Managing catch weight inventory requires more than traditional ERP systems can offer. When every box or package of a product varies in weight, size and value, maintaining accurate inventory, traceability, and cost management is extremely difficult.

Merit-Trax Software Catch Weight Management is purpose-built to handle variable-weight products, giving processors complete control over inventory, costing, and production performance.

Managing Multiple Units of Measure (UOM)

Standard ERP systems struggle with dual unit of measure (UOM) tracking. This leads to:

• Inaccurate conversions

• Data inconsistencies

• Reporting errors

Merit-Trax enables true UOM management, ensuring weight and unit data stay synchronized.

Inaccurate Inventory Valuation

Without precise weight tracking, businesses face:

• Incorrect cost calculations

• Margin uncertainty

• Financial reporting issues

Accurate catch weight costing is essential for profitability.

Manual processes at the packaging line often include:

• Physical weighing

• Label printing

• Re-entering data into systems

This results in errors, slower throughput, and increased labor costs.

Broken Traceability Across Operations

Maintaining end-to-end traceability in catch weight environments is difficult when data isn’t captured in real time.

This creates risks for:

• Food safety compliance

• Product recalls

• Customer trust

Poor Visibility into Yield and Shrinkage

Without proper systems in place, it’s difficult to track:

• Product yield

• Trim losses

• Shrinkage

• Giveaway weight for variable weight products sold per SKU or package

This leads to missed opportunities for cost savings and efficiency improvements.

Eliminate manual processes with:

• Integrated scales

• Automated labeling

• Direct ERP synchronization
