Automated control of your production cost.
Horizon's finance tools combine production data and accounting into accurate production cost — historic and forecast — and a clearer view of profitability. Less time spent gathering numbers, more time spent using them.
Full control, in real time.
Financial control in aquaculture is complex: the biology changes constantly and moves the cost picture with it. Horizon's finance suite is built to give you continuous, precise control of the economy from smolt to harvest — no more waiting for the quarterly report to know your true production cost.
No more spreadsheets full of broken links and errors that appear the moment production drifts from budget. The system links accounting figures and production data, calculating production cost and profitability across both history and forecast — and it updates the cost picture continuously as fresh events come in.
Let the system answer your "what if" questions financially: if growth comes in 5% below plan next month, how does that move cost per kilo at harvest? You get the answer up front, so you can act early — with high precision in your cost base, now and ahead.
End-to-end finance system
Covers every stage from smolt to grow-out to harvest. Allocate cost by site, generation or pen, and see cost drivers in detail.
ERP integration
Connects to your existing ERP or accounting system. Costs — feed, labour, treatment — are pulled in automatically and tied to production data. Everything synced and traceable.
Cost allocation
Distribute costs from department down to project, or spread cost centres across the fish, with allocation keys based on biology, economy or fixed rules. Full flexibility and full traceability.
Reporting
Standard or tailored reports — results, production cost, variance and more. Drill from company to the lowest level, or from a reporting line to the single transaction.
Budgeting & forecasting
Build the budget from the production plan and let forecasts update as production changes. Horizon Budget simulates different financial outcomes by biological development, making the budget a living tool.
Tax & levy modelling
As new taxes and levies come into force for aquaculture, you need a clear view of the base. Horizon handles running calculation, invoicing and reporting, so you meet the requirements without extra headache.
What's inside Finance & Costing.

Horizon Budget
Build the budget from the production plan and compare scenarios — status, budget, forecasts and investment options — letting forecasts update as the biology changes.
- Plan-linked rolling budgets
- Compare status, budget & forecast
- Simulate outcomes by biology
Horizon Report Studio
Presents historical data, budget and rolling forecasts. For each period report you get an updated forecast of costs and production cost per kg to the end of the cycle.
- Per-period cost forecasts
