Overview

Mauritania’s capital, Nouakchott, is one of West Africa’s busiest fishing hubs, supplying seafood to Europe, the Middle East, and regional African markets. With rising export demand, fish processing companies must manage cold-chain workflows, strict hygiene regulations, real-time stock updates, and buyer expectations.

Traditional manual systems often slow down processing, cause stock losses, and reduce coordination across procurement, cleaning, grading, freezing, packaging, and export operations. Odoo ERP solves these challenges by digitizing the entire fish processing supply chain—from catch to container—helping Mauritanian processors increase accuracy, reduce waste, and deliver consistent quality.

To enter and grow in Mauritania’s fishing and fish processing sector, companies need:

1. Strong Cold-Chain Infrastructure

Ice plants, cold rooms, insulated storage, and temperature-controlled logistics to keep seafood fresh.

2. Compliance and Traceability

Accurate documentation for hygiene approvals, batch traceability, and export certifications (EU-compliant).

3. Skilled Workforce

Trained teams in cleaning, filleting, sorting, packing, and quality assessment.

4. Reliable Supplier & Fleet Management

Coordination with fishing vessels, raw catch suppliers, and transportation partners.

5. Integrated Operations & Reporting

A central system to manage procurement, production, inventory, sales, and quality checks without manual errors.

To compete globally, Mauritanian fisheries need a scalable ERP system like Odoo to streamline end-to-end operations.
