Grieg Seafood

First Maritech Transport Planning Pilot live in cloud 

The innovative team at Grieg Seafood is known for their ability to ensure to first-mover advantages.

As the first pilot customer, they are now live in our new cloud solution Maritech Transport Planning.    

In everything they do, Grieg Seafood is paving the way for more efficient and streamlined processes. When starting their new sales organization in January 2021, they decided to become our first big customer in Maritech Purchase & Sales, while working closely with us on user experience improvements and the further development of new functionality. 

At the same time, the Grieg team kicked off their seafood logistics operations. As the need for system support soon became urgent, several years before Maritech Cloud was ready to cover these processes, they decided to use our old Timpex TMS transport management while waiting for the new software being developed. In January 2024 the wait was over, as Grieg went live after phase one of their Maritech Transport Planning pilot project with us, which started in May last year.   

We have talked to Terje Larssen, Supply Chain Logistics Manager at Grieg Seafood, about the project and background.

Could you walk us through the journey of implementing the new system with Maritech? 

Terje: We began exploring the possibility some time ago. Initially, there was a process of pitching our vision and discussing the scope of the project. Maritech proposed starting with their Timpex TMS, which proved to be a sensible approach. After the planned two year-period using this system as our temporary solution,  we have now left it behind and completed the first step of our transition to fully cloud-based supply chain management. The project started with an initial phase last summer, where we mapped needs and exchanged experience with other systems. The goal was to reveal the best from all perspectives. Now, with the go-live after phase one, much is in place. The Maritech project team has done a very good job so far.  

How do you envision the impact of this new system on your operations moving forward? 

Terje: With the new system, we aim to simplify and streamline our logistics operations, ultimately improving efficiency and control. We anticipate significant benefits in terms of enhanced visibility, better decision-making, and ultimately, a more seamless customer experience. 

After the next two project phases, I believe we will have reached the result we are aiming for, a setup where everything runs seamlessly between Maritech Purchase & Sales and our transport management in Maritech Transport Planning. The future-proof and scalable way to manage our seafood logistics.
