Seafood · SFPA-ready traceability

Seafood traceability software for processors and smokehouses.
Landing to smokehouse to dispatch, with the SFPA in mind.

Seafood traceability carries data no other sector does: catch area, production method, gear type, vessel or farm references, information that must survive processing and appear correctly downstream. The SFPA inspects against it, and buyers increasingly demand it for sustainability claims. Keystone carries these attributes on intake lots and holds the chain through brining, smoking, filleting and packing.

Intake lots carry catch/consignment data: area, method, vessel or farm reference, dates
Chain survives processing: filleting, brining, smoking, packing, with weights reconciled

What seafood adds

Catch data must survive your process.

Consumer-information rules for fishery products (EU Reg. 1379/2013) put catch area, production method and species identity on labels, and business-to-business paperwork must carry the lot identification behind them. The operational challenge is that this data arrives at intake and must still be correct after the fish has been filleted Monday, brined Tuesday and smoked Wednesday. Keystone attaches the catch/consignment attributes to the intake lot; transformations inherit lineage, so the pack dispatched on Friday still knows exactly which landing it came from, and proves it in one signed PDF.

Built for the workflow

From the quay to the multiple.

Multi-consignment intake

A day's intake can span multiple vessels, farms or wholesalers, each consignment is its own lot with its own attributes.

Process-step traceability

Fillet, brine, smoke, slice, pack, each step is a transformation with weights in and out, so yield is visible and the mass balance closes despite the (significant) processing losses seafood carries.

Short-life dispatch discipline

Dates travel with lots; FEFO ordering surfaces short-dated stock before it becomes waste.

SFPA / DAFM inspection pack

For any lot: intake references and catch data, every process step, QC records, every dispatch with customers and quantities, exportable on demand.

Honest scope

Processing traceability, not catch certificates or quota systems.

Keystone is the processing-side traceability, QC and dispatch layer: it holds and evidences the chain from intake to customer. It does not replace catch certification, quota or vessel-reporting systems, it consumes their references at intake and keeps them attached to everything you make. Built with an Irish farmhouse producer as founding partner; the intake-attributes and transformation model fits seafood processing directly.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask.

Can intake lots carry catch area and production method?

Yes, intake lots carry the consignment attributes you record (catch area, method, vessel/farm reference, landing date). They stay attached through processing and appear in trace reports and dispatch documentation.

How do you handle processing yield losses?

Each process step records weights in and out, so the loss is explicit per step rather than a mystery at mass-balance time. Filleting and smoking yields become visible management data as a side effect.

Does this satisfy an SFPA inspection?

Keystone produces the lot-level chain and records inspectors ask for, intake references, process steps, dispatches, quantities, as a signed PDF with an immutable audit trail. The inspection outcome always depends on your practices; the evidence stops being the problem.

Mixed business, fresh counter plus wholesale?

Both record against the same lots. Direct counter sales are captured as quantities so the mass balance closes; wholesale dispatches carry full batch-coded documentation.

How long to go live?

Pilots scoped to go live in 30 days on real production data. €790/month flat, implementation from €4,950 fixed-fee.
