Wharfside Receiving App

INTRODUCING THE

Wharfside is a simple app for recording lobster purchases right where they happen.
No clipboards. No transcribing. No chasing paperwork later.

Record lobster purchases at the wharf. No paper. No re-entering information.

Smartphone screen displaying a livestock management app with options to start a new receiving entry and a list of recent receiving lots with names, weights, and dates.

Every purchase written on paper at the wharf has to be entered again later.
Wharfside removes that step.

Built for the Wharf

We know you don’t love technology.
That’s exactly why we built this.
Most software is designed by people who’ve never stood on a wet dock at 6am in November. Wharfside was built for that exact situation.

Minimal steps. Big buttons. Nothing to figure out.

Questions We Actually Get Asked

  • No. If you can send a text, you can use Wharfside. Simple screens, nothing hidden.

  • It works offline. Entries save on your phone and sync when you’ve got connection again.

  • It’s built to align with DFO’s eSlip requirements. What you enter here feeds your reporting — no separate form to fill out later.

  • Any modern iPhone or Android. No special hardware needed.

  • Yes. That’s the point. What you enter at the wharf shows up in your system immediately. No calls, no re-entry.
