Seafood export operations
in one workspace
Validate compliance, generate documents, and ship to Japan, China and Hong Kong in minutes, not hours. Built for Australian seafood exporters.
Who it is for
Australian seafood exporters and the brokers and forwarders who work with them. Built for the businesses that actually touch the documents.
Exporting seafood from Australia is challenging
Three things break, on every shipment. None of them are the product.
Hours per shipment in spreadsheets and WhatsApp
Every shipment means rebuilding documents in Word and Excel, chasing data across WhatsApp threads, and triple-checking JAEPA attestation wording. One typo and the shipment doesn't move.
Compliance rules keep changing and it's impossible to keep up
Japan updates an import requirement. MICOR posts a notice. CCSBT rolls out electronic catch documentation. You find out when something gets rejected at the port.
The whole process lives in one person's head
Your Export Manager knows every step. The business runs through them. When they're on leave or move on, exports stall.

Calculations that matter
A $20M exporter doing 100 shipments a year spends $15k to $30k on broker doc fees alone, before counting time, rejections, or key-person risk.
Assumes Export Manager loaded cost of $95 / hr. Excludes the cost of a single rejected shipment.
Estimated annual value
$48,500/year
