“ The collaboration is starting to take shape and is being picked up incredibly well in South America . Many growers see the intensity of our collaboration and are concerned in working together with both parties . ” This says Mark Weitjens of AgroCheck , a company that bid an all-encompassing and worldwide database of debtor entropy for the ornamental refinement diligence to exporter , growers , and cargo agency . Because scamming and fallacious behavior also occurs in the South American flower industry , a search forcollaborationbegan and was concluded when FreshPortal , which cater the same character of clients with ERP troupe software , was found . The collaborationism will be brought to the attention of the great unwashed overseas in the next dyad of months .

The collaboration mean that both systems will be link up . FreshPortal users will soon get the possibility to tote up an AgroCheck mental faculty so that people can see immediately whether a customer is trusty or not , or if they are already in the so - called ‘ Warning list ’ on AgroCheck . This can prevent a lot of job a lot quicker .
“ In the last two age we have been acquire a circle more new clients from Colombia and Ecuador ” , Mark continues . “ Which is something our Dutch members also benefit from , because all of our members now receive selective information from the four country that are most significant when it come to the export of bloom ( Netherlands , Colombia , Ecuador , Kenya ) . In the cosmetic finish industry , there is no one else that can offer this . ”
Like wildfireDuring Proflora , earlier this calendar month , Mark and his squad did not get the prospect to be bored . “ On the first Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , I talked to one of our Colombian clients , and he told me he sent a sampling / test to a new node in Italy . peculiar as I was , I require who he sent it to . As it turn out , the Italian debtor was already in our system of rules on the Warning inclination because he had caused capital damages to at least four Dutch exporters within the first month of the year . I severalize the node to stop delivering to the Italian now , and he give thanks me for warning him . He go on to give me the name of another grower who also want to deliver to the man in Italy . I then warned that grower as well , and through him , I got to his payload agency . In such scams , they often recede large quantity , since they arrange tune transport for many raiser . The shipment agency instantly became a fellow member of AgroCheck , because they understand that I just saved them thousands of one dollar bill in damages . ”
“ At the last of the week , I managed to prevent five raiser from being scammed by these Italian defaulters , who were figure out on a great - scale scam for the 1st of November ( All Saints ' Day , a large vacation in Italy ) . One grower would point the next agriculturist in our direction , and this style , they all came to us . Almost everybody faces something like this once in their career , and with our collection services and/or our debtor information , we can really be of avail when it does occur . ”
AgroCheck will be at the IFTF in stand issue A1.30 .
