Data based decision-making

Rising, global demand for poultry and eggs is driving growth in the poultry sector worldwide - and dramatic increases in the size and complexity of commercial hatcheries. To maintain the very high levels of efficiency, cost-effectiveness and accountability being demanded of them, these large-scale facilities require connected, fully integrated processes. In this context, access to highly skilled, multi-disciplinary service and support is critical to hatchery customers, for an assurance of efficient, uninterrupted performance at every level of their operations.

ESF award

Pas Reform has been awarded a subsidy through the European Social Fund (ESF), a European programme focused on investing in Europe’s human capital. The subsidy will support Pas Reform’s ambitions to strengthen the skills of its service and support teams and processes, with specialized tools and programmes that will help to prepare employees for the smart industry era. The central focus of the project is ‘data based decision-making’ - and both organizationally and for our employees, it will help to create a strongly future-facing workforce, with the skills in big data and the ‘Internet of Things’ to deliver the exemplary services for customers around the world.
