CatchFlow

EU seafood compliance, automated. Digital catch certification for Icelandic processors — from landing data to CATCH certificate in minutes, not hours.

Built for SME seafood processors who currently generate EU IUU CATCH certificates manually. CatchFlow integrates directly with Fiskistofa regulatory data to auto-populate vessel, species, and landing information.

The Problem

Icelandic seafood processors exporting to the EU must generate CATCH certificates for every shipment — a regulatory requirement under EU IUU Regulation 1005/2008. The current process is manual: paper forms, spreadsheet lookups, phone calls to verify landing data, and hand-typed CN codes.

A single error means rejected shipments, customs delays, and potential trade sanctions. For SME processors handling dozens of certificates per month, this is a compliance burden that consumes hours of skilled labor.
