Our Solution: FIT – The Digital Platform for Fisheries Control
Scopeland Technology developed the Fisheries Information System (FIT), an integrated low-code solution that digitizes and interconnects all specialized processes involved in fisheries enforcement.
FIT is the BLE’s central control and information system: It manages fishing vessels, permits, quotas, catch data, and geographic information in a unified digital environment. The platform combines high technical expertise, data intelligence, and user-friendliness—thus enabling a fully digitized overview of fisheries management.
More than 58 specialized modules and approximately 2 million lines of code, 25% of which involve geodata, were generated automatically at a rate of over 99% using SCOPELAND low-code technology.
This exceptional level of automation significantly shortened development times and ensures maximum flexibility for future requirements.
A particular highlight is the embedded GIS approach: geodata is fully integrated into business processes. Maps, fishing areas, and maritime boundaries can be analyzed and directly incorporated into technical decisions—a first in European government IT.
