The captain's catch intelligence layer. Log each haul as a tile — species, weight, ground, crew, weather — and PLATO weaves it into fishing knowledge you can query from the bridge, the dock, or the market.
Built for commercial operations — not adapted from a consumer app. Every feature serves the way a real crew fishes.
Log every species, weight, and count at haul time — not hours later at the processor. Timestamps are locked to the moment of landing. You can query any catch window by date, ground, or crew assignment and get an auditable record that's cleaner than a paper log.
Species · Weight · Count · TimeEvery catch is pinned to a fishing ground — not just a GPS coordinate. Define your grounds once (Hecate Strait North, Lime Ridge, the Fingers) and PLATO builds a layered picture over seasons. Know which grounds are heating up before you steam there. Know which ones gave up three years ago.
Grounds · Hot Zones · Historical DriftIFQ species, area closures, and seasonal limits — the system tracks your utilization against every active quota in real time. When you're at 80% of a species limit in a given area, you know before the next haul comes aboard. Quota Guard doesn't stop you — it shows you the water before you're in it.
IFQ · Area Limits · Season CapsTie barometric pressure, sea state, wind direction, and water temperature to each haul. Over time PLATO surfaces patterns: halibut come up on a falling barometer in the Fingers, or lingcod stack on the south side when the north wind pushes cold water in. Your memory, made queryable.
Barometer · Sea State · Wind · SSTNo dashboards to configure. No spreadsheets to reconcile. File the tile — PLATO handles the accumulation.
After each haul, submit a catch tile: species, weight, ground name, depth band, crew member, and current weather snapshot. Takes under 30 seconds from the rail.

Each tile goes into the PLATO room as a delta — a structured record with your boat's presence tag. Over hauls and seasons, PLATO builds a cross-referenced knowledge mesh across the fleet's catch history.
plato.push(tile) → delta queued
Ask natural questions from any device: "What's my limit utilization for yelloweye in 3B after last week's hauls?" PLATO resolves the query against your accumulated tiles and returns a structured answer — not a spreadsheet to interpret.
plato.query("limit utilization yelloweye 3B")
Traditional logging is a filing cabinet. PLATO is a crew that never forgets and knows how to connect the dots.
Every catch tile is a delta — a precise, self-contained record of one haul's contribution to the broader picture. PLATO doesn't sync full state. It applies your delta, reconciles it against the fleet's shared presence, and updates your local view within seconds.
This means the system works even when you're 50 miles offshore with intermittent connectivity. Your tile is filed and your quota numbers are correct. When the connection comes back, PLATO reconciles silently in the background.
PLATO rooms maintain a presence vector for each connected participant. Your boat's presence isn't just "online" — it carries a live snapshot of your current catch state: today's hauls, running totals, quota utilization. Any authorized crew member with access can read it from any device.
Because presence carries real state — not just status — every display in your fleet shows the same truth. No more "what did we actually land on Tuesday?"
