UK parliament talks about KOSMOS as a solution for fish export issues
During an International Trade Committee on the EU-UK trading relationship, the British House of Commons zoomed in on the paperwork problems the fishing industry is currently facing, and how a digital platform in the cloud like KOSMOS could save the day.
Independent marine and fisheries consultant Mrs. Terri Portmann was invited by the Committee to share her knowledge on the UK fishing industry, and to give her opinion on how to proceed.
Mrs. Portmann pitched the idea of a UK-based central data storage and management platform in the form of a nationwide platform overarching local fishing harbours' auction systems.
She explains: “This system would significantly improve the reliability of the data, the ease of both input and output of data by all users (sellers, buyers, exporters, authorities) and the simplicity of dematerialised export paperwork."
Being a well-established consultant in the UK fishing industry, Mrs. Portmann knew that Aucxis E-Trade Systems recently developed KOSMOS, the standard digital trading platform in the cloud.
Given the fact that several UK fish markets like Brixham Trawler Agents, Shetland Seafood Auction and Stevenson Newlyn have already made the switch and are very pleased with the wide range of possibilities KOSMOS has to offer, she decided to get in touch with us.
Mrs. Portman strongly believes that the digital platform KOSMOS can offer an answer to the significant additional export paperwork in the UK fishing industry.
KOSMOS cannot only be be used to process the fish supply and to sell the products: also the after-sales processes are covered.
Reports can easily be exported to local and central authorities or third parties to support with the EU import process.
KOSMOS collects a complete package of data, which is very useful for the preparation of EU-compliant export paperwork.
The KOSMOS data can be efficiently consulted online by various users – from suppliers, buyers, exporters and auction staff to the entire fishing industry – when using their PC, tablet or smartphone.
► Aucxis' E-Trade Manager Patrick Bauwens
Aucxis has more than 35 years of experience in automating and streamlining the sales processes in the fishing, fruit, vegetable and flower industry and has recently developed the standard digital trading platform KOSMOS in the cloud. This platform facilitates the processing of the supply and the organisation of the sale within fish auctions and digitises in a very easy way the detailed administration and reporting requested from many of our auction customers, their suppliers, buyers, fish and sea products exporters, local authorities and producer organisations.
It offers possibilities to process the own fish supply, either directly through input in KOSMOS, or indirectly via external systems. Fish data (like the sort and size of fish or lots, the fishing vessel's name and ID, the date and time at which fish was caught, landed, sold, etc.) is stored on the KOSMOS platform and accessible to the users to draw product-related data from. Furthermore, links can easily be made with the electronic logbook of each fishing vessel, as well as with a back-office or ERP package.
The sale of the products can be organised on the platform through one or several auction clocks.
Also the after-sales processes are covered: the user can draw up reports and statistics based on the saved transaction and supply data. These reports can also easily be exported to local and central authorities or third parties to support with the EU import process. KOSMOS collects a complete package of data, which is very useful for the preparation of EU-compliant export paperwork. The KOSMOS data can be efficiently consulted online by various users – from suppliers, buyers, exporters and auction staff to the entire fishing industry – when using their PC, tablet or smartphone.
Aucxis is a world leader in digital trading systems design and implementation and serves a broad portfolio of customers worldwide. A UK-based central data storage and management platform (in the form of a nationwide platform overarching local fishing harbours' auction systems) would significantly improve the reliability of the data, the ease of both input and output of data by all users (sellers, buyers, exporters, authorities) and the simplicity of dematerialised export paperwork.Aucxis has already digitised 65 fish markets and has been working together with the UK fish markets such as Brixham Trawler Agents, Shetland Seafood Auction, Plymouth Trawler Agents, Newlyn Fish Market,... for decades, which also gives us a very good knowledge of how the UK fish auctions work in comparison with other countries
