About Traseable

A Pacific-owned, AI-enabled technology company with deep roots in agriculture, fisheries, and developing country contexts — putting practical digital tools in the hands of those who need them most.

Our Story

Built in Fiji, for the Pacific

Traseable Solutions was established in 2017 by husband-and-wife team Ken and Shauna Katafono. We were born from a simple mission: to ensure Pacific industries have the digital tools they need to thrive.

We started in the fisheries sector, using our background in ICT and fisheries to build digital seafood traceability systems. We soon realised that farmers, local businesses, and governments across all primary industries faced the same hurdle: a lack of good data to make informed decisions. We took what we learned on the water and applied it to the land, helping organisations streamline their work and see the full picture of their operations.

We understand that "one-size-fits-all" technology doesn't work here. Whether it's a community in the maritime islands, a remote farm, or a busy fishing port, our systems are designed for the realities of our region — reliable, offline-capable, and easy to use.

Our Approach

More Than Just Software

Our approach is simple: we listen first. We don't just build systems; we provide expert advisory services to ensure every project is sustainable and fair. From managing complex fisheries information to analysing value chains and ensuring gender equity and social inclusion (GESI), we co-design solutions that solve real-world problems. Today, we are proud to help governments and businesses across the region turn their challenges into opportunities.

Vision & Mission

Vision

To build the digital systems that enable resilient, well-managed, and thriving communities across the Pacific and beyond.

Mission

We design and deliver practical digital platforms that help governments, organisations, and communities manage resources, respond to risks, and make better decisions—built for the realities of the environments they serve.

Our Guiding Principles

People First (Human-Centred Design)

We co-design with the people who will actually use our systems. By engaging stakeholders—whether in person or remotely—we build solutions that fit the daily realities of Pacific communities and businesses.

Trust & Transparency

Trust is built through honest communication and accountable data practices. We ensure integrity at every step of the journey—from the farming village to the government dashboard.

Sustainability & Local Ownership

For solutions to last, they must be owned locally. We don't just hand over technology; we build skills and capacity alongside every project, ensuring our partners have full control over their own data and tools.

Built for Reality

We design for low connectivity, limited resources, and real-world constraints—ensuring our systems work where they are needed most.

Our Commitment

Our Commitment to Data Ethics

Trust is the foundation of every digital journey. We believe that data is a powerful asset that belongs to the people and communities who create it. At Traseable Solutions, we don't just protect information; we respect the people behind it.

We are committed to data sovereignty, ensuring our partners always maintain ownership and control over their own stories and statistics. By building privacy into the heart of our technology and using AI responsibly, we ensure that innovation never comes at the cost of integrity.

We stand for transparency and ethical practice, ensuring that the data we manage today helps build a more secure and prosperous Pacific for tomorrow.
