Mabel Systems Seafood Traceability Software

Mabel Systems is a Canadian software company in Atlantic Canada that builds traceability and inventory tools for seafood buyers and processors, especially for live lobster and crab. It describes itself as one of the first companies certified by the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST).

The platform traces product down to each crate when it is received at the wharf, using waterproof barcode tags and scanners, one-tap label printing and real-time tracking of inventory and production costs. The Wharfside app supports data capture at the dock, and water quality sensors send SMS or email alerts for holding tanks. Data structures follow the GDST standard to meet retailer, regulator and export market requirements.

• Crate tracking: Traces product to each crate at wharf receiving.
• Waterproof tags: Barcode tags and scanners built for wet environments.
• Label printing: One-tap printing of labels.
• Inventory and costs: Real-time stock and production cost tracking.
• Wharfside app: Captures landing data at the dock.

• A Vietnamese live crab or lobster trader tracking crates from landing to export. 2) A shrimp processor monitoring holding-tank water quality with alerts. 3) A seafood exporter producing GDST-compliant records for US importers.

• Crate-level traceability from wharf to shipment supports export and retailer audits. 2) Real-time inventory and cost tracking improves margin control. 3) Water quality alerts help reduce losses of live seafood in holding tanks. 4) GDST certification eases data exchange with buyers.

Seafood importers in the US, EU and Asia increasingly require GDST-aligned key data elements, and live seafood exporters must prove origin and handling. Vietnamese seafood buyers and live lobster or crab traders face similar data demands from importers and retailers.
