Fish With A Story, developed by ABALOBI, is a specialized food manufacturing and traceability platform that transforms the seafood supply chain from catch to consumer while promoting ecological sustainability and social equity. The software digitizes the traditionally opaque seafood process, enabling small-scale fishers, processors, and retailers to manage every step with transparency and accountability. Its integrated suite of mobile apps—including Fisher, Monitor, and Marketplace—captures catch data at the first mile, monitors cold chain conditions, oversees processing milestones, and facilitates final sales, while ensuring compliance with Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability standards and local ecological indicators. The platform’s participatory design accommodates low-literacy users, with large, multilingual icons for fishers and processors, and a consumer-facing QR dashboard that visually maps the fish’s journey from vessel to plate. Administrators benefit from a clean web console with drag-and-drop reporting for auditing and compliance. Fish With A Story’s offline-first architecture ensures reliable operation in remote coastal regions, syncing data to the cloud once connectivity is restored, and handles high-concurrency uploads during peak landing periods.
