In today’s global marketplace, the seafood industry faces mounting pressure to deliver safe, sustainable, and ethically sourced products. Consumers, regulators, and trade partners demand a high level of traceability and transparency, ensuring that every step of the seafood supply chain—from ocean to plate—is verifiable and trustworthy. Bluicity’s innovative technology solutions are transforming this landscape, enabling seafood businesses to meet these challenges head on.

The Challenge of the Seafood Supply Chain

Seafood supply chains are notoriously complex. Products travel long distances, undergo multiple handling stages, and require strict temperature controls to maintain freshness and safety. Any lapse in monitoring or data gaps can lead to spoilage, health risks, or costly recalls. In this environment, the ability to capture real-time data and maintain a detailed record of every transaction is crucial. Stakeholders need a system that not only tracks the journey—from fishing vessel to processing plant, from distribution center to retail—but also validates the conditions under which the product was handled.

Bluicity’s Technological Approach

Bluicity delivers a suite of IoT-enabled solutions designed specifically for industries where precision and accountability are paramount. By integrating advanced tracking and traceability systems, Bluicity enables seafood businesses to:

The technology empowers businesses to maintain detailed, tamper-proof records required for audits and regulatory reporting.
