Greater Omaha Packing
Greater Omaha Packing, a meat-processing operation in Omaha that ships nationwide, needed better tracking and coordination of drivers, trucks and trailers across three departments. I built them a custom Django application:
- Security: iPad check-in and check-out for trucks, drivers and trailers, with real-time visibility of what's entering and leaving the facility.
- Transportation: order and load management, with automated order imports tied to specific trailers.
- Shipping: trailer locations and driver availability, coordinated with warehouse loading schedules.
- McLeod TMS: data imported from McLeod for reporting and invoice generation, so the app works as a bridge between systems.
- Operations: downtime and production tracking, chain speeds, efficiency calculations and detailed reports.
What I help with
- TMS integrations for orders, loads, reporting and invoicing.
- Gate, dock and yard tools that work on a tablet in the hands of the people doing the job.
- Dispatch and shipping dashboards that show the same truth to every department.
- Production and downtime reporting for operations leadership.
- Hosting and monitoring for the apps your operation can't afford to lose.
Usually a good fit when
- Dispatch and the dock run on whiteboards, spreadsheets and phone calls.
- Your TMS has the data, but the people at the gate and on the dock can't see it.
- Someone re-keys orders or loads between systems every day.
