Growth creates opportunities, but it also puts extra pressure on processes and systems. De Waal Vers from Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht knows that better than most. Over the past few years, the fresh food wholesaler has continued to expand, increasing the need for a stable IT environment as well. For its complete IT management and cybersecurity, the family-owned company now works together with DNA Services.
De Waal Vers has been a well-known name within the fresh food sector for years. The family business supplies a broad assortment to fresh food specialists. From cold cuts and fresh meat to salads, pâtés, and deli products.
At the same time, the company kept investing in expansion. In 2019, it acquired the Gelderblom franchise formula. That network now includes 25 stores. De Waal Vers also acquired De With Vleeswaren. A new artisanal sausage production facility was then set up at a new location in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht.
That growth also brought new IT requirements. De Waal Vers therefore started looking for a partner with experience in production and trading companies within the food industry. In the end, the company selected DNA Services.
DNA Services supports De Waal Vers with automated patch management, monitoring, and various security solutions, among other things. Scalability and continuity also play an important role in the partnership.
According to Hans van Zanten, Financial Director at De Waal Vers, the broad expertise was the deciding factor. “A solid IT foundation is crucial for our business and De Waal Vers has strong growth ambitions.”
The partnership quickly became visible at the new sausage production location as well. The complete IT environment was set up there. “I am pleased that DNA Services has become our new IT partner and I am positive about the collaboration!”
DNA Services was founded in 1994 from the IT department of a manufacturing company. Today, the company supports customers with network and server management, workplace management, and cloud migration.
Cybersecurity in particular is receiving more and more attention, according to Hans de Wit, Commercial Director and Co-Owner of DNA Services. “We are grateful for the trust of De Waal Vers, a solid family business with an established name in the food industry!”
Team DNA Services B.V. will be exhibiting at the Food Tech Event at the OSV pavilion (OSV netwerk). Meet DNA Services on Wednesday, May 20 and Thursday, May 21 at stand 123 and view their references in IT management, cybersecurity, and ERP software within the food industry.
