What is Völur?
Völur is an AI-powered B2B SaaS platform designed specifically for meat processors to optimize sorting, scheduling, and planning operations throughout the meat processing value chain. The platform uses advanced artificial intelligence and data analytics to help meat processors make smarter cut and product decisions, maximizing carcass value from every animal while reducing waste and improving sustainability.
The platform offers three core modules: AI-powered sorting that groups carcasses based on predicted cutout value to ensure high-value segments go to the right products and customers; automated scheduling that handles complex daily scheduling in minutes by balancing labor, order mix, line speed, and plant constraints; and weekly planning that creates optimal plans by matching projected supply with real demand and operational capacity.
Völur is designed for meat processors, supply chain managers, business analysts, and sustainability officers in the meat and poultry industry. The platform serves facilities ranging from mid-sized processors to the largest producers globally, with deployments across Norway, France, the United States, and other geographies. It is particularly valuable for companies looking to increase yield, reduce CO₂ emissions, and improve profit margins without increasing livestock inputs.
The platform delivers measurable results including 8-10% increased yield, 3-4% increased profit margin, 98% reduction in planning time (from 4 hours to under 2 minutes per plan), and 5-10% lower CO₂ per tonne produced. One US factory reportedly generated $45 million in increased revenue, while customers achieve 9.8% fewer animals needed for the same demand and 25,000 tonnes of CO₂ saved.
