UK’S LARGEST FISH PROCESSING SITE “REAPING BENEFITS” OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

UK’s largest fish processing site “reaping benefits” of digital transformation. Mowi Consumer Products UK, which operates the largest fish processing site in the UK, has transformed its production, safety and quality processes after a digitisation drive.
Through a company-wide digitisation initiative, Mowi has managed to cut its paper-based records by 90% using the mobile-first workplace operations platform SafetyCulture. It aims to become near-paperless in future.
Digitisation has also enabled faster processes and increased capacity, meaning the company has more than doubled its product and quality audits to over 7,000 per month, compared to 3,000 when processes were paper-based. Mowi’s data shows a new audit or check is created every five minutes.
Having digital records in the SafetyCulture platform has not only saved employees time, but also significantly improved traceability, speeding up the retrieval of information within minutes and making evidence easily available for customers and auditors.
It also provides Mowi’s management team with dashboards of real-time frontline data previously locked away in storage, enabling them to identify trends and drive continuous improvement.
Mowi Consumer Products UK has achieved AA+ accreditation from the Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standard for the past 4 years, the highest rating for food packaging businesses.
Mowi Consumer Products UK’s Senior Quality Manager David Bett said: “We’ve found so many functional benefits from digitising our processes. But the real impact has come from the additional confidence of being able to prove our processes to customers and auditors, and show them the resulting data. That’s really given us an extra competitive advantage and is a contributing factor to retaining our accreditation.”
Anna added:
“In Rosyth, we’re very much a centre of excellence. The company is full of passionate people who invest their time and careers in improving processes, and we’re reaping the benefits of that.
Global technology company SafetyCulture supports UK customers from its office in Manchester. Its platform is used by more than 25,000 UK businesses, and worldwide it powers over a billion checks each year, delivers approximately 85,000 lessons per day and informs millions of corrective actions.
