Maritech announce that Montreal Fish has deployed Maritech Trading, a software solution tailored for their operational processes. Montreal Fish is a Canadian company engaged in importing and exporting seafood including farmed, organic and wild salmon. Thanks to large volume purchasing, preferential agreements with suppliers, and rigorously controlled operations, Montreal Fish ensures dependable delivery and freshness, all year long.

Montreal Fish has improved business operation including buying, selling, moving and traceability of seafood by partnering with Maritech to implement Maritech Trading, a solution that has been designed solely for seafood operations. The full software implementation included the successful deployment of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, integrated with Maritech Trading using Maritech’s ERP Any API.

“We are very impressed and excited with the Maritech Trading solution as it is tailored to our industry and our work processes. It works the way our business works and greatly assists us with collaborating with our supplier network. Maritech Trading ensures we are all on the same page and can easily integrate our planning and delivery. Now we can electronically import data from many of our suppliers, removing time consuming processes and sources of errors.”

Gabrielle Beaudry, VP Finance & Administration, Montreal Fish.

With Maritech Trading, Montreal Fish can easily manage traceability and chain of custody certification, which is of prime importance to the company in delivering sustainable and environmentally sound products. In addition, as a company that trades internationally, handling currency fluctuations is a core part of maintaining their bottom line.

“We worked closely with Montreal Fish to ensure they have the functionality, information and tools they need to manage key aspects of their business better and streamline operations. They have moved away from the constraints of spreadsheets to a platform that has data integrations, complete traceability, and control and are forging ahead, creating new, more efficient approaches that free up time to focus on the fundamentals of managing and growing their business.”

Blair Shelton, Managing Director of Maritech NA.

As an international company with not only strong roots in Norway but also a sustained commitment to the North American market, with home grown offices in both Canada and the US, Maritech is especially excited at the go live of Maritech Trading by Montreal Fish.

“An important part of our strategy is to grow internationally. Going live with Montreal Fish is a good start to our 2019 expansion plan. Our software solutions are tailored for the global seafood industry and more and more customers are improving business control and ensuring full traceability by deploying our solutions.”

Janne T. Morstøl, CEO, Maritech.

Maritech will present its next generation of cloud-based seafood software tools at this years’ Boston Seafood Show. Seafood companies, from small traders to large multi-national organizations, are recognizing the cost and efficiency savings as well as the greater collaboration possibilities across the entire value chain that can be achieved by taking advantage of the new trends in digitalization.

“Cloud-based solutions have attracted a lot of our investment in the last year and the already underlying sales success of these solutions shows the seafood sector is embracing the cost-savings and efficiency these solutions can deliver. Although Maritech already offered a trading platform that is favored by the industry, the digitalization trend is still in its early stages. We already see signs that current and potential customers – both in Norway and internationally – aim to capitalize on the expected digitalization boom in the seafood sector.”

Janne T. Morstøl, CEO Maritech

Maritech expects the trend towards cloud-enabled solutions to strengthen in 2018 as seafood producers demonstrate the drive and determination to lead the way in adopting new technologies for efficient and sustainable seafood production.
