Introducing the latest CatchLog version.
Added: 25/02/2008

An Even Better Program For You!

CatchLog continues to take on board the feedback from its end users � Fishermen and the Fishing Industry � and incorporate it into new features in our continually upgraded program.

The latest version CatchLog features:

� THE LATEST MAPPING TOOL

This allows you to select your fishery on a World Map that gives you the ability to navigate around the map and create a chart for the precise area you are working in. It is easy to select specific management areas of any shape. Alternatively you can select the fishery by entering latitude and longitude into the table.

� QUOTA MANAGER

This function provides Conversion Rates for easy calculation of whole fish value of filleted product.

� CRAB & CRAYFISH TRAPPING

A Crab & Crayfish specific program component has been included in response to strong demand from this fishing sector in Australia, Canada and the United States. This is an easy to use tool that adds significant data to the fisherman�s catch history records. This data provides useful information for planning future fishing activity. Key functions include automatic entry of trap points as they are dropped into the water as well as all the standard CatchLog functions of recording catch history, product on board, unloads, wages etc. As the vessels approaches a set trap the program automatically brings it up on screen ready for active data entry on the catch record etc.

� EVEN MORE HELP MOVIES

While the CatchLog range of programs are known for their easy to use style, CatchLog V7.1 provides a HELP MOVIE on each and every page throughout the program to provide users with the best possible online support should they require clarification of any aspect. This function is currently available in English, French and Portuguese. 

February 2007 Launch for CatchLog V7.
Added: 18/10/2006

The long awaited CatchLog V7 will be officially launched in February 2007. This will be the culmination of the development of this latest, versatile CatchLog version which can be customised to suit any fishery anywhere in the world.

CatchLog V7 will also offer multi-language functions, further enhancing its capacity to service the global fishing industry.

Already well established in Australia and enjoying strong interest from New Zealand, Canada, Iceland and the Falkland Islands, CatchLog will soon be well recognised around the world as the most versatile, easy to use electronic logbook and vessel management system for the commercial fishing industry.

AQIS and CatchLog join forces.
Added: 18/10/2006

The Australian Government's Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) has recognised the usefulness and reach of the CatchLog program within Australia and will soon incorporate into it electronic copies of the various forms and other documentation which fishermen must complete in order to comply with AQIS regulations for seafood exports.

CatchLog welcomes the opportunity to work with AQIS and is pleased to be able to support this process which aims to facilitate trade based on effective food safety and suitability procedures and accurate descriptions of product. Incorporating the documents into the program gives fishermen easy online access to the necessary forms and further reduced their on board paperwork load.

AFMA gives thumbs up to latest beta of CatchLog V7.
Added: 02/10/2006

I write to thank you for making time to demonstrate the latest version of your CatchLog software earlier this month.

As you are aware, CatchLog is one of only two companies that AFMA has tested and endorsed as meeting our specifications for Commonwealth fishing vessels to provide electronic logbooks to AFMA. CatchLog has had the greatest uptake by Commonwealth fishers with a significant number of Northern Prawn vessels now using the software. This reflects the efforts you have made to work collaboratively with AFMA to ensure development of a product that best meets the needs of this fishery.

The latest version is more generic than the earlier one and will make CatchLog suitable for other fishing methods in other fisheries. I look forward to seeing further take-up by the fishing industry and hope that it facilitates the gradual shift from traditional paper logbook reporting to a more efficient and faster electronic approach.
