What exactly does Swartberg do?

At Swartberg, we have been producing the best peanut butter, peanuts and cashews for the Dutch and European markets for over 100 years. With our focus on quality and innovation, we deliver a wide range of products. At Swartberg, it's all about taste and craftsmanship: we combine traditional recipes with modern techniques to provide a perfect taste experience every time. With our experience and product knowledge, we are the partner for everyone looking for the best peanuts, peanut butter and cashew nuts.

We are one of the largest peanut butter producers in the Netherlands!

Why did you choose Pluvo?

We chose Pluvo because it is very easy to create and manage training courses. It works intuitively, allowing us to quickly create new courses.

The biggest advantage is the overview it offers.

In Pluvo, you can see exactly who has completed which training and whether employees have passed a final test. This makes monitoring progress a lot easier than having a group in a classroom in front of you.

In addition, the use of this system is also much more flexible for the participants themselves. They can follow the training courses in their own time, which lowers the threshold and makes it feel less like an obligation, while still taking it seriously. They often make the training sessions at home or on their phones, which only increases accessibility.

All in all, Pluvo not only makes the training process more efficient for me as an administrator, but also more attractive and practical for the participants.

How is Pluvo deployed for you?

In Pluvo, we now offer our employees an extensive range of, mainly mandatory, training courses that ensure that our employees are optimally prepared to carry out their tasks safely and effectively. We cover basic knowledge such as food safety and HACCP as well as specialised topics, including technical service training and managing critical control points.

All training courses are offered online, giving employees the flexibility to learn at times that suit them best.

Although the emphasis is on training in Dutch, we also offer important courses such as HACCP in English, so that international colleagues can also learn optimally. These mandatory training courses are essential to meet the highest safety standards and ensure that our employees can continuously grow and develop, contributing to the overall quality and safety within our company.

How is building in Pluvo experienced?

We built all the training courses ourselves in Pluvo, which is very easy and organised. Every year, our employees repeat the same mandatory training courses. This ensures that the knowledge of our employees remains up to date and that everyone continuously has the right necessary knowledge and skills.

Thanks to Pluvo, we can easily manage this process.

Do you use other tools to enrich the e-learning?

We built all training courses entirely with Pluvo's authoring tool and did not use any other tools. This was not necessary for us.

What tips do you have for other organisations that want to get started with e-learning to offer HACCP training courses, for example?

First, e-learning is a good way to effectively offer training courses such as HACCP to your employees.

So be sure to consider this option if you want to organise and offer flexible and accessible training courses.

In addition, setting up an e-learning program naturally takes time and effort, so make sure you are willing to make this investment.

In the long term, the benefits certainly outweigh the investments.

Finally, I would give you the tip that you should make sure that your e-learning is well structured and that the content is up to date.

This way, the e-learning always remains relevant and effective for your employees.

What do you want to say about Pluvo?

Pluvo is a user-friendly platform that makes it easy to create and manage training courses. In addition, Pluvo is constantly developing, adding new functionalities, which is very nice.

In conclusion: Pluvo offers a flexible and efficient solution for training employees, where both administrators and participants benefit from a clear and accessible learning process.
