In 2024, EyeOn obtained its initial ISO 27001 certification.  

“EyeOn supports businesses in mission-critical processes where sensitive and high-impact data plays a central role. In many cases, this data directly drives revenue and performance. With ISO 27001 certification, we are proud to be among the leaders in our field of supply chain planning & forecasting to achieve this certificate” – Jasper Fase, Chief Financial Officer EyeOn

ISO 27001 certification further strengthens EyeOn’s position within the broader business ecosystem. Increasingly, suppliers across the industry demand ISO 27001 compliance to ensure robust data protection throughout the entire value chain. By meeting this standard, EyeOn not only safeguards data but also facilitates efficient and secure collaboration with clients and partners. 

“Our commitment to security doesn’t stop with a certificate on the wall. Each year, EyeOn organizes a dedicated Security Awareness Week, where the team revisits key ISO 27001 principles and best practices. To maintain our high standards, we’ve also established a specialized internal team focused on continuously upholding and improving our information security framework.” – Jasper Fase, Chief Financial Officer EyeOn

What is ISO 27001? 

ISO 27001 is the leading international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It sets out the requirements for implementing a robust information security framework within an organization and is internationally recognized as the benchmark for best practice all around the world. Having this certification demonstrates our organization’s commitment to continual improvement, development, and protection of information, assets and sensitive data by implementing and maintaining appropriate risk assessments, policies and controls.

EyeOn already has offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Ireland. With the support of the new partner, which also includes data science consultancy Bright Cape B.V., EyeOn will be implementing an ambitious international growth plan over the coming years.

The scope of EyeOn’s plan, which is headquartered in Aarle-Rixtel, includes accelerating growth abroad for her international customers, increasing its innovative power and making the organisation more agile and decisive. The development opportunities of its employees are also always at the forefront. EyeOn had been looking for some time for a partner who could bring both knowledge of product innovations, international growth experience and funding for its plans. Freek Aertsen, managing partner EyeOn: ‘The search for a partner initially took us across the border, until we came into contact with the entrepreneurs behind GGD Investments, who are actually from here, from Brainport Eindhoven. We really didn’t think we would find this fit close by. This cooperation enables us to build on our success while maintaining our independence. A new phase in the history of our company has just begun!

Pieter van den Tilllaart, on behalf of the investors: ‘The match with EyeOn and our companies, including Bright Cape, is a perfect fit. We position ourselves as fellow entrepreneurs, but we are not at the wheel. Our partners can do that much better themselves. We focus on companies that are experiencing strong growth, like EyeOn. When we first met EyeOn, we noticed the sublime client delivery by the various teams and the way in which EyeOn, also internationally, leads the way in the use of data science in planning & forecasting. We think it’s great to be able to make this investment in this great company on behalf of GGD Investments and Baerbergh.’

Freek Aertsen, Loek Lemmens and André Vriens will remain managing partners of EyeOn. EyeOn, GGD Investments and Baerbergh aim for a long-term partnership, which will facilitate future growth.

What is a circular supermarket?

“Pieter Pot is Europe’s first online package free supermarket that delivers groceries to consumers’ homes in circular packaging – currently glass mason jars, in the near future custom lightweight Pieter Pot jars. We focus on bringing convenience: minimize effort at affordable prices, while being the most sustainable option.

Our aim is to help save up to 20 million kg of CO2 and 3 million kg of plastic waste on an annual basis. This equals the yearly emissions from 80 million car km and enough plastic to fill 20 Olympic swimming pools every year. We do this by growing from the 4.000 customers we currently serve to more than 100.000 by 2023. Scaling up the operation with this speed is challenging. So we reached out to Eyeon for help.

The challenges

Before we got in touch with EyeOn, we operated in silos which were barely communicating: finance/MT created the long-term budget and forecast, marketing drove the short-term sales and product sourcing and production was scheduling based on historic orders. The result was that our financial projections were always off and our inventory low on stock. This is where EyeOn stepped in.

Forecasting and planning improvements with EyeOn

EyeOn showed us the fundamentals of Sales and Operations Planning and explained the Stadtler model, which really opened our eyes. We immediately starting implementing elements from the Stadtler model which we were missing: 

• A mid-term S&OP forecast
• A short-term demand planning
• A short-term transport planning to share with our distributor PostNL Food
• Mid-term supply planning to share with our product suppliers
• Upgraded Material Requirements Planning with adjusted buffers
• A bi-weekly demand meeting

The results are tangible and very exciting: 

• Alignment in growth between MT, finance, marketing and operation
• Supplier confidence and discounts on growth trajectory
• Minimal out of stock items
• Improved financial planning
• Better grip on mid-term operational scaling

We greatly appreciate the support from EyeOn in setting us up for growth and we are looking forward to working together in the future.”

This was one of the questions that a group of executives from FMCG, food and retail companies discussed on the EyeOn inspiration event in the ADAM tower in Amsterdam Wednesday 13^th of November.

For many companies’ market circumstances are volatile, varying from global politics to individual consumers who can shift buying preferences ‘in a click’. Next to that data is everywhere, the war on talent is increasingly challenging and sustainability is driving major changes in how to be successful. Although many value chains are more transparent than ever before, this hasn’t made us better planners or decision makers (yet).

Luckily the possibility of next level planning and decision processes is available. Discussing the possibilities of no -touch planning with self-driving cars, the clear conclusion by all was that we need to improve 1-2 levels in the next few years.

Tooling and data are no limiting factors anymore. The group agreed that organisational readiness, cultural change and embracing the potential of analytics deserve the most attention in making the next steps.

The changing world of internet platforms is making clear that business models are changing and most likely will impact everybody not only in B2C but also in B2B, according to Maurice Jongerius from Bol.com. The consequences are not only technology driven but even more on the people side. Leaders and managers should start changing themselves!

Conclusion: Transformation thinking is key!

Overseeing Amsterdam, the conclusion was that transformation thinking is key!
5 best practices to start transforming tomorrow were shared by André Vriens & Jan Veerman:

• Ask the right questions for your business!
• Start collecting and storing data as of tomorrow
• Build strong analytical skills and embed analytics in business processes
• Collaborate with all relevant stakeholders in and outside your company
• Remain agile, just start!

The knowledge and networking event was all about inspiring, innovating, and implementing. EyeOn senior business consultant Joost Rongen kicked it off noting how the Amsterdome, a future-proof, circular dome once dedicated to the aviation sector that represented new technology and horizons, was the perfect place to ‘discover together where the latest technology will bring us and what it means for us as human beings.’
