A fish trading and processing ERP built for export traceability
A Bangladesh seafood business buys fish from suppliers, sorts, grades, processes and packages it in five product forms, moves it between two facilities, a retail shop and third-party cold storage, and sells to both businesses and consumers. SDS built one system around a single rule: the numbers must be true and the history must be complete.
- Every kilogram is traced from supplier delivery through sorting, grading, processing, packaging and sale on an append-only ledger - the same query that answers a product recall.
- Weight conservation is enforced as a system rule, with a nightly integrity check that fails loudly rather than letting stock quietly drift.
- Processing that legitimately changes weight - trimming losses, batter and marinade gains - is recorded as measured change, not assumed.
- The paper log sheets the plant already kept - freezer temperature, scale calibration, metal detector checks - became scheduled digital records with sign-off and corrective actions.
- Purchase orders are received in stages as deliveries arrive, with rejections logged at the door, and a large delivery can be bulk-loaded from a spreadsheet instead of typed in line by line.
- One point-of-sale and invoicing screen handles both counter sales and business orders, selling by weight or by packaged unit, with discount limits, VAT and Bangla-language invoices built in.
- Stock moving between the plants, the retail shop and outside cold storage is tracked as in-transit until the receiving side confirms what actually arrived, with a printable delivery slip.
- Cost follows each batch through every step of processing, so profit and loss, supplier payables and customer receivables stay accurate without separate manual bookkeeping.
