Roger McCracken, with extensive experience in meat processing, aims to provide a range of tools to professionals in the meat industry to ease their day-to-day stresses and strains associated with trading meat.
The Tender Manager and Price List Manager eases and controls the communication process between suppliers and customers and helps both parties have access to the information they need quicker and easier.
Mr McCracken says: "This extensive functionality removes the need for Excel or Word when creating Price Lists or Tenders and the sending and receiving of multiple emails to and from customers and suppliers.
"It centralises all of this information into one easy to access place, giving your team and management greater visibility of what is happening in 'real-time'.
"As volume and pricing information is potentially very sensitive, the trading system provides a higher level of security than traditional emails, which can be inadvertently forwarded or opened by the wrong person
"The Meat Connected system eliminates this issue as all the data is stored in a 100% private system for each company, protected by a variety of state of the art security measures including TLS encryption, Cisco firewalls and 3rdparty penetration testing.
"Buyers using the Tender Manager will be able to gather in prices and volumes from their suppliers in a few clicks of a button and then use several analysis tools to compare the suppliers against each other, before making an informed decision on who to purchase from.
"The Price List Manager will give sales people visibility of what they and their team members have previously offered to their customers and any agreed deals that they currently have with them. Customers are able to respond directly to suppliers through the system making it an even more efficient process of agreeing prices and selling products.
"Meat Connected is not trying to replace the person-to-person relationship that is vital in this industry. It simply aims to help users distribute, gather, organise and analyse information more efficiently than is currently possible," Mr McCracken adds.
"We are working with Sysco Software to extend and compliment the trading system. Integrating into Dynamics CRM will aid overall control and further enhance communications with contacts utilising Microsoft Outlook, which is the backbone of many businesses communication model."
