REGULARY COMPLIANCE VS. FOCUSING ON CORE BUSINESS
The Danish wine importer and wine bar, D’Wine, renowned for its exclusive, high-end quality wines, naturally wants to comply with existing legislation, but don’t want to tie up time and resources in too many administrative tasks. So, the relatively new EU legislation on the handling of packaging and waste packaging, in Danish “Udvidet Producent Ansvar (UPA)”, has constituted somewhat of a challenge.
GEARSHIFT PPWR COMPLEMENTS EXISTING IT LANDSCAPE
The PPWR platform targets to co-exist with existing ERP- and Finance systems and specifically focuses on being a tool for handling the regulatory requirements associated with UPA. It emphasizes our philosophy of making standard software available and accessible to all. And with our stepwise approach to implementation, the timeframe for an end-to-end project is weeks (not months):
“D’Wine has been an excellent partner throughout this process. They had a clear mission of limiting as much administrative work as possible, wanted to take full advantage of a standard solution, and at the same time they have been fully aware of the responsibility that UPA has imposed upon them”
Jan Jakob Jessen, CIO, Partner and Founder of GearShift
COMPLETE NOT COMPLICATED
This headline is GearShift PPWR in a nutshell. In Denmark, the solution is configured upon the Danish proclamation ensuring all companies the ability to be fully compliant with legal requirements. Provisioned as a SaaS solution, customers will always have access to latest features and functionalities, and the platform will adopt to changes in legislation.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE IS NOT A COMPETIVE PARAMETER
The implementation and commissioning of GearShift PPWR have enabled D’Wine to focus on their core business – providing excellent wine experiences to their fantastic customers:
“We took the new legislation very seriously and at first, we actually developed our own reporting tool. However, the ongoing maintenance and administrative work associated with this quickly showed to be too comprehensive. So, for us GearShift PPWR has been the right solution. We have full trust in the quality of our reporting, and the structured way to implementation has covered all our needs. But most importantly, the process has been simple, pragmatic, and solution oriented, removing as much administrative work from us as possible”
Kristian Ishøy, Owner and managing director at D’Wine
