In the last couple of years WPS has evolved. Not only in their product range but also in their core organization. Along with the hiring of new staff a new breeze went through the company.
We are paying better attention to service, differentiating ourselves and employee satisfaction.
Our mission and values of the past are not measuring up to our current drive. Therefore we have worded a new mission, dream and placed a new dot on the horizon for our company.
Our dream: Time for things that matter, by 100% handsfree growing
Our new why is leading in our new strategy. Of course, WPS’s solutions and designs make your work more efficient and save on labor costs. But what other values are we really offering our clients?
The answer is TIME. With our automation solutions, you can create peace of mind and overview of your operation. Which allows you to have more time for other essential things.
This Dream we are going to realize in the following ways.
- We want to unburden our customers by technical solutions. Technology and innovations form the basis for this. Going forward additional services will be essential to keep unburdening our customers.
- At WPS happiness at work for employees is key for WPS’s success. As an employer we want to ensure employees have the opportunity to develop their skills and or have more time for themselves.
- In the long term WPS also wants to have an impact on the world around us.
In practice what does “handsfree growing” mean?
We see handsfree in two ways: Literally no hands needed in the growing processes and handlings, but also have growers have their hands free to do other things during the available time.
In the last 20 years WPS has made big strides towards handsfree growing. Progressing technology is an important tool for us to realize our “Why”. In the last five years we have increasingly applied robotics in our solutions. Within these developments we kept developing ourselves as well. Besides this we believe in strong collaborations and partnerships, to ensure success now and in the future for parties involved.
Inspiration from customers
We realized our dream by our customers’ drive. Why does a client decides to invest a large sum of money on automation? One aspect is of course efficiency. But usually there is a deeper need for this, as can be read in some quotes from our customers:
“What really makes me happy, is the fact I don’t have to work weekends anymore since we got the WPS plant buffering system. Because of this I can spend more time with my kids, but also notice my coworkers seem less stressed.”
“Our highly educated researchers were often using their valuable time moving plants around. With the new automation we are able to spend more time doing the task which were truly essential for our research.”
“It would be amazing if we could have WPS automate our total operation, to allow us to spend more time on things that really give us motivation.”
Realizing the dream
Every day we would like to improve ourselves a little bit more towards our dream. If you have ideas to contribute to this as a partner or as a new colleague, please feel welcome to talk to us.
