DAIRY PRODUCER SOFTWARE BENEFITS
Purpose-built for dairy processors
Integration with FMMO pricing
Prevent mistakes that can occur due to outdated or incorrect pricing data. inecta automatically integrates up-to-date FMMO pricing data, ensuring that you always use the correct, current prices for each class of milk when calculating your costs.
Real-time data tracking
Get a real-time view of the amount of milk you receive, the class of milk being produced, and the costs associated with each process.
Accurate classification
The class of milk determines the minimum price that processors need to pay farmers. Misclassification can lead to inaccurate costing. inecta lets you accurately classify your milk according to the FMMO categories.
Cost allocation
inecta helps you allocate costs accurately across different stages of production. Track and measure variances associated with transportation, storage, labor, energy, and more. Get a more precise understanding of the true cost of processing each class of milk.
Forecasting and planning
Use historical data and trend analysis to forecast future milk prices and production costs. Plan ahead and make strategic decisions to optimize your operations and costs.
Financial reporting and compliance
Generate detailed reports on costing, pricing, and other financial aspects. Maintain regulatory compliance and reporting requirements.
Traceability
Track and document milk and derived products from farm to processing facility to retail shelves. In the event of a product recall, quickly identify and isolate affected batches, minimizing risks to consumers and protecting your brand.

CHEESE PRODUCTION
From milk intake to aging room — one system
Cheese production adds layers of complexity that general dairy ERP can't handle. inecta tracks every stage — from milk receiving and standardization through cutting, pressing, brining, and aging — so you know exactly what's in each batch, what it cost, and where it is in the maturation process.
- Batch tracking from vat to aging room with culture and rennet lot traceability
- Yield management with automatic shrinkage calculations during aging
- Lot attribute tracking through aging — record temperature, moisture, and maturation data per batch
- Component-based costing tied to butterfat, protein, and other solids
- Multi-product output tracking for cheese, whey, and by-products from a single vat
WHEY AND BY-PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
Turn every by-product into a revenue line
Cheese production generates whey, cream, and other by-products that represent real revenue. inecta tracks yields and costs for every output from a single production run, so your financial reporting reflects the true margin of your entire operation — not just the primary product.
- Automatic by-product allocation from cheese production orders
- Separate lot tracking and QC for whey protein, whey permeate, and cream
- Cost allocation across primary and secondary outputs
- Integrated sales and inventory management for by-product lines
