Partnership between jem-id and Quality Produce International (QPI) boosts industry-wide issues

Last year, a unique collaboration was initiated between software company jem-id and fresh produce import and exporter Quality Produce International (QPI), addressing industry-wide issues. QPI has been using GreenCommerce since the beginning to digitize their daily processes. This collaboration allows both parties to seize opportunities that otherwise would have remained on the shelf for a long time.

The partnership is the result of a longstanding relationship
Over 25 years ago, QPI began using the first version of GreenCommerce to digitize their daily processes. They were the first company to implement the WMS App, the Warehouse Management System integrated with GreenCommerce, which fully digitizes the order picking process. In the warehouse, over 35 tablets are used on a daily basis.

Due to the close ties built over the years, QPI and jem-id started a unique partnership last year that adds significant value to both parties.

Mutual trust leads to a win-win situation
Through an annual agreement based on a fixed price, upheld with mutual trust, jem-id develops solutions for industry-wide issues brought forth by QPI or recognized by jem-id on the work floor. This ranges from quick wins to major issues that are segmented into various projects. It is crucial that these developments enhance the foundation of GreenCommerce or complement its module packages. This means that the development time can benefit all GreenCommerce users, provided they utilize the relevant extension.

Martijn van Andel, owner of jem-id, explains, "This approach prevents a situation where developments are only tailored to QPI. Through our close collaboration, we gain insights into industry-wide challenges, enabling us to offer technological solutions that are relevant to the majority of our users."

Evaluation after the first year
Maarten Leerdam, Head of Finance at QPI, is enthusiastic about the process and sees opportunities for the future: "Through this way of working together, we can tackle larger projects focused on the long term and continually test them against practical scenarios."

Jeroen Nibbering, Product Owner at GreenCommerce, explains: "By engaging in this collaboration, these types of topics find a place within GreenCommerce. Such developments have a significant impact on existing technology, requiring substantial investment in time. This collaboration makes that possible."

"We are very positive about this form of partnership and are open to establishing similar collaborations with more parties," Martijn concludes.
