PRICING

WHY FRESHBYTE
Built for every challenge meat & poultry distributors face
Generic ERP wasn't built for your operation. FreshByte was — with workflows, compliance
tools, and terminology specific to your market.
Catch Weight at Every Step
Enter actual weights at receiving, pick, and invoicing. FreshByte tracks the difference and keeps your inventory and costs accurate — no estimates, no adjustments after the fact.
Grade & Cut Pricing
Price by USDA grade, cut, and customer contract simultaneously. Unlimited price levels with date-sensitive schedules keep your margins protected even as market prices shift daily.
Full Lot Traceability
Track every lot from packer through processing, repacking, and delivery. Recall simulations run in under 60 seconds — giving you the chain of custody regulators and customers demand.
Processing & Repacking
Break primal cuts, combine box weights, or repackage product — all with lot traceability and yield tracking maintained throughout, and cost allocation applied to each output item.
Integrated Accounting
Full A/R, A/P, and General Ledger built directly into the same system — no double entry, no third-party accounting software needed, and no day-end or month-end utilities to run.
Cloud Access & Mobile
Access FreshByte from anywhere — office, truck, or cold storage floor. Receive product and pick orders via mobile device, and view live sales and inventory data from any browser.
