Case Study: CS Beef Packers boosts efficiency and cuts costs with Brightly Software's Asset Essentials

Asset Essentials Helps CS Beef Packers Increase Efficiencies, Cut Costs

CS Beef Packers, a farm-to-market beef processor in Kuna, Idaho that handles about 1,700 cattle daily and employs over 800 people, was struggling with a legacy maintenance system that failed to provide reliable parts, asset and labor visibility. After a disappointing experience with prior software, technology supervisor Scott Dixon pushed leadership to evaluate alternatives and chose Brightly’s Asset Essentials to address those gaps.

CS Beef completed data migration and staff training with Brightly in three months and now runs weekly reports showing completed work orders, time spent and top parts used. That visibility improved inventory forecasting, asset- and labor-effectiveness tracking, and operational efficiency—leading to tangible cost savings (for example, replacing a failing machine paid for itself in five weeks)—and ongoing Brightly support has kept the system effective and reliable.
