Fishking Processors, Inc. Chooses Coolearth Software to Improve Inventory Management

Seattle - December 30, 2002

Fishking Processors, Inc., the #1 processor of specialty seafood items in the nation serving the U.S. and Canada, has selected Coolearth Software to improve inventory management throughout their entire operation, including outside forwarding warehouses.

As part of their commitment to maintaining their position of leadership, Fishking was looking for a supply chain execution solution that would help them streamline plant flow, manage and control inventory levels, monitor and protect products against damage, spoilage and theft, and integrate seamless with their current ERP system.

“When we first approached Fishking about taking a look at our Whistle SCE solution, they were impressed by its ability to integrate tightly with Adage ERP,” said David Zimmerman, Coolearth President and CEO.

Whistle SCE enables total plant transparency in order to support supply chain initiatives relying on accurate, real-time inventory and production data. Whistle integrates the business with the shop floor, leveraging existing assets such as back office and process control systems.

Fishking will rollout Whistle to all of their distribution and processing plants including those in California, Alabama, and Washington.
