Midwest egg producer scaling operations and compliance infrastructure
Daybreak Foods is a top-4 domestic egg producer operating across six Midwest states with a manufacturing-heavy workforce (53 of 84 open roles in production). The tech stack reflects a traditional operations-first organization: Windows, SQL Server, SAP BusinessObjects, and Tableau for reporting, paired with PLC systems on the factory floor. Active projects signal modernization pressure—ERP implementation, maintenance management software, and digital procurement tools—while pain points cluster around equipment uptime, food safety compliance, and incident tracking, suggesting the company is moving from manual/spreadsheet-based operations toward integrated systems.
