OlCatch includes GIS component, providing an intuitive map interface for visualising vessel tracks, fishing activities, marine protected areas, and customisable geographic layers.

Complete Data Collection and Reporting

OlCatch supports comprehensive data collection and reporting across all operational needs: compliance, commercial, environmental, and scientific. The system generates reports in any required format and transmits them seamlessly to the main server or any authorise 3rd party.

Benefits of using OlCatch

Data Quality & Integration

Centralized fleet-wide data collection delivering high-quality information to a coordinated database.

Flexibility & Customization

Configurable for any vessel type, fishing method, or operational complexity.

Compliance Made Simple

Automated reporting with built-in validation prevents non-compliant submissions while requiring minimal user knowledge of regulations.

Smart Transmission

Multiple delivery methods with cost optimization and data compression to reduce transmission expenses.

Operational Intelligence

Integrated GIS mapping, vessel tracking, and geo-fencing enable optimized fishing decisions, reduced fuel costs, and bycatch avoidance.

Efficiency & Accuracy

Streamlined data entry with intelligent defaults, look-up tables, and validation tools that minimize time and human error.

Advanced OlCatch Features

OlCatch application is a bespoke software and its core deployment
can be enhanced with a range of optional features.

Add-on features may be implemented on a client-by-client basis and may incur additional

How OlCatch Works

Simple, Versatile Operation

OlCatch’s consistent interface design works seamlessly across different fisheries and fishing methods. One installation handles multiple operational types, making it easy for skippers to record data regardless of the fishery they’re working in.

Smart Data Management

Data collected onboard is securely stored in the vessel’s local eLog database. When connectivity is available, information can be transmitted to the shore-based fleet database for comprehensive fleet management, analysis, and research.

OlCatch captures detailed sampling and size structure data as an integrated part of its catch recording system. The platform enables highly accurate, granular data collection including:

Species identification and product classification
Grade and quality assessments
Conversion factors from processed to green weight
Container type and capacity specifications
Packing materials and gross weight contributors (ice, water, etc.)
Fish quality metrics
Weight and quality variations over time
Destination and buyer information
Real-time quota tracking
