Features
Efficient Grouping and Sorting
Detailed data on each animal's health, activity levels, and other characteristics. This allows Backgrounders to accurately group cattle based on similarities in size, weight, health status, and other criteria, streamlining the sorting process and ensuring homogeneous groups for shipment to feedlots.
Optimized Inventory Management
By leveraging the data collected from MicroTraks tags, Backgrounders can better manage their inventory of cattle. They can track the number of animals available for sale, monitor procurement trends, and make informed decisions about purchasing and stocking levels to meet demand from feedlots effectively.
Improved Quality Assurance
Mitigate risks associated with procuring cattle by providing real-time insights into the health and condition of each animal. This enables Backgrounders to identify and avoid purchasing potentially unhealthy or high-risk cattle, ensuring the delivery of high-quality livestock to feedlots.
Streamlined Logistics and Operations
Our Tags facilitate the efficient tracking and management of cattle shipments, from procurement to delivery at feedlots. Backgrounders can use the data collected to optimize logistics, plan transportation routes, and ensure timely and accurate delivery of cattle, reducing operational inefficiencies and costs
Enhanced Traceability
MicroTraks tags enable Backgrounders to maintain comprehensive records of each animal's history, including origin, health status, and movement. This traceability ensures transparency and accountability in the supply chain, which is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements and providing assurance to downstream stakeholders.
