From farm to branch on Zoho for Hasad El Ebdaa
A livestock and meat business replaced manual tracking from farm to branch with one system on Zoho Creator, Zoho Inventory and Zoho Books, covering animal intake, slaughter batches, yield in kilograms, daily demand per store, distribution orders and scale-barcode retail sales.
Results

The challenge
Livestock and meat retail does not fit generic ERP workflows. Animals arrive by farm and size, are slaughtered in daily batches, and the yield is sold by weight across branches, with VAT invoicing and digital scales at the counter. Hasad El Ebdaa ran this on manual records that took a lot of time and effort to monitor.
The solution
Start Dynamics mapped the full process and built it on Zoho, with Zoho Creator as the operating layer and Zoho Inventory and Zoho Books as the stock and finance layers:
- Animal intake with livestock master data, farm, category and status, plus lairage checks.
- Slaughter batches, one per day as the baseline, with per-animal and per-lot yield capture.
- Eight standard output lines so yield, planning and reporting use the same structure.
- Daily demand planning in kilograms per store, aligned against yield.
- Distribution orders as the mandatory movement between locations, with dispatch and receipt.
- FEFO deduction with FIFO fallback for stock issues.
- Retail POS that reads digital-scale barcodes with PLU, weight, price and tax, with a manual fallback and separate walk-in and business-customer paths.
- Finance integration into Zoho Inventory and Zoho Books for invoices, VAT and legal receipts.
What changed
The business runs one controlled flow from farm intake to branch sale, with traceability at every step, stock that moves only through distribution orders, and retail sales that post to inventory and finance without re-keying.
“Start Dynamics helped us transform all the manual work that used to take a lot of time and effort to monitor. They mapped the full process of our work into a dedicated system on Zoho Books, Inventory and Zoho Creator, from the farm up to the branches.”
