US Foods sits at the buyer end of the chain, distributing beef and other commodities at national scale. Every case carries origin, quality and welfare claims the business currently has little ability to evidence.
OriginsNext can help US Foods overcome the gaps that slow verified sourcing:
US Foods buys beef it cannot currently trace beyond the immediate supplier. OriginsNext gives category management a lot-level origin record covering property, processor, movement and certification, so commodity resiliency decisions rest on verified data rather than supplier assertion, and the planned beef programme has a platform to land on.
Execute automated, definitive compliance checks following allocation of product to your orders.
Generate comprehensive, audit-ready data and compliance packages on demand.
Export verified compliance records directly back into your internal ERP systems.
Beef origin starts on the property, with the herd, the land it grazed and the movements before slaughter. OriginsNext already carries around 400,000 head of cattle registered by Brazilian producers, tracked at animal level as financing collateral. The same registry model gives US Foods suppliers a zero cost way to record origin without adding paperwork to the ranch.
Origin is usually lost at the packer, where animals from many properties become boxed product under one lot code. Linking each carton back to the animals and properties behind it preserves the claim through processing, cold storage and cross-docking. IoT condition monitoring can travel with the consignment, so US Foods sees both where product came from and how it was held.
Imported beef adds exporters, freight forwarders and certification bodies between the ranch and the distribution centre. OriginsNext has run exactly this chain before, tracing high quality Australian beef to a major supermarket group in Taiwan with sensor data alongside the certification. For US Foods it means imported lines can be held to the same evidence standard as domestic ones.
