Our system

Our seafood producer clients are supported by Salesforce; a customised cloud-based sales and customer relationship management platform to streamline communication and account data transfer. By using a cloud based system, we can access vital information rapidly and from any location. This innovative tool facilitates sales and product management, pricing, inventory, email and SMS communication, reporting, collateral storage, online solutions and conversation capabilities.

Each producer client is given a Salesforce portal to access their real time sales, marketing and reporting updates. This is a core component to what Blue Harvest does, because it allows for transparent and seamless communication despite varied industry schedules.
