I implement and optimise Agriware (NAV/BC-based ERP-software) at various horticultural companies, both in the Netherlands and abroad. In this line of work I am the connecting element between developers, project managers and our clients. I focus on the bigger picture; constantly reminding our clients that an ERP-system is a tool to support production; a data hub between people. What I find most interesting about this job is getting acquainted with new people and production systems. And figuring out how I can support that process using software like NAV or PowerBI.

During my time at Fruitconsult I got acquainted with detailed field research, especially concerning crop protection in fruit cultivation. I carried out multiple field trials to test crop treatment efficacy and side-effects. I also contributed to one of the most extensive post-harvest crop treatment monitoring systems in fruit cultivation.I applied my knowledge of geo-information to a field trial registration system and chaired the Technical Development working group at our test facility.

The major subjects of my internship implied crop protection and ecology in Dutch fruit production systems, e.g.- researching the effects of crop protection agents on beneficial insects and mites- monitoring & analysis of pests and diseases in fruit orchards- exploring possibilities to use geo-informatics and ICT to improve efficiency, effectivity and monitoring in Dutch fruit systems- monitoring & evalation of a natural vs. mechanic pollination experiment
