Feed savings, stronger operational visibility, and more connected decision-making. These are three key examples of how Speria’s integrated platform offering has strengthened Johnson Breeders’ poultry operations. Now, the company is taking the next step in its digital journey by upgrading its core technology.
Appreciates the knowledgeable staff
The North Carolina-based food producer has been a customer of MTech By Speria for over a decade.
“One of the greatest assets the company has is the people they employ and the fact that they are extremely knowledgeable about the poultry industry,” says Debra Segars, Software Analyst at Johnson Breeders.
Measurable operational value
Throughout their long-term partnership, Johnson Breeders has seen significant improvements in several areas:
Feed management:
More accurate scheduling helped the company avoid unnecessary deliveries and the additional freight and handling costs associated with transporting excess feed.
“The biggest return on investment we saw early on was in feed, where the process helped us avoid sending out too much feed and then hauling it back at an additional cost,” says Segars.
Operational resilience:
During a fire at one of its plants, the company used MTech By Speria’s broiler planning tool to redirect loads to external facilities, ensuring continuity in bird movements across locations. The tool remains part of its daily planning process.
Enhanced visibility:
By using advanced analytics, Johnson Breeders has gained a clearer view of performance across its operations, providing leadership with the insights needed to make more informed decisions.
Reduced manual work:
Automating routine tasks has allowed employees to shift their focus toward higher-value activities.
The Move to Amino
Johnson Breeders is now building on this foundation by migrating its software to the Amino platform. Supported by the MTech implementation team, this transition demonstrates how the partnership has evolved from improving individual processes to supporting a more unified and connected food supply chain.
Amino offers a more user-friendly environment that enhances predictability, helping teams navigate the complexities of modern poultry production with greater confidence and care.
