Tallybook

Catch, revenue and crew-pay tracking for small inshore fishermen in the UK and Ireland.

Overview

Tallybook helps inshore fishermen log all of their catch, not just the official logs, track revenue and see the net profit of each trip. It also works out crew payments, so skippers can see what each trip really earned.

Why I built it

Small inshore boats often run on paper notes and memory. Official logbooks only capture part of the picture, so skippers struggle to know which trips, grounds and species actually make money once fuel, bait and crew shares are taken out.

What it does

Log every catch

Record everything landed on a trip, by species and weight, beyond what the official logs require.

Trip profitability

Set sales against costs like fuel and bait to see the net result of each trip.

Crew payments

Works out each crew member's share automatically, so pay-outs are quick and fair.

Private accounts

Each skipper signs in to their own account, keeping their figures to themselves.
