Belgian beef specialist Veviba is using a fully integrated IT solution to ensure transparency and traceability.

The system allows users to trace meat products from package back to pasture, giving consumers reassurance about food origins.

Veviba attributes much of its recent growth to the planning and product management solution by CSB-System, which reportedly "unites every stage of food processing under one roof".

Veviba has been able to monitor detailed performance indicators such as production quantities, machine utilisation and availability of required raw materials.

It also provides data on order quantities, deadlines, manpower requirements, and stock consumption.

The CSB software, which replaced Veviba’s previous system of manual data retrieval, handles all the company’s business processes from a control station.

It structures the whole operation, allowing for optimised purchasing, up-to-date stock, on-hand information, reliable planning bases, and meaningful reports and statistics.

Veviba, part of the Verbist group, specialises in Belgian Blue cattle, a particularly muscular breed.
