Digitizing Feedlot Compliance and Operations with AI-Powered Automation

A leading beef production company partnered with App Vertices to replace paper-based compliance processes with AI-powered mobile and web apps. The solution automated task tracking, digitized audits, and enabled real-time performance monitoring — even in low-connectivity areas.

Overview

App Vertices partnered with a leading U.S.-based beef production company to digitize compliance management and feedlot operations. Through custom-built mobile and web applications, we helped the client eliminate paper-based workflows, reduce human error, and boost productivity across multiple feedlots.

About the Client

The client is a leading beef production and certification company known for its large-scale operations and commitment to quality. With millions of cattle certified under its program, the organization emphasizes animal welfare, sustainability, and operational transparency, setting a high standard for the modern agricultural industry.

Challenge

Manual documentation and compliance processes were hindering productivity and scalability.

  • Tracking feedlot performance through paper-based SOPs was time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Audits and task management lacked visibility and traceability.
  • Field workers struggled to stay updated on SOPs while working in low-connectivity areas.
  • It was nearly impossible to trace meat back to individual animals due to the fragmented system.

The organization needed a fully digital, automated system to modernize compliance and audit workflows across all feedlots.

Solution by App Vertices

App Vertices designed and implemented a comprehensive digital compliance management solution, including web and mobile applications for both feedlot managers and auditors.

  • Digital Record History: Every task, review, and audit is securely stored and easily searchable by user, time, or location.
  • Multi-Yard Management: Centralized dashboard for managing multiple feedlots in real time.
  • Compliance Audits: Auditors used digital checklists for transparent, efficient verification of SOP adherence.
