Zest about Normec QC One
Seamless integration between Normec QC One and Zest's ERP system
At Normec QC One, we constantly strive to provide our customers with the best tools and solutions for AGF quality control. Seamless integration with the Zest ERP system plays an important role in this. The link between the two systems increases efficiency and speed, improves data accuracy, and helps ensure quality and compliance. Because there is a standard link between the two systems, the connection is ready to use within one day.
ERP system for the fresh produce sector
The ERP system for the AGF sector from Zest was developed by Alexander Schrijvershof. He literally grew up among fruit and gained years of experience at the family business Schrijvershof, an importer and exporter of fruit and vegetables. Alexander explains: “Implementing an ERP system often takes a lot of time, money, and energy. Our goal was to create a standard solution with a strong focus on importers and exporters in the AGF sector. We implement the Zest ERP system within three months on average. This is possible because we have developed a standard solution that does not require customization.”
Link between Zest ERP and QC One
"We see QC One being used a lot in the AGF sector. This made a link between the two systems an important part of our setup. If you work with the Zest ERP system, the link with QC One can be set up in a single day. Once our customers have their environment in QC One completely set up, we can import everything into our system in one go. After several checks and a few minor additions, we are ready to go. No customization is required. This ensures that data can be sent back and forth easily, resulting in lightning-fast implementation."
About Zest
Five advantages of integrating QC One and Zest
One of the main advantages of integrating Normec QC One and Zest is the ability to synchronize data in real time. This ensures data consistency and allows you to make decisions based on the most up-to-date and reliable information.
The integration provides automated reporting. Once you have completed an inspection in QC One, the results are automatically sent back to the Zest ERP system. For example, when you enter a purchase order in the ERP system, it is automatically linked to a quality inspection in QC One. This eliminates manual work, reduces the risk of errors, and saves you valuable time.
The integration allows you to manage your workflow more efficiently. From creating inspections based on purchase orders to performing interim inspections from stock, the processes are fully integrated. Inspectors can get started right away with the data available in QC One, and once an inspection is complete, the results are automatically processed in the ERP system. This ensures a consistent and error-free workflow.
The link with Zest ensures that you are always up to date and work efficiently. The system helps you plan your sales by including storage advice. For example, if a product has a storage life of two weeks and the batch has not been sold, the system automatically suggests a re-inspection. This allows you to work in a very targeted manner.
Quality and compliance with regulations are of paramount importance in the fresh produce sector. The link makes it easier to meet these requirements through automated checks and reports. This not only helps to maintain the quality of your products, but also ensures that your company is always in compliance with the applicable regulations.
Business Central
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an ERP solution from Microsoft and is the successor to Navision and Dynamics NAV. Business Central is easy to implement and suitable for both small and medium-sized businesses. It supports organizations in automating and connecting their business processes.
How does it work in practice?
Alexander explains: "Imagine that your quality controller inspects a batch and enters the quality data into QC One. Thanks to the integration with Zest, this data is immediately synchronized and available in the ERP system, allowing your logistics team to see right away which batches meet the quality standards and which require further inspection.
This reduces waiting times and ensures that your products move through the chain faster and more efficiently. The integration also makes it possible to create inspections directly from a purchase order. Once the inspection has been completed in QC One, the results are available in various places within the ERP system, such as in the inventory and sales environment. This means that your sales staff always have the most up-to-date quality data at their fingertips, enabling them to make better-informed decisions and deliver the right products to the right customers.
Focus on what really matters
The seamless integration between Normec QC One and Zest gives you the tools to optimize your business processes and stand out in a competitive market. Together, we ensure that you always stay one step ahead, with the assurance of a system that supports the highest standards of quality and compliance. The integration reduces manual work, minimizes errors, and gives you more time to focus on what really matters: delivering fresh, high-quality products to your customers.
