Benefits of ERP Software for Fisheries

The seafood industry is one of the most demanding operating fields, especially with the industry's renewed focus on sustainability, processes, and transparency in sourcing mechanisms. Careful planning and continuous monitoring is a must to maintain authority and mastery in the space.  Enterprise Resource Planning Software (ERP) offers the help needed for all the detailed areas a fishery is required in order to guarantee customer satisfaction.  

As competitive as the seafood industry can be, implementing an effective and seamless process to monitor quality and demand will help set your fishery apart from the competition.  Implementing Inecta’s seafood ERP software will assist you in effortlessly monitoring the different stages of a fishery such as procuring seafood, inventory, transporting goods, and ultimately quality control to forecast the seasonal trends.  By taking this vital step, fisheries are granted the freedom to trust the process implemented by the ERP personal features and ease the demand of managing the different operations of the seafood business.

Let's get into some of the top ways that you can leverage ERP software to help you to meet your goals.

Broodstock Management with ERP 

A sustainable aquaculture business requires detailed attention to production planning, financial forecasting, and broodstock management. Harmonizing the strength and success of these incredibly important working parts of a fishery is vital for its successful production.  With Inecta ERP for fisheries, aquaculture companies are able to take advantage of rich data mining and data analysis capabilities.  Those key elements enable companies to identify and quantify every trend regarding fish attributes to production methods.  

Inecta empowers companies to thrive; whether operating on land-based fish farming facilities, or on open-see fish processing units. With ERP, you'll be able to identify, track, and monitor the environment where specific species are controlled and maintained, organizing raw data and minimizing the risk of compromisation of the environment and process. 

This is becoming increasingly important, as the seafood industry is remaining especially competitive. Many competing businesses and fisheries are investing more money and time to sustain their businesses. Because of this, it is essential to equip your business with traceability and quality control tools to ensure that your product continues to maintain the standard of quality and process that your customers have come to expect. 

Traceability with ERP

When your seafood products have been processed and finalized, monitoring the transportation process is essential to ensure quality upon delivery. The Inecta ERP seafood traceability feature follows the load(s) by assigning a specific number to your shipment. With this, combined with QR scanning capabilities, you can visualize the quality and steps that your shipment has taken from sea to shelf.  This traceability feature guarantees the knowledge of whereabouts, delays, and expiration date of contents, helping you to stay one step ahead of potential recalls or compromisation. 

If a batch of seafood products is undesirable upon arrival, the load can be easily traced back to its batch number, assuring the company of the details.  This feature will allow the company to troubleshoot and correct the problem, avoiding further lost cost and time.  

Scrap Management with ERP

Within the seafood industry, there is a lot of waste after processing, as well as expired inventory to manage. The ERP scrap management feature offers the help needed to manage the waste byproduct.  Your fishery will be able to move scrap more efficiently to another location, supplemented with traceability and technology to minimize the risk of cross-contamination and error.  This feature not only saves time but also saves cost associated with workload reduction and employee demand. 

Assure Productivity with ERP

The ongoing business success of a fishery demands constant improvements, production, and increased productivity.  By utilizing the custom feature within the ERP,  your company can easily identify the key steps that must be taken to remain relevant and ahead of competitors. Consolidating and tracing the different seafood industry activities can help you to approach key decision-making steps more effectively, adopting a strategic and unified approach based on data generated from our targeted reports. Reporting is advanced, allowing you to gather data effortlessly between different work centers and units. 

Having a centralized ERP system in place not only improves productivity, but will also minimize the amount of lost cost associated with wastage, systemic inefficiency, and employee demand.   The ERP is designed to support on-time processing completion,  tracking, and quality control measures to satisfy the needs of both customers and stakeholders.
