Harvest records, processor lots, cold chain, and the storefront, joined before the product spoils

Because each system keys on something different: the storefront knows the order, the 3PL knows the pallet, the traceability system knows the lot, and a customs entry knows the import shipment. Shopify does not carry a lot at the order line, so the binding is minted at pack-out in Fishbowl or in your cold-storage 3PL's system. Synopsis lands them in one warehouse and carries that pack-out lot forward onto the order, so order-to-harvest and lot-to-order questions become one query. Synopsis brings the records together for analysis; it doesn't replace your systems of record.

Yes, with one distinction worth stating. SIMP applies to imports in the thirteen species groups NOAA lists, shrimp, tuna and swordfish among them, and salmon is not one of them, so a domestic Alaska lot carries no SIMP obligation while an imported shrimp lot does. Synopsis joins harvest and processor records, traceability lot codes, and shipped orders at the lot level, and for imported lots it joins the customs entry and catch document to that same lot. FSMA 204's compliance date is July 20, 2028, so the useful work today is finding lots already missing key data elements. Your QA lead still reviews and files; Synopsis assembles the evidence behind each lot.

A file works. Most cold-storage 3PLs send a daily or weekly inventory and pack-out export by email or SFTP, and that is enough to key lots to orders. Where a 3PL sends nothing, the lot gets minted at pack-out in Fishbowl or your own system instead, and the join still holds.

Yes. Shopify orders and ShipStation shipments land in one warehouse keyed to the same lot and order, so a cold-chain excursion resolves to the exact customers affected in one query. The same holds for BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Tive, Trace Register, NetSuite, and the rest of a DTC seafood brand's systems.

Usually, yes. The AI builds the connector from an export or an API, and a new system is typically flowing in days. If it can produce a file, it is a candidate.

Your first connected systems are answering questions in about 48 hours, and a full rollout lands in days, not a multi-quarter data project.

No. We configure your warehouse with you and connect the systems you already run; your team just asks questions in plain English. Nobody has to write SQL or babysit pipelines unless they want to.

No. Your systems of record — ERP, CRM, accounting, and the rest — stay exactly where they are. Synopsis sits on top and joins them into one place you can query, so you report across everything instead of exporting from each tool.

Your data stays in your own warehouse — we don't keep a copy. Access is governed per user and every query is audit-logged. Synopsis is SOC 2 Type II, and you can review our live security posture in the Trust Center.

BI tools chart data that something else already had to clean and join. Synopsis does that upstream work — connecting your systems, resolving entities, and enforcing your metric definitions — then answers in plain English, builds the dashboards, and traces every number back to its source.
