This is how you can run a safer, stronger aquaculture business

Running a modern aquaculture business is more complex than ever. You face tighter regulations, rising costs, and increasing pressure from consumers and trading partners who demand full transparency and proof of quality. On top of that, risks like disease outbreaks, environmental changes and labor shortages mean you need more control and precision in your operations. 

At Cepheo, we specialize in helping aquaculture companies like yours tackle these challenges with the powerful, industry-specific solutions offered by Microsoft Dynamics 365. With our deep understanding of Nordic production needs and export requirements, we’re ready to support you in navigating these complexities. 

If you're looking to stay competitive, grow sustainably and build long-term trust in your brand, Dynamics 365 can help you take control of the complexity. 

Achieve total traceability from smolt to shipment 

When something goes wrong, like a bacterial issue in a fish batch, you need immediate answers about its origin and how to act fast. With Dynamics 365, you get full traceability across every stage of production, from smolt to slaughter and beyond. This isn’t just vital for quality control; it’s essential for meeting the strict documentation and revision requirements of export markets like the EU and Asia. 

Using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, you can manage the entire supply chain from production to delivery. It connects with IoT devices to monitor water conditions, fish health and other environmental factors in real time. This helps you make informed decisions, correct issues early and maintain optimal conditions throughout the cycle. 

By combining full traceability with real-time monitoring, you can immediately pinpoint and address problems like disease outbreaks, bacterial contamination or environmental shifts before they escalate, protecting both your stock and your bottom line. 

You’ll also benefit from detailed part number tracking tailored to aquaculture, giving you clear documentation of every input, batch and process step. Whether it's feed, equipment or fish movement, everything is logged and ready for review, helping you meet audit standards and minimize risk. 

Maximize efficiency and minimize downtime

You know how critical speed is in your business. From catching to shipping, any delay, whether from equipment breakdowns, regulatory holdups or manual error, can cost you valuable time and revenue. Dynamics 365 can help you stay on schedule and minimize disruptions. 

QR code scanning makes it fast and easy to track fish and materials through production and logistics, reducing manual entry and human error. And with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service, you can automate maintenance schedules and respond quickly when issues arise. The system uses real-time IoT data to monitor key indicators like oxygen levels and temperature, which helps prevent failures and keep your systems and your fish healthy. 

The result? Less downtime, fewer surprises and a smoother path from sea to table. 

Keep costs control and plan for growth 

Whether you’re managing a single site or scaling across regions, tight cost control is essential. Feed, energy and labor costs are rising and every decision counts. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance gives you the tools to gain clear insight into your financial performance helping you manage budgets, forecast expenses and make smarter, data-driven decisions. 

Because your financial systems are integrated with your production and supply chain tools, you gain real-time visibility into where your money is going and where you can improve. That’s a valuable advantage when balancing growth with sustainability. 

Build stronger relationships with your customers and partners 

Distributors and end customers expect more than a quality product, they want transparency, service and responsiveness. With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, you can manage customer interactions in one place, ensuring you have the full picture when responding to questions or feedback. 

That means faster answers, better support and stronger trust from the people you depend on. And in a global market where relationships matter more than ever, that trust can be a real differentiator. 

Lead with confidence in a changing industry 

Let’s face it: aquaculture isn’t getting simpler. But with the right systems in place, you can take control of the complexity and turn it into opportunity. Dynamics 365 helps you run a safer, more transparent and more efficient operation, one that’s ready to grow and adapt as the industry evolves. 

By combining traceability, IoT insights, smart maintenance and financial visibility in one platform, you can build a business that not only meets today’s demands but leads the way into the future. All while maintaining the highest standards of fish health and operational safety.
