Ice suppliers and cold stores near landing sites
Ice and cold stores near each landing site.
What it does
Every quarter: ice suppliers and cold storage facilities within 20 km of each landing site in your table, the best-rated first, so every catch stays cold.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, take your table, find ice suppliers and cold storage facilities nearby, remove duplicates, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Fish without ice loses value in hours. Every landing site knows where to get ice and cold storage.
Who it is for
Fishing & aquaculture. Fishing cooperatives, fish farms, seafood traders and fisheries authorities watching the sea and the weather and selling the catch fresh. Every use case for fishing & aquaculture
Best use cases

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 1 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
