Success Stories - Sco-Fro SeafoodSco-Fro Seafood are part of the Sco-Fro Group of companies, supplying seafood and grocery products around the world. The Galloway Seafoods factory in Newton Stewart specialises in producing breaded scampi and other breaded products, mainly for the UK market. Seafood products include wholetail breaded scampi, deluxe fishcakes, fish bites, fish fillets and goujons. The range of products has also recently been extended to included breaded chicken.
The factory is a key supplier to major retailer and food service customers throughout the UK. The Sea Spray and Galloway Seafoods brands are well known throughout the market. Own label business for retail and food service is also significant for Sco-Fro.
A major £4m expansion project was completed in summer 2010, substantially increasing both the production capacity and product range. The factory is BRC Grade A accreditated and Investor in People accredited.
“We couldn't consider the expansion and the investment in a new Cold Store without a system to manage the stock. In our business it’s all about quality and traceability and Dexterity WMS gives us the ability to meet both of these goals." says Michael Murphy, Production Director at Sco-Fro Seafoods.
The new 1000 pallet cold store at Newton Stewart expands the range of Seafood products to include wholetail breaded scampi, deluxe fishcakes, fish bites, fish fillets and goujons. Dexterity WMS manages the tracking, location and quality of all of these products,
After being received and recorded, each batch is identified by barcode and booked into the cold store, tracked through production to finished goods and finally to despatch to the customer. Numerous checks are recorded at each stage to ensure the correct batches are being used and temperature targets are met to provide a complete traceability and quality record.
Why Dexterity WMS?Sco-Fro had some very exacting requirements for its new cold store warehouse and Barcode-IT were able to offer the flexibility to enhance it's standard Warehouse Management System to include the additional data required by Sco-Fro to meet the standards of food quality and traceability demanded by seafoods of this type.
“Barcode-IT took the time to understand our requirements and were accommodating and flexible as we went through scoping the project. They were able to deliver a solution to our specification and to very demanding timescales. The whole solution from inception to installation took just 12 weeks” says Michael Murphy, Production Director at Sco-Fro Seafoods.
How it startedSco-Fro contacted Barcode-IT following a Google lookup for flexible warehouse management systems and following an initial discussion Barcode-IT were invited to visit and examine the new cold store, view the production and warehouse procedures and propose a system to deal with the exacting requirements of frozen food batch production.
