Mowi Consumer Products UK, which operates the UK’s largest fish processing site from Rosyth, has overhauled its processes in a major digitisation drive.
The company employs nearly 1,000 people and operates 363 days a year, producing Mowi-brand salmon and supplying UK retailers with own-label products.
Through a company-wide initiative to become near-paperless, Mowi has cut its paper-based records by 90% using the mobile-first workplace operations platform SafetyCulture.
Digitisation has enabled the company to more than double its product and quality audits, to over 7,000 per month compared to 3,000. Mowi estimates that a new check is created every five minutes.
Having digital records in the SafetyCulture platform has also improved traceability, meaning information can be retrieved for customers and auditors within minutes rather than hours or days.
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 improvement.
Mowi Consumer Products UK’s Senior Quality Manager David Bett said: “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.”
Mowi’s Anna Giusti was pivotal in introducing the technology as a production operator, working with SafetyCulture’s team to develop new functionality.
Anna added: “In Rosyth, the company is full of passionate people who invest their time and careers in improving processes, and we’re reaping the benefits of that. The digitisation programme has also enabled me to progress in my career to become a Business Data Analyst.”
Global technology company SafetyCulture is used by more than 25,000 UK businesses and it powers over a billion checks worldwide each year.
