A key issue was dealing with the unique inventory needs in feed manufacture and sales. “For example, with our old accounting system, we couldn’t do tons and partial tons at all,” says Rusty. “Our system would have worked fine if we were selling hammers and baseball bats, but it didn’t work for feed.”
They resorted to a complex system of spreadsheets to monitor inventory and fill in the other gaps in their system. “Looking back, we didn’t realize what a handicap we had,” says Rusty. “As we grew, it became obvious we needed a better system. For example, with our previous system, we’d create a ration, print it, and fax it to mill, where they'd enter it manually. Each time you had to move that information manually, there was a chance of error."The biggest thing we've seen? We're now seamless - between our feed rationing, our accounting system, and our feed mill."
