uses is matched to one spec, with its size, preparation, pack and shelf life. “Same as last time” means one thing.

Carcass AI began with meat cuts. Species and size grades are added with you.

One sea bass, six names, and the one spec they all mean.

SeafoodProblem 4 of 5

Prices by the hour.

Auctions, landings and weather move the price before the truck arrives.

What it is

The price you heard at the landing at six is not the price at nine. It lives in a call, a WhatsApp and a note on the back of an invoice, and nobody can find it when the next buyer asks.

What changes

Say the price out loud after the call, or forward the message. It is kept with the words it came from, and the next time anyone asks who sells what, the answer comes back with this week’s prices, cheapest first.

Shown with a meat trader’s book. Your species and landings fill it the same way.

Asked on the trader’s phone: who sells this week, cheapest first, from your own records.

Ferries and borders.

A missed sailing or a wrong paper costs a day the fish does not have.

What it is

The reefer has to make the 23:30 ferry. Book the cheap carrier who was late twice last month, and the fish spends a day on the quay.

What changes

Carrier quotes come in by email and phone and land side by side, ranked on price and on how often each carrier was on time with you. The sailing is in the plan from the start.

The second screen is from our meat desk.

Screen 1 of 2Three quotes for tonight’s reefer to Milan, on the Patras–Bari ferry. The cheapest is not first.

DairyProblem 1 of 5

Halal and health papers.

Each destination its own list, and a missing one holds the container.

What it is

The same pallet needs two papers for Munich and six for Jeddah. The list lives in one experienced person’s head, and the container waits on the quay the week that person is away.

What changes

Pick the destination and the papers it asks for are listed with the order and filled from it, before the container is booked.

This table comes from a meat importer. For dairy, the columns are your papers: halal, health, lab release and origin.

Every destination against every paper. Pick a country to see what it asks for.

Spec sheets.

Fat, protein, moisture, heat class. Every buyer’s sheet is a little different.

What it is

Fior di latte in Milan, Mozzarella Kugel in Munich, boule in Lyon. Every buyer sends their own sheet with their own limits, and the differences hide in the small print.

What changes

Every name is matched to one spec with its weight, fat, temperature and shelf life. When an offer or a sheet differs from it, only the difference is shown.

Origin rules.

Where the milk came from decides the duty, the paper and sometimes the buyer.

What it is

A buyer asks where the milk in one lot came from. The answer is in a supplier file, a certificate on someone’s desktop and an email from March.

What changes

Every document is kept with the order, the supplier and the plant it belongs to, read for its dates and checked against the others. The answer is one click away, and what is about to expire is flagged.

Shown on a pork order. For dairy, the file holds your farms, plants and lab results.

The file for one order: the spec, the plant’s approvals and its certificates, each one read and checked.

DairyProblem 4 of 5

Long lead times.

Orders months ahead, prices that move in between.

What it is

The order came in at the spring price. By the time it ships in autumn, the buyer pays later than they did, their cover is used up by other orders, and nobody looked again.

What changes

Before the truck is booked, the order meets the buyer as they are today: open invoices, insured limit, and how they have paid lately. The options are laid out, and nothing changes until you choose.

Shown with a meat buyer. The numbers work the same in any trade.

One buyer, one new order, and the ways to handle it. Pick one.

DairyProblem 5 of 5

Shelf life on arrival.

Fresh cheese has to land with weeks left, not days.

What it is

The warehouse in Munich wants 21 days left when the pallet arrives. Send the older lot and it is refused at the door; send the newest and the older one runs out of date at home.

What changes

Every lot is counted with its use-by date as it is made. The order is matched to lots that land with enough days left, and the lot that will not make it is flagged while it can still be sold closer to home.

Ripening.

The product changes every day, so does what it is worth.

What it is

Peppers packed on Monday are not the peppers of Thursday. A lot that ripens faster than planned is worth less every day it waits for someone to notice.

What changes

Lots are counted as they are packed, with the days they have left. The one running ahead of plan is flagged in the morning and offered to the buyers who can take it now.

These are a packhouse’s screens. The marketplace on the second one is MeatBorsa, which began with meat.

Rejections.

A load checked at the door and sent back is a total loss.

What it is

The buyer’s warehouse checks size, colour and temperature at the door. One wrong class on the paper and the whole load goes back down the motorway.

What changes

Class, size and colour stage are on the order before it is packed, matched to the buyer’s spec. If a load is refused anyway, the claim opens with the order, the lot and the evidence beside it.

Trucks that won’t wait.

Booked for six, loading at seven, missing the ferry at nine.

What it is

Twelve loads leave today. Someone has to know which one is late, which reefer runs warm and which paper is missing, and right now that someone is on the phone.

What changes

Every load of the day is on one board: the truck, the temperature, the papers and the status. The ones that need you are at the top, before the driver calls.

The board comes from a meat desk. A produce board reads the same, at 8–10 °C.

Prices with the weather.

One frost in Spain and every price list in Europe is wrong.

What it is

After a frost the price changes with every call. The trader who offers the new price first sells the day, unless they are still typing up the last call.

What changes

Hang up and say what you agreed. The deal is written up with your words beside each field, the likely buyers are found and an offer is drafted for each, at your price.

Long contracts.

Signed months ahead, with clauses for every test and every delay.

What it is

The contract was signed in spring. The call-offs arrive all autumn, one email at a time, and each one has to match what was agreed: the quantity, the calibre, the price and the date.

What changes

Each call-off is read from the email and typed in as an order, with the same spec as last time. The order carries its lines, costs and steps, so the margin and what is still missing stay in view.

The second screen is a full order from our meat desk.

Lab results.

Every lot tested, every result checked against the contract by hand.

What it is

Every lot arrives with a lab report. Someone has to read each one against the contract, line by line, before the invoice goes out, and in a busy week nobody does.

What changes

Every file that comes in is checked against its order. What differs is shown with what was expected and what was found, before anyone signs.

The second screen checks a meat invoice. Lab reports go through the same check.

Moisture and quality.

Half a percent over, and the price changes, if anyone notices.

What it is

Moisture at 9.4% when the contract says 9.0% is money. It is in the lab report and it is in the contract, and it only counts if someone puts the two side by side.

What changes

The spec carries every limit: size, moisture, admixture, aflatoxin. Every buyer’s name for the product is matched to it, so each result is read against one set of numbers.

Carcass AI began with meat cuts. Grades and limits for dry goods are set up with you.

Striped sunflower seeds, six names, and the one spec with its limits.

Vessel delays.

A ship that sails late moves every truck, payment and warehouse slot after it.

What it is

The vessel is four days late. That moves the trucks at the port, the warehouse slot, the payment date and three buyers on the other side, and each of them hears it from someone else.

What changes

Every shipment on the water gets one line, with its stages, its papers and the one thing still missing. Open it with your coffee; close it knowing what to chase.

Shown with containers of beef. Bulk vessels are new to us, and we set them up with you.

Every container on the water, and one opened: its stages, its papers and the one still missing.

Prices by the season.

The crop, the weather and the exchange rate, all moving at once.

What it is

A crop bought in spring and sold in autumn is a long bet. Most desks only see the margin on it when the last invoice is paid.

What changes

Every deal sits in one book with both sides priced: what you bought at, what you sold at, and the margin between, from the moment you say it. What still needs a buyer or a supplier is at the top.

Shown with a meat trader’s deals. Season-long prices are new to us, and we build them with you.

The trader’s book on a big screen: open deals, priced on both sides, with the margin.
