SmartCatch

SmartCatch is a digital monitoring device that enables fishermen to maximize their catch. Put simply, it is about connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

It makes the most sense for manufacturers and operators. They also list Consumer Electronics, Electronics, Impact Investing, Internet of Things and Sustainability, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

SmartCatch is based in Palo Alto, California and around since 2012. Their site is smart-catch.com.

Before you commit, look at hardware compatibility, uptime, and support. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with SmartCatch, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
