New technologies at NGIA improve business systems
With the increasing pressures on time in today’s world, NGIA believes it is important to evaluate and utilise technologies that are readily available to make staff more efficient in the office or field.
For this reason, the association has invested in handheld personal digital assistants and custom written software for the industry development officers to use when undertaking Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme Australia (NIASA) audits. A similar program is being developed to help with retail audits conducted under the Australian Garden Centre Accreditation Scheme (AGCAS).
