DQFS starts 2017 with a new name

DQFS, founded by Jan Droogendijk in 2001, starts 2017 with the new identity Goodacre. "Over recent years, our business has developed considerably, not only in terms of size but also with respect to technological advancement and services, with an emphasis on research. Goodacre - Postharvest Intelligence - represents the scope of four disciplines that include; quality control, cargo surveys, training and research."

"In 2012 we were the first to implement QC One, which has now become a vital system to our organization. We plan our inspections, report to our worldwide network of clients within moments after the completion of inspections, benchmark QC evaluations of our staff and target quality issues more effectively."

The interpretation of big data and client requests for problem solving and loss prevention led the company to the development of new tools and instruments. Up and coming markets, resulting in longer transit times, new varieties or packaging, re-evaluation of shelf life, customer experiences or outside influences, triggered an interest to better understand the effects it has on fresh produce.

Why Goodacre?
These days Stefan travels across the globe to carry out cargo surveys, visit clients, and evaluate packing operations. Once the plane starts to decend and you gain a better view of the ground below, it is a humbling experience to see acres of agricultural land, where farmers dedicate all their time and efforts in harmony with nature to provide consumers with the best possible product.

With an increasing demand, more stringent produce quality specifications and changing business dynamics, it is Goodacre’s aim to continue the development of new, solution-oriented services and tools.
