How ERP software is used in the fish industry

As throughout the entire food industry, the high demand for quality is a major challenge for a company in the fish industry. Processing highly perishable goods in a short time while meeting the requirements for documentation, quality and traceability is a major task. At the same time, working effectively and generating strong sales is something that can hardly be managed manually with Excel and the like anymore.

Specialized ERP software like winweb-food can provide support here. Processes are automated and information is centralized – from purchasing and goods receipt through processing/production to sales, delivery, and complete batch traceability. This allows you to easily evaluate processes and data and demonstrate audit compliance at any time.

In addition, apps and mobile data capture offer a clear practical advantage: relevant data (e.g. goods receipt, batches, best-before dates, weighing data, labeling, order picking, empties or delivery confirmations) can be recorded directly where it is generated – in production, in Storage or during delivery. This reduces media discontinuities, avoids transmission errors and ensures up-to-date inventory and clean documentation in real time.

Building on this, AI (artificial intelligence) can help derive better decisions from the centrally available data - for example through forecasts and recommendations for action for scheduling and production planning, the early detection of anomalies in quality or process data or through the prioritization of tasks when resources are scarce. In this way, pure data collection becomes an active control instrument that ensures quality and at the same time increases efficiency.

Traceable data along the entire process chain

Relevant data such as origin, fishing area, fishing method or certificates can already be recorded and batches assigned during goods receipt. This recorded information accompanies the goods through all further process steps. In Storage and logistics, the system supports best-before-date- and FIFO-controlled processes and helps to avoid wrong decisions during stock removal. Quality and hygiene data, for example from HACCP-relevant controls, can be recorded and documented directly, which is important for evaluations and certifications.

Helpful evaluations

Using the ERP software also creates transparency regarding quantities, utilization and costs. Subsequent calculations after production enable a quick and objective overview of profitability and provide a sound basis for decisions. This turns many individual records into a consistent overall picture of operational processes.
