Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best seafood traceability and processing software?

The right fit should connect receiving weights, vessel and lot records, cold-chain temperatures, processing yield, inventory, and the final customer shipment. WeighPay supports that traceability flow so the record captured at receiving follows the lot through processing, storage, and shipping.

How does seafood software support FDA HACCP and FSMA compliance?

WeighPay includes HACCP plan management with critical control point monitoring and verification records, and it meets the FDA Food Traceability Rule (FSMA) with complete lot tracking and electronic records. Audit trails, temperature logs, and backward/forward traceability reports generate instantly, so you walk into inspections and respond to recalls with everything indexed and searchable.

Can it monitor cold chain and temperature from receiving to shipping?

Yes. WeighPay logs temperature automatically at receiving, storage, processing, and shipping points with cold-chain verification and alert notifications. If a reading drifts out of range, the system flags it immediately, protecting both food safety and product quality across the entire handling process.

How does lot traceability work from vessel to customer?

At receiving, WeighPay captures vessel info, catch date, species, weight, and temperature. Processing generates lot numbers and tracks yield; storage manages inventory by lot, location, and expiration; and shipping records customer delivery with full documentation. The result is true backward and forward traceability — any lot can be traced from the originating vessel to the final customer.

Does it manage inventory with FIFO/FEFO rotation and expiration alerts?

Yes. WeighPay tracks real-time inventory by species, grade, lot number, and location with automated FIFO/FEFO rotation and expiration alerts. Because seafood is time-sensitive, the system prioritizes the right stock for shipment and warns you before product ages out, reducing spoilage and shrink.

How much does seafood processing and distribution software cost?

Pricing depends on your operation, so we start with a short demo of the traceability workflow from receiving through shipping. Once we confirm WeighPay is a fit, we share current pricing and a written scope covering scale integration, lot traceability, temperature monitoring, HACCP/FSMA compliance, inventory management, customer accounts, and QuickBooks sync. Book a focused demo and we'll review your requirements first.

Does seafood software work with my existing scales?

Yes. WeighPay captures precise catch weights on any major scale brand, so you keep your existing receiving, processing, and shipping scales. Each weight ties directly to the lot record, feeding traceability, yield, and inventory without re-keying.

Can it produce traceability and recall reports for an FDA audit?

Yes. Because WeighPay captures vessel, catch date, species, lot number, weight, and temperature at each step, it generates backward and forward traceability reports instantly. During a recall or inspection you can trace any lot from the originating vessel to the final customer in seconds.
