Before EggFlow, CORBEL EARL managed its entire egg production on loose sheets and scattered Excel files. Every day, production, grading, and delivery data was recorded by hand, with all the risks of errors and information loss that implies.
EggFlow transformed this manual process into a fully digitized workflow: from egg reception at the henhouses to client invoicing, every pallet is tracked, every delivery documented, every invoice calculated automatically. The software generates professional PDFs with QR codes, allowing clients to access their documents without even needing an account.
Context before the project
CORBEL EARL, a farm specialized in egg production, faced growing operational challenges due to the lack of suitable digital tools.
Every day, production sheets were filled out by hand: quantities by grade (S, M, L, XL), packaging types, laying and grading dates. This data, scattered across loose sheets and Excel spreadsheets, made any overview of the business impossible.
Invoicing was a constant headache. With different pricing grids per client (grading price, weight-based, or service-based), manual invoice calculations were a source of errors and considerable time loss. Multiple VAT rates (5.5%, 10%, 20%) added another layer of complexity.
Shipping documents were written manually, with no link to production sheets. In case of disputes or health inspections, reconstructing a batch's traceability required digging through piles of paper documents.
Project objectives
To modernize its operations and gain reliability, CORBEL EARL needed a custom tool capable of:
- Centralizing production management by replacing loose sheets with structured digital records and pallet tracking.
- Automating invoicing by integrating per-client pricing grids, VAT calculations, and professional document generation.
- Ensuring complete traceability for every batch, from laying to delivery, to meet regulatory requirements.
- Simplifying deliveries with automatically generated shipping documents linked to production sheets.
- Providing secure external access allowing clients to view their invoices and documents without a user account.
The implemented solution
EggFlow was designed from scratch to address the specificities of the egg industry. The software covers the entire operational chain, from egg reception to accounting.
Production management
- Digital production sheets with tracking of laying, grading, and delivery dates
- Granular pallet tracking : grade (S, M, L, XL, TC, FC, TV), category (A, B), packaging type, and quantities
- Integrated photo documentation for each production sheet and pallet
- Auto-generated unique references for instant batch identification
Shipping and deliveries
- Automated shipping documents directly linked to production sheets
- Multi-carrier management with tracking of alveolus types, spacers, and pallets
- Real-time updates through a reactive architecture synchronizing all workstations
Invoicing and accounting
- Automatic price calculation based on per-client pricing grids (grading, service, weight)
- Multi-VAT management with automatic rate application by service type
- Complete lifecycle : draft, ready, paid, overdue, cancelled
- Standard and custom invoices to handle every scenario
Professional documents
- PDF generation with QR codes for invoices, production sheets, and shipping documents
- Secure external access via signed URLs allowing clients to view their documents without authentication
- Complete auditable history through a change log across all data
Results achieved

Real-time
multi-workstation synchronization for teams
The implementation of EggFlow radically transformed daily operations at CORBEL EARL. Production sheets, once scattered across loose papers, are now centralized and accessible in a few clicks.
Invoicing, a permanent source of stress, has become a reliable and automated process. Per-client pricing grids are applied automatically, VAT calculations are accurate every time, and documents are generated instantly as professional PDFs.
Traceability, once nearly impossible to reconstruct, is now natively integrated into every operation. Each pallet is tracked from reception to delivery, and QR codes on documents allow instant verification.
The real-time architecture allows multiple operators to work simultaneously without conflicts, with changes propagating instantly across all connected workstations.
Evolution and roadmap
EggFlow continues to evolve to support CORBEL EARL's growth. Next steps include:
- Advanced stock management : real-time stock level tracking by grade and packaging type
- Enhanced analytics dashboard : rolling period production statistics and volume forecasting
- Accounting integration : automated export of entries to the accounting software
This iterative approach ensures the tool remains perfectly aligned with the farm's real needs.
Conclusion
The EggFlow project demonstrates that custom software can transform manual management into a reliable industrial process, even in a sector as specific as egg production. By digitizing every step of the operational chain, we eliminated error sources while providing complete traceability.
For CORBEL EARL, technology has become a daily efficiency lever: less paperwork, zero invoicing errors, and a clear view of business activity. It's this same pragmatic approach we offer our clients: simple, robust tools perfectly suited to their trade.
