Where Did Your Kilograms Go?

In commercial poultry delivery, a 2% weight discrepancy across a 100kg daily order represents over 700,000 PKR in stolen food cost over the course of a year. Unreliable suppliers frequently 'forget' to tare crate weights (a wet delivery crate weighs 2.2kg to 2.8kg) or use uncalibrated mechanical scales.

The 3 Verification Checkpoints on Every Fresh Poultry Invoice

  1. Gross Weight: Weight of meat plus sanitized crate on a certified digital scale.
  2. Tare Weight: Exact stamped weight of the empty crate deducted automatically.
  3. Net Weight: The net meat weight verified and signed off by your receiving line cook.
