Emydex 20 years – Canfisco

Canadian Fishing Company (Canfisco)

Seafood Processor, 4 plants, British Columbia, Canada

Emydex customer from 2017 – 2024 (7 years)

“We first started working with Emydex when we needed to retire a legacy system used to capture data on the plant floor. The processes were unique, and our new ERP system could not handle the complexity and the need to capture data in a fast-paced real time environment.

The Emydex Team has always had a solid understanding of our business processes, and the seafood industry. We’ve always felt like we “speak the same language”. We continue to work with them to automate data collection, and this is helping us streamline our business. They continue to deliver solutions faster and at a lower cost than typical ERP providers.

We are very pleased to congratulate Emydex for reaching the 20-year milestone and look forward to partnering with them for many more years to come.”
