HATCHERY MANAGEMENT

One system for every customer hatch.

Hatchery Management starts where the business starts: with the customer and the eggs they bring for hatching. Every batch can be tracked from receipt and setting through candling, hatching, chick collection and payment.

The system also records the expenses required to run the hatchery, giving management a clear view of revenue, operating costs and the performance of each hatchery period.

THE HATCHERY WORKFLOW

Follow the eggs through every stage.

Every stage is connected to the customer batch, so the hatchery always knows what was received, what happened to it and what is ready for collection.

SETTING

Record setting dates, quantities, machine allocation and the customer batch entering the incubation process.

CANDLING

Separate fertile, infertile and banger eggs.

Record candling results against the batch and clearly identify fertile eggs, infertile eggs and banger or damaged eggs.

HATCHING

Record eggs entering the hatch stage, hatch results, chicks produced and remaining eggs so every batch has a complete production history.
