Modernize Your Fishery Management with Advantive’s Seafood Processing Software

Advantive’s comprehensive fishery management software suite is designed to streamline the entire seafood processing, purchasing, and settlement process. This sophisticated system provides enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and security, addressing what often is the largest cash outflow in seafood operations. The software not only facilitates real-time vessel management, settlements, holdbacks, and supply sales, but also integrates seamlessly with eLandings for compliance reporting, making it exceptionally suited for seafood operations, including those in challenging environments with limited or intermittent connectivity. Core features include:

At Advantive, we offer seafood-specific industry solutions to fully track your data and processes from catch to customer. Every part of the system is specialized and optimized for buying directly from vessels – including pricing, taxes, deductions, supply sales, compliance reporting, third-party transactions, and fishery management.

Centralized data provides rich views of fish purchasing activity across all locations. Master files, rules and configurations are made once at the home office and automatically published to all facilities.

Advantive’s specialized seafood industry solutions include fish ticket processing for all species, seasons, plants, fleets and buying stations.

  • Products: Our solutions support all types of purchased products. User-defined attributes are configured to define species, gear, form, condition, and any other factor that affects pricing, catch reporting, taxes, business analysis and accounting.
  • Multiple Premiums: Each ticket may contain multiple premiums. Premiums are set up by product and can be automatically added to a ticket.
  • Taxes & Deductions: Automatically handle deductions from tickets for association dues, garnishments, financing, etc. based on locations, vessels, species or other criteria. Deduction formulas may be based on weight or value in order to accommodate fishermen as well as company liabilities and accruals. The system manages any company-paid liabilities and accruals in the same manner. Integration with the general ledger and detailed deduction reports provide a complete audit trail of remittances to the agencies involved.
  • Flexible Pricing: Advantive’s fishery management software supports multiple price lists based on the vessel account, species, or season. For added reliability, the software maintains a complete audit trail of all price changes as well as history of the price list version. In the event of a price correction or revision,. the automatic price adjustment feature saves hours of manual, error prone calculations.

Advantive’s MES and WMS solutions for seafood processors include Vessel Management to manage Vessel Settlements, Holdbacks, and Supply Sales to fishing vessels, while producing buying analytics.

  • Vessel Settlements: Payment processing is designed to automatically compute and print settlement checks. Open items may be selected or excluded at will and manual settlements based on specified cutoff dates can be processed at any time. Each settlement reconciles the fisher account and keeps an auditable history of all transactions related to the associated payment. Statement details may include transactions such as fish tickets, deductions, price adjustments, bonuses, cash, checks, advances, supply sales, credit memos and holdbacks.
  • Holdbacks: The holdback tool allows users to designate amounts for reserve and withhold funds from settlements. Release dates are also tracked in the system to support automatic releases for such funds. For example, if the system has extended purchase orders to suppliers on behalf of fishers, this provides a way to reserve funds to cover the vendor charges. The original holdback and subsequent release are displayed clearly on settlements for added visibility.
  • Supply Sales to Fishing Vessels: Our solutions handle direct sales of equipment, services, bait, ice, gear and supplies to fishing vessels. Other related transactions such as cash advances and miscellaneous charges are also tracked within the system. Each sale shows its source, whether that be the dock, a buying station or tender. Sales are tracked by item code and source for pricing, accounting, business analytics and managing accounts with tenders and other third parties.
  • Buying Analytics: Fish tickets maintain information such as vessel, catch area, buyer and receiving location for reporting and analysis. Easy access to ticket history and vessel account status and history saves time and eliminates the need to keep volumes of printed reports. Convenient on-screen inquiries make it simple for staff to keep in touch with day-to-day operations, vessel accounts and accounting information. Query tools provide unlimited ways to analyze purchases by species, product attribute, location, and vessel.

Business intelligence capabilities are central to Advantive’s proven seafood processing solutions. Our seafood industry-specific software generates customizable business analysis views based on standardized data that has been compiled across all enterprise sites. Integration across modules supports an even richer environment where data can be modeled to drive key business decisions across the company. Other features include:

  • Familiar Data Analysis Tools: All system components include familiar data analysis tools, such as Excel, for fast and easy inquiries. Users can refine and design their own list views to meet job specific reporting needs. Pivot table lists, data filtering, searching, and sorting are all intuitive, self-service features for creating these specialized views.
  • Instant Printed Reports and Data Export: Once users have shaped their data as needed, printed reports are easily generated from any system module. The grid’s contents (in the same layout as it appears on screen) can be exported to all popular formats, including RTF, PDF, XLSX, XLS, CSV.
  • Compliance Reporting: Our fishery management software provides complete flexibility in meeting the reporting requirements of all government agencies. Reporting areas can be related to, or completely separate from, taxing districts. The system also supports reporting requirements that may encompass different geographical breakdowns.
  • Universal Search: Unlimited browsing and search features make it easy to find what you need. Convenient hyperlinks throughout the system provide instant access to key data and configuration areas.
  • eLandings Integration: eLandings Integration manages the process of importing tickets from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s eLandings system. Tickets are imported directly into our solutions where pricing and tax rules can be applied according to preconfigured settings. From there, users have an opportunity to review all data prior to posting.

Create a More Efficient Produce Processing Operation

To improve tight margins in the challenging agriculture industry, you need to leverage the process efficiencies of digital lot tracing and warehouse management software (WMS) from Advantive. Our specialized agriculture industry solutions are designed specifically for the unique demands of produce processing – leading to optimized margins, reduced risks, and improved operations efficiency.

Improve End-to-End Traceability

Digitally trace and manage lots to materially improve produce processing margins, reducing risk and overhead costs.

Reduce Inventory Variance

Decrease inventory discrepancies and eliminate manual data entry, maintaining tighter control over stock levels.

Increase Receiving Speed

Using the grower receiving toolset, you can expedite the process of receiving direct from growers, including integrating truck scaling.

Boost Margins While Reducing Risk with Advantive’s Agriculture Software

Whether you’re a packer, a small processor, or running a multi-facility operation, Advantive’s comprehensive produce processing MES and WMS software brings notable efficiency, accuracy, and robust tracking capabilities to your agriculture practices. From managing inventory in your warehouse to integrating with your existing ERP and EDI, our specialized agriculture industry solutions streamline and automate every step of your produce journey. Core features include:

By scanning in fruit, and tracking the processing through the factory, you’ll have immediate lot tracing and real-time inventory. It’s dramatically faster than handwriting or keying into Excel, saving our average produce client between 3,000 and 4,000 hours per year.

Increase the speed at which you receive and store goods in your warehouse. Scanning fruit as it comes off the truck means you can handle more trucks per day and free up part of the team to store it more quickly. Not only that, but our WMS allows your team to check fruit into specific warehouse locations and ensures they don’t receive more than was purchased.

Help your growers be the first in the region to know their payments! At Advantive, our Grower Payments tool has the flexibility to support any contract type, for any produce, tree-nut, or other product where grading determines payment amount. You can create your own custom attributes, and then leverage those attributes to determine Grower Price and calculate Quality Adjustments.

Attract new growers with Advantive’s Integrated Grower Portal. This customized portal allows you to give logins to your growers, and then only allow them to see test results your team has approved and released. As commodities are received and graded from the field, you have instant insight into receipt amounts, grades, and forecasted amounts owed per payment. And, if you use the Portal, so do your growers.

Every industry thinks of their goods differently, and agriculture is no different. Advantive’s produce processing solutions include tools for growers that allow for custom test design to support any commodity as well a unique grading or adjustment criteria.

  • Multi-Commodity Support: Many of our customers support growers with a variety of commodities. Our solutions are adaptable to fit different contracts, grading tests, and product between growers each with a distinct test.
  • Third-Party Labs: Our solutions support access by third party labs or graders, whether onsite or remote. This allows for the input or even upload of data from LIMS and other lab tools.

Our food processing software integrates directly into your ERP and your EDI systems. Together this builds a full sales and processing chain that gives you insight, and oversight, of your entire business in one set of reports.
