1. Five unique information opportunities for your personal benefit: e-Cert and other software tools for quality management, traceability and online documentation.

BioFach, the world’s leading organic trade fair, is unique for its vigour, internationality and innovative approach. For many it is the most important venue in the calendar for building new relationships and strengthening existing networks.
At BioFach we have experts ready to assist you in learning about e-Cert and the other soft-ware programs offered by Intact (FlowWebTM, NutriWebTM, TraceNetTM and Control-Net.EurepGAPTM). You can select from the following options:

a) e-Cert user summit (for e-Cert users and invited guests only) – on Wednesday, February 14th , 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. room Kraukau, in the Congress Centre East (CCN Ost).
This meeting will give e-Cert users, and companies currently evaluating e-Cert, the valu-able opportunity to share experiences and learn from each other. Many e-Cert users have streamlined their organisation by developing specific tools or procedures in e-Cert and they will be able to explain how this has made a difference to their business. The following topics will be presented by key users from different clients:
- Control of volumes of products through the chain of custody
- On site inspection with e-Cert offline and efficient invoicing
- Transaction certificates
- Customer relationship management (CRM)
- Working with the Organic System Plan (National Organic Program for USDA (NOP)
- Management of data collection from several CBs through web services
