Seafood Processing
Seafood processors can maximize profits by quickly transferring, gutting, cleaning and storing their products. Use of automation to speed these processes and other technological advances place additional burdens on data processing, material tracking and financial reporting for timeliness of information. Scientific advances drive development of new products such as food flavorings, pharmaceuticals and beauty products. While innovative processors are finding success with on line sales of specialty or heirloom species as well as sales directly to restaurants, small wholesalers and consumers. This diverse and demanding range of opportunities for growth and profitability create increasing pressure for business to be able to effectively understand and evaluate critical performance measures in real time. With factors such as packaging accounting for 50% of inventory valuation and vulnerability to fuel costs affecting all areas of the operations from refrigeration to transportation it is increasingly important to find suitable business software tools that enhance business visibility and support acquisition of technology opportunities moving forward. The Horizons Manufacturing Suite of products, developed and integrated solely with Microsoft DynamicsGP provides small and medium sized processors the opportunity to capture the business relevant data of their operations across a wide range of processing environments. This establishes a reliable technology platform that integrates with hand held devices, measuring equipment and web transactions for seafood processors that will grow with their business opportunites.
