Digital Logbooks for Smarter Fisheries

Built to simplify vessel operations and replace manual processes, SFS Fisheries offers e-logbooks, real-time catch reporting, and fleet management tools designed for smarter, more transparent fisheries.

Catch, record, report—without the paperwork.

SFS Fisheries simplifies data collection and reporting, helping fishers log trips with ease, and giving managers the oversight they need to run efficient, compliant, and transparent operations.

Log trips in minutes, not hours

Replace handwritten logs with an easy-to-use mobile app. Log trips, fishing events, catch and offloads in minutes—so you can spend less time on admin and more time on the water.

One dashboard. Everything in sight.

The operations dashboard gives managers a live view of vessels, landings, and catch events. It keeps all documentation, licences, and certifications in one place, streamlining fisheries management and simplifying compliance.

Built around your fishery, not the other way around

Works offline. Matches your gear type. Designed with fishers, not just software teams. SFS Fisheries fits your workflow without disrupting it—whether you're on deck or back at port.

E-Logbook App

Digitises trip logging with an intuitive, gear-specific tool built for skippers. Works offline, adapts to any fishing method, and captures exactly what’s needed—when it’s needed.

  • Offline Capability: Works online and offline to capture fishing trips, catch records, and landing data
  • Error-Free Records: Automated validation reduces manual errors and improves data accuracy
  • Multi-User Accessibility: Built for ease—intuitive, multilingual, and usable by both artisanal and commercial crews

Fisheries Management Dashboard

Gives managers and authorities a complete view of fleet activity—from trip submissions to licensing—so nothing gets missed, and everything is audit-ready.

  • Real-Time Oversight: Track landing operations across fleets and ensure regulatory compliance
  • Live Catch Data: Access trip and catch records by vessel, species, or port with automated checks
  • Centralised Control: Manage vessel activity, licences, and documentation in one place for faster regulatory submissions and streamlined oversight.

"The difference comes from working with a company that not only understands the IT functionality, but also the industry, and then the simplicity that’s required by the end user."
