"We are no longer a newcomer by now"

In five years , Dutch ship’s company ProCC has grow from a team of 2 to 14 hoi polloi , from working in a 90 substantial beat office to 700 square metre and from working in the Netherlands to working in 12 countries with more than 100 affiliated growers . " We are no longer a newbie by now , " suppose Sadik Usluer . Together with Jeffrey van Uunen , he is the founder of the company speciate in labor and craw registration software , which is introducing a completely revamped version to all its client this leaping .

2023 is an day of remembrance year for ProCC , although work on build the software start up back in 2016 . Sadik , who also extend an agricultural catching company , wanted to use software but found nothing to his liking . So he decided to ramp up it himself .

Two years after , the step to the market was taken , making the Vlaardingen - establish company ’s software solutions usable to cultivator at home and abroad . " Our goal was and is to provide a innovative , feasible and low-priced organization for everyone . With now more than 100 customer in 12 land , I imagine we have succeeded quite well . And do you know what the funny thing is ? Our organisation run both at agriculturist with one - hectare greenhouse and large nursery farms of up to ninety hectares . "

readjustment per unitIn the beginning , it was mainly many greenhouse vegetable cultivator who started work with ProCC ’s software system . Gradually , ornamental growers , and particularly kitty flora growers , also start using the computer software . What is important at ProCC is that the software package can be lend oneself flexibly . " Our catchword is : ' Impossible does n’t live . It will just take time . ' Our software package is made to allow customization . We have a basic package , but many client have additional requirements that we fulfill . We are able to customize our program so that the grower in question can work with it optimally . "

A special solution was therefore devised for pot industrial plant , for example . Whereas ProCC once started with task and cultivation registration to look the price per square meter , nowadays , a unit - based calculation is also potential . " The grower can calculate from cutting to sale how much labor movement is in the pot , so to talk . This has made us grow fast in batch plants too . "

The same apply to cannabis . " We are produce powerfully in the North American market in ganja . One of the bigger raiser works with us . rail - and - hint is significant in this craw . We are prepare a solution for this . Even waste has to be registered by growers in cannabis cultivation . We are now in talks with several cannabis growers . "

Software completely revampedProCC figure out with apps and smartphones when registering . Even though the company completely revamped its software last twelvemonth , it continue to do so . " In horticulture , you have to be able to see everything quickly . you may do that by working with apps and smartphones . " This leaping , all live customer will transition . Data will be transferred . After the switchover , data retrieval will be even quicker , Sadik insure us . " And that while it ’s already a matter of irregular . "

ProCC ’s organization is now worthy for both smartphones running Android and IOS from Apple . " At first , we center mainly on Android because the range of cheaper smartphones here is dandy . However , there are also users with Apple . Our system is now also pitch to this . "

Direct contact with software builderNew developments , separate from an overall upgrade , are also in place . ProCC spring up a monitoring app that allows ship’s company managers to monitor the work in the greenhouse all digitally and in actual - time . There is also a scouting module , which allows greenhouse employees to report the discovery of something suspicious , such as a potential virus or pest , for exemplar .

ProCC stands for customization for agriculturalist . of import in the ship’s company ’s philosophy here is work with short lines of communication . " No , we purposefully do not work with a backup team , " Sadik taper out when asked . " On the opposite , we focus on the fact that anyone calling right away draw the correct person on the phone . This could very well be the coder . We now have coder in three countries . It is precisely the lineal , short lines of communication with our computer programmer that make us strong . We see that customers value it too . "

Customer experiencesTwo such customers are cosmetic agriculturist Royal Roses and strawberry and cucumber grower VieVerde . The latter company , account for 6.5 hectares of deoxyephedrine , is preparing for a new time of year in mid - January . The strawberry mark are still ' cold ' for a while , and the cucumbers have just been planted . " We get clock time adjustment with ProCC , " owner Ed Classens wait back some four twelvemonth ago . " Our desire was to get more data from the glasshouse , also to be able to verify if the oeuvre is done in good order . antecedently , we also recorded British Labour Party , but only time and not specifically the surgical operation . "

The raiser got to know ProCC soon after the ship’s company ’s food market launch and did not pause to put his compliments on the mesa . " We do quite a few trials with raw varieties , and so we also wanted to be able to keep track of kg . Jeffrey has modernise a piece of software system for us that allows us to do that . As a result , we can now also see who is picking which kilogram . We work with a fillip payoff for the employee . "

With two crops on one farm , the agriculturist wanted one app , one overall organisation , without making it complicated . " On the contrary , it has to stay simple , " he say . ProCC provides just that . " We can now easily select whether it is strawberries or cucumbers when we register things . " There are consistent differences between the two crop that the software takes into account . " For lesson , we pack strawberries direct in the glasshouse , cultivate with various eccentric of barrels . "

At Royal Roses , ProCC ’s software is used to register rosiness . The package is connect to the rosaceous order car . " Now we can see exactly how many rose are in a container and to which path and employee the container can be hunt , " Mickey Hogervorst say us earlier .

In cut hydrangeas , also a crop at the company , the software package is used for recording labor hours . The bunching of shortened flowers is done by hand . " We keep cart track of how many hour go into each operation for each variety . This gives insight into the numbers make out per change . "

ERP packageThey do not harp extensively on the anniversary at ProCC . They are already bet ahead . " Besides continuing to serve horticultural customers optimally and develop here , we are also working on the development of a thoroughgoing ERP software system . We see that great agriculturalist are also working with packing stations . This involves stock direction and planning , among other things .
