Odoo ERP Configuration & Customisation for Fishing & Fish-Processing Businesses
Detail
In this engagement, I will deliver the following configuration & customisation tasks for your fishery/processing business:
-
Catch & Trip Management — configure modules to record boat, crew, trip planning, catch logging (fish type, weight, time/ date, location), expenses, and profitability analysis. This lets you track every fishing trip end-to-end.
-
Inventory & Processing Workflow Setup — configure receive, stock, processing, storage, freezing/ chilling steps as per your processing flow. Manage raw fish, processed fish, packaging, lot numbers, batch tracking.
-
Quality Control & Traceability — set up quality control checkpoints (size, weight, quality, freshness) at various stages (receiving, processing, packaging). Enable lot/serial number tracking to know exactly when and how fish was processed, stored, and dispatched. This helps maintain quality standards and meet regulatory or export requirements.
-
Stock Movement & FIFO / Batch Management — configure stock movement rules (first-in-first-out or batch-based), manage expiry dates, storage conditions, and waste/ scrap handling for damaged or unsellable fish products.
-
Order, Dispatch & Delivery Management — configure sales orders, packing, shipping/delivery scheduling, dispatch tracking to customers or distributors.
-
Waste & Scrap Management — configure workflows to record waste, damaged stock, scrap disposal or reprocessing, with proper logging and audit trail.
-
Reporting, Analytics & Dashboard — configure dashboards and reports for catch summaries, processing throughput, stock levels, quality metrics, waste statistics, profitability, orders & dispatch status. This gives real-time visibility on operations.
-
Role-based Access & User Permissions — set up user roles so that boat crew, processing staff, store managers, quality controllers, and admin have appropriate access rights.
-
Integration (if required) — configure or set up integration points (e.g. POS, logistics, export documentation modules) to fit with your business ecosystem.
If you run a fishing company, seafood processing plant or fishery business — you know how complex operations get: catch logging, boat/crew management, fish receiving, processing, storage, quality control, stock movement, dispatch, and compliance. These operations often run across many stages simultaneously, and managing them with spreadsheets or manual logs can quickly become chaotic.
With this gig, I will configure and customise Odoo ERP specifically for fishing / fish-processing businesses. I set up workflows for catch & trip management, inventory, processing, quality control, traceability, stock movement, waste handling, dispatch and reporting — giving you a unified, transparent, audit-ready system tailored to your operations.
This is a customisation & configuration only service — no heavy software development, just expert configuration of Odoo modules to match your business needs.
Benefits
Using this configured Odoo ERP solution, your fishing/fish-processing business will get these benefits:
-
Streamlined operations — all processes from catch to dispatch are tracked in a unified system rather than spread over spreadsheets or multiple tools.
-
Quality assurance & traceability — ability to trace each batch of fish from catch to customer, maintain quality control at each stage, reduce risk of spoilage or non-compliance.
-
Accurate stock & inventory management — avoid overstocking, understocking, and wastage; manage stock based on real data (date, batch, quality, FIFO).
-
Transparency & audit-ready logs — automatic logging of all actions (receiving, processing, stock moves, waste, dispatch), ideal for audits, compliance, exports.
-
Better decision-making through data — dashboards and reports give you clear insights on yield, wastage, production efficiency, profitability, customer orders.
-
Reduced manual errors & time savings — manual tracking is error-prone and time-consuming; ERP automation reduces human error and speeds up workflows.
-
Scalability — as your business grows (more boats, more processing capacity, multiple warehouses, export orders), your ERP system scales with you.
Our Experience
At Zolute Consulting, we have worked with ERP clients in multiple industries including manufacturing, distribution, agriculture-related processing — and we understand how critical traceability, inventory control, quality, and compliance are in food-related businesses.
The features of Odoo make it well suited for fish processing — several Odoo-based fishery/fish-processing modules exist to handle everything from catch logging to quality control to batch traceability.
With our experience in ERP configuration and understanding of workflows, we bring best practices tailored for fisheries / seafood processing industries rather than generic ERP setups. That means you get a setup aligned to real-world operations, not just standard templates.
What We Provide
When you purchase this gig, you will receive:

Training session(s) for your staff — to ensure correct usage: how to log catches, receive inventory, process fish, record waste, dispatch orders.

Post-configuration support for a short period (once-over, troubleshooting, small tweaks) to make sure everything runs smoothly after go-live.
-
A ready-to-use system that supports scaling: additional boats, warehouses, processing lines, multiple grades/fish types, export orders, etc.
If you want to transform your fishing or seafood processing operations from spreadsheets and manual chaos into a clean, automated, traceable, and scalable ERP-driven flow — this gig is for you. I focus purely on configuration and customisation, using Odoo as the backbone. You get a tailored system ready to run, with documentation and training included.
