Challenge
“Participating in various quality programs such as Global Gap, Global Grasp, VVAK, and specific protocols of Albert Heijn certainly means a lot of administration. ‘’An inspector visits me two or three times a year.’’
Before Simvia
Many quality programs ask for the same thing over and over again, such as farm type, crops, and location of fields’’. Also, the collection of evidence documents can be a lot of work.‘’That is why I opted for a subscription to Simvia a few years ago. It digitizes the flow of information needed for certification’’.
Solution
The way Simvia asks for information is very clear. When you go through the list in Simvia and add evidence documents you have answered most questions for many programs. In addition, many quality programs ask for the same thing over and over again, such as farm type, crops, and location of fields. There are usually only a few specific points left per program, and you only have to enter the data once and can reuse it across years.
Result
With Simvia I can save time up to 15 hours per year in administration and have the important advantage of maintaining an overview of the various documents and an easy overview of my data.

PPWR Readiness: Phase 4 Monitor 2035-2038
Phase 4 is a monitoring phase, not an action phase, but that doesn't mean it can wait. A ten-year runway sounds generous until you consider that material substitution and infrastructure development happen on a similarly long timescale.
