Sales Manager

This module brings it all together by allowing you to leverage the market hog sales data you get from the packer and link it to your detailed production information. Sales data or kill sheet data can be manually entered or imported electronically from your packer. We then link your production data to it and mesh it with your existing group performance data. This gives you the ability to “slice-and-dice” carcass data by all sorts of factors, filters and attributes. Better data reporting means better decisions.

Packer data can be overwhelming and the most preferred method of data entry is electronic. We support imported files directly from many packers (current packers include: Swift & Co., Tyson Fresh Meats (IBP), John Morrell, Cargill, Excel, Maple Leaf, Hormel, Olymel, Indiana Packers Corporation, Hatfield and SPI). In addition to electronic imports, we’ve built data entry screens for you to enter your kill data directly into Sales Manager. Manual data entry is used primarily for entering non-market sales such as cull sales, genetic sales, sales to employees or for packers that do not provide electronic data.

Sales Manager is the analytic tool that helps you turn data into money, and helps you make informed “big decisions” about your future. Some key features include the ability to set sales targets, measure your weight distribution, and schedule market shipments, packer comparison, cut and load comparisons.

In the November 2009 issue of the National Hog Farmer magazine, veterinarian Dr. Paul Yeske, of Swine Vet Center, highlighted steps producers can take to shave costs or increase revenue. A key one is understanding a packer’s matrix and figuring out what market weight gets you the best price for a load. But to do it, you have to track and measure kill data on an individual head basis. Our Sales Manager application does this, and with one push of the ENTER key you’ll get a report that tells you exactly what you need to know and how to get $3- $4 more per pig on each load you

Here are just a few report examples:
