CatchLog was pleased to be involved in this year’s Seafood Directions Conference at the Gold Coast supporting the fishing industry and searching for new solutions to challenges and issues faced by our fishers.
Of particular interest was a workshop facilitated by Bob Stanley from AFMA. In this presentation he was able to identify savings for Fisheries and vessel owners who use electronic log books rather than paper logs. Bob said, “If there was to be 85% to 100% take up of “Lite E-Logs” software by ETBF operators at $500 each there is a potential $1,800 saving in their levy in the following year.
E-Logs are a more equitable option for fishers.”
Fishermen save with new E-logs choices
Leading commercial fishing software supplier CatchLog Trading has repackaged their software suite to give Australian fishermen more choice and offer more accessible and affordable products.
CatchLog Managing Director, Dieter Bohm, said the repackaging allows Skippers and multiple vessel owners to choose only the software relevant for their vessels.
“Not only are they saving on their software purchase, fishermen can also gain some real business advantages as they save both time and money in reporting, identifying and utilising key catch data,” Mr Bohm said.
“Many skippers require different functions of their software. The CatchLog Food Safety Manager, for example, assists with traceability for export requirements, but is only needed on vessels required to report to AQIS. Other vessels, due to their location and type of fishery they work in, require a Quota Manager. Some Skippers want to be able to call up data on their most recent catch or compare their catches over many seasons to identify best locations for fishing in current conditions. Tailoring the software to suit the need makes it easy for vessel owners to take advantage of our software’s capabilities without straining their budget,” said Mr Bohm.
CatchLog products help Skippers to realise productivity advantages by providing real time data on catch, quota management, crew management and logs, quality assurance for retailer arrangements and reporting functions for AQIS and other Approved Arrangements. Some of the biggest savings have been realised by those multi vessel owners for who efficient data capture via CatchLog has resulted in lower fuel consumption.
