ABOUT CALFTECH CORP

Calf Raising Operations Across a Multi-Entity Group

CalfTech Corp runs calf raising operations in Tipton, California, as part of a group that also runs feedlot, water credit, and laundry businesses under one parent structure. The legacy accounting setup had no structured way to track or value livestock, and QuickBooks could not consolidate financials across the group’s many entities. That gap is what made a dedicated ERP necessary.

CalfTech's Setup, By the Numbers

After implementing with Folio3, CalfTech consolidated its entire group structure onto one NetSuite account and replaced manual livestock costing with automated allocation.

12 Legal Entities
Unified under one parent

CalfTech Corp, Wild Eye Cattle, and the group's various trusts now report through one NetSuite account, replacing a QuickBooks setup that ran each entity's books separately.

4 Business Sectors
Reporting through one structure

Cattle and Agri Farming, Energy, Financial, and Others each roll up under CalfTech Group Parent, with intercompany transactions and consolidated reporting running through NetSuite.

7 Process Areas
Configured end-to-end

Record to Report, Design to Build, Procure to Pay, Return to Debit, Order to Cash, Return to Credit, and Analytics all run through one NetSuite account.

3 Custom Solutions
Built for livestock operations

Contract management, shipment-based invoicing, and feed production and consumption management were all delivered on top of standard NetSuite.

The Challenge

CalfTech's Accounting Couldn't Keep Pace With the Farm

CalfTech came to Folio3 with a legacy setup that could not value livestock, track contracts, or consolidate across the group’s companies. Five gaps shaped the project.

Livestock With No Structured Valuation

QuickBooks gave CalfTech no structured way to track or value livestock inventory. The client needed an ERP that could manage livestock inventory and its valuation properly.

Contracts Managed Outside the System

Livestock contracts had no home inside the accounting system. CalfTech wanted to manage livestock contracts and generate legal contracts directly from the ERP.

Animal Costs Calculated by Hand

Feed, medicine, vaccination, and other costs had to be allocated to specific animals manually. CalfTech wanted these costs calculated automatically through proper allocation to each animal.

Feed Production Tracked Outside the System

Feed production and consumption had no dedicated system, and feed costing was not automated. CalfTech wanted accurate, automated feed costing alongside production and consumption tracking.

No Consolidated View Across Multiple Companies

CalfTech operates multiple companies and organizations, and QuickBooks could not manage intercompany transactions, financial consolidation, or reporting across them.

The Solution

NetSuite Financials Built Around Livestock and Consolidation

Folio3 implemented NetSuite SuiteSuccess Financials Standard for CalfTech Corp, with Advanced Inventory, Fixed Assets, and NSAW, along with custom livestock management solutions built on top.

NetSuite Financials First Standard

Core financials, procurement, inventory management, and accounts receivable and payable were set up under one NetSuite account, replacing QuickBooks.

Advanced Inventory for Livestock Costing

Advanced Inventory was configured to track serialized inventory and landed costs tied to livestock, giving each animal a proper cost basis.

Livestock Contract Management

A custom solution manages livestock-related contracts and generates legal contract documents directly inside NetSuite.

Shipment-Based Invoicing

A custom solution generates invoices automatically from the load or shipment delivered to customers, calculating underloads or excess against the contracted weight.

Feed Production and Consumption Management

A solution manages feed recipes per nutritionist requirements and records both feed production and actual feed consumption.

NSAW and Bank Reporting

NetSuite Analytics Warehouse was implemented for financial and operational reporting, alongside periodic inventory position reports built to meet bank requirements.

Business Outcomes

CalfTech's Books, Livestock, and Contracts on One System

  • Bank-required inventory position reports generate directly from NetSuite, with no manual compilation needed.

Livestock Inventory and Costing

  • Livestock inventory sells and tracks in the correct unit of measure at every stage of the operation.

Contracts and Invoicing

  • Livestock contracts now generate as legal documents straight from NetSuite.
  • Invoices calculate automatically from delivered loads, with underloads and excess weight measured against the contract in real time.
