A fish processing unit capturing accurate yield data
Aquascot is an employee-owned business dedicated to supplying fish to Waitrose, Ocado and companies that supply Waitrose.
The Aquascot story began in 1987. The business was built on high-quality food farmed in the sea.
By 2000 an integrated organization had developed with fresh and saltwater farms, processing plants and an international customer base.
The company was sold to a large multi-national feed and farming business.
In 2003 dedicated individuals regained the Aquascot name and the processing plant in Alness, near Inverness.
In 2008 Aquascot embarked on a journey to become an employee-owned.
What Aquascot Say
"We are unanimous in our view that Emydex is our preferred vendor. We are confident that your software can do most (if not all) of what we need, and crucially, we feel that Emydex the company is a good fit for Aquascot. We are well aware that we are not just purchasing software, we are committing to a long term relationship, and we came out of the meeting convinced that the two companies can work well together. Inevitably, we will discover things about the software that don't quite meet our needs, but you gave us confidence that you'd be willing to accommodate that, and discuss the best way forward for both parties"
