Accurate, efficient fishery management for seafood operations
CatchManager II is the fishery management component of Parity’s warehouse management suite. CatchManager II integrates seamlessly with ParityFactory Software, providing automatic tracing and materials management from the fishing grounds to the customer.
CatchManager II simplifies fish purchasing and settlements—bringing accuracy, efficiency and security to the largest use of cash for most seafood operations. The platform is specifically designed for fishery management, enabled for multi-site usage, and works in real-time even with spotty or no internet.
A key value of the software is Vessel Management. CatchManager II manages Vessel Settlements, Holdbacks, and Supply Sales to fishing vessels, while producing buying analytics.
For our Northwest customers, CatchManager II’s integration with eLandings and automated compliance reporting dramatically reduce errors and entry efforts.
Information at the right time, to the right people
Business intelligence capabilities are central to CatchManager II. The system generates customizable business analysis views based on standardized data that has been compiled across all enterprise sites. Integration across modules supports an even richer environment where data can be modeled to drive key business decisions across the company.
Familiar Data Analysis Tools
All system components include familiar data analysis tools, such as Excel, for fast and easy inquiries. Users can refine and design their own list views to meet job specific reporting needs. Pivot table lists, data filtering, searching and sorting are all intuitive, self-service features for creating these specialized views.
Instant Printed Reports and Data Export
Once users have shaped their data as needed, printed reports are easily generated from any system module. The grid’s contents (in the same layout as it appears on screen) can be exported to all popular formats, including RTF, PDF, XLSX, XLS, CSV.
eLandings Integration
eLandings Integration manages the process of importing tickets from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s eLandings system. Tickets are imported directly into CatchManager II where pricing and tax rules can be applied according to preconfigured settings. From there, users have an opportunity to review all data prior to posting.
Compliance Reporting
CatchManager II provides complete flexibility in meeting the reporting requirements of all government agencies. Reporting areas can be related to, or completely separate from, taxing districts. The system also support reporting requirements that may encompass different geographical breakdowns.
Universal Search
Unlimited browsing and search features make it easy to find what you need. Convenient hyperlinks throughout the system provide instant access to key data and configuration areas.
Raw Materials Purchasing
Fish ticket processing is easy for all species, seasons, plants, fleets and buying stations.
Products
CatchManager II supports all types of purchased products. User-defined attributes are configured to define species, gear, form, condition and any other factor that affects pricing, catch reporting, taxes, business analysis and accounting.
Multiple Premiums
Each ticket may contain multiple premiums. Premiums are set up by product and can be automatically added to a ticket.
Taxes & Deductions
Automatically handle deductions from tickets for association dues, garnishments, financing, etc. based on locations, vessels, species or other criteria. Deduction formulas may be based on weight or value in order to accommodate fishermen as well as company liabilities and accruals. The system manages any company-paid liabilities and accruals in the same manner. Integration with the general ledger and detailed deduction reports provide a complete audit trail of remittances to the agencies involved.
Flexible Pricing
CatchManager II supports multiple price lists based on the vessel account, species or season. For added reliability, the software maintains a complete audit trail of all price changes as well as history of the price list version. In the event of a price correction or revision,. the automatic price adjustment feature saves hours of manual, error prone calculations.
Fast Data Entry
Since high volume data entry is key to these busy operations, CatchManager II includes optimized data entry screens for entering large numbers of transactions with the fewest number of keystrokes. Even faster is the automated integration with eLanding in Alaska for our clients working in the Pacific.
Policies and Reporting
Centralized Configuration Management
CatchManager II supports central control of system configurations. This “command and control” model makes it possible to plan, configure and enforce corporate accounting policies. Common analytical structures enable the remote buying and processing operations to function as a single, integrated system.
System configurations are set at the home office and electronically published to all subscribing sites. The subscribing sites then send back completed transactions and updated accounts and permits
Consolidated Transaction Database
CatchManager II maintains a master central database that automatically receives and consolidates transactional data from all plants. The database includes transactions and master files such as tickets, charges, payment transactions, accounts and financial transactions (journal entries).
Financial Integration
CatchManager II automates the construction of general journal entries to match existing accounting systems. The system supports complex account structures (up to 10 account segments). Dynamic accounting rules drive the construction of journal entries based on data in the transactions such as fleet, plant, species and other product attributes. Journal entries may also be classified based on designated accounts for taxes, bank accounts, and fisher receivable/payable control accounts.
Fish Purchasing Analytics
Real-time reporting is available across all buying and processing operations by accessing the centralized CatchManager II database. With real time information feeding from plant operations users are able to access their own self-defined business intelligence views. Since everyone is reviewing data from the same source, managers across the enterprise can be sure that reports are uniform and reliable.
