An upgrade to an existing app is helping beef producers save time on traceability paperwork and make better future purchasing decisions.
The Coles meat team is working with Australian cattle farmers to pilot the next generation of its electronic National Vendor Declaration form (eNVD) app.
Coles unveiled the upgrade in the lead-up to Beef Australia 2021, which started in Rockhampton on Monday.
