Case Study: Smokey Denmark achieves cost control and FDA-compliant lot traceability with Tamlin Software

Food Manufacturer Leverages AccountMate to Control Costs and Comply with Stringent Government Regulations

Smokey Denmark, a family-owned smoked meats processor in Austin, faced volatile pork and beef costs, catch-weight transactions and new government lot-traceability requirements that left the company “flying blind.” Referred to Tamlin Software, Smokey implemented Tamlin’s recommended accounting and shop-floor stack—AccountMate SQL Express alongside Food Manufacturing Conductor™ (and integrated Bassets Fixed Assets)—to meet regulatory lot-control needs and gain accurate financial visibility.

Tamlin Software configured AccountMate with Food Manufacturing Conductor™ to handle dual-unit catch-weight processing, bar-coded lot tracking and shop-floor data capture, and integrated Bassets for fixed-asset depreciation. The solution delivered FDA-compliant lot traceability (forward/back traceability within hours), accurate per‑pound invoicing, up‑to‑the‑minute inventory and production reporting, faster pick/pack/ship operations and reduced scrap and downtime—giving Smokey Denmark clear, actionable financial data to manage profitability.
