New software for increased pro�tability in the seafood industry.

Increased value of seafood

FisHmark is a new software for �sheries companies. The software proposes the most pro�table plan for catching and processing of seafood. It is thought of as an important tool for internal management in seafood companies. A prototype is already in place and a commercial version will be ready in 2009. A Master thesis at the University of Iceland studied the feasibility of using FisHmark in the Icelandic �shing industry and revealed that pro�tability may be increased by up to 10%.

With FisHmark you can:

• Analyse which factors a�ect the value of seafood and the pro�tability of catching and processing. • Propose the most pro�table way of catching and how to market and process the catch.

• Enable �sh merchants to send information regarding products, for example their origin.

• Connect data from electronic log-books and data systems in processing and marketing.

• Increase pro�tability of your value chain.

With FisHmark, data from electronic log-books and information systems in processing and marketing can be connected and valuable historic information regarding the company extracted.

The system can be used to estimate the most pro�table plan for catch and processing, by using data already in place in the companies.

FisHmark is a collaborative project between Matis ohf. and a group of software- and �sheries companies.Info: sveinn.margeirsson@matis.is
