Queen Salmon is a new salmon trader based in Lofoten. With a small team and long workdays, they needed a system that worked from day one. They chose Maritech Cloud.
About Queen Salmon
Queen Salmon is an exporter that buys and sells salmon from their district office in Bodø, with their main supplier and owner Isqueen based in Ure, Lofoten. The team consists of four employees, three of whom use Maritech Cloud.
An easy choice
Diana Isabel Mendes Santos was a super user at her previous work when the company moved from Trading to Maritech Cloud. When Queen Salmon was established and Diana employed, she already knew the system well, so the choice was simple.
“We’re a small team so it’s important that we do what we know, and don’t have to start over with new systems.”
Queen Salmon needed to get up and running fast, and Diana knew exactly what she needed. Pricing was also similar across providers.
A fast implementation
The SaaS contract was signed right after Easter, and Queen Salmon went live with Purchase & Sales on May 21. The implementation took about a month and includes:
- Purchase & Sales
- ERP ANY integration with PowerOffice
- Factoring
“I wanted to go live as fast as possible, and I was lucky with the team from Maritech. They were very helpful.”
A common language across the industry
When more companies in the value chain use Maritech, everyday work gets easier for everyone. Large exporters are moving to Maritech Cloud, and warehouses, carriers, and lists all work the same way. Other customers, in seafood and in other industries, are adopting it too, which makes it easy to work across company lines. When Diana runs into something, she can call her contacts at other companies to see if they’ve hit the same issue, and she gets help from Maritech when she needs it.
When companies share the same platform, they can see what’s possible and learn from each other.
“The more companies that use Maritech, the easier it gets. If we see a partner create a proforma invoice file, then so can we.”
Everyday life
Diana’s days are never the same, but that’s what happens when she handles different departments, focusing mainly in backoffice.
With only a few people and long days, Queen Salmon needs tools that save time, and that’s what Maritech helps them do.
Factoring is up and running and works well: just a few clicks to turn it on and off. Diana, who used Trading earlier in her career, finds Purchase & Sales fresher, simpler, and more efficient.
“Everything we can do to save time gives us an enormous amount back.”
