Sanha Fittings migrates to Pharius
Eind 2020 werd in de Belgische markt een veelgebruikt complianceplatform uitgefaseerd. Vanaf begin 2021 is Pharius als volwaardig alternatief aangeboden aan organisaties die op zoek waren naar een nieuwe oplossing voor het beheer van wet- en regelgeving. Na enkele technische en functionele optimalisaties werd in oktober 2021 gestart met de migratie van klanten naar Pharius.
Een aantal maanden na de overstap van SANHA fittings in Ternat gingen we bij hen langs om te horen hoe zij het besluit tot overstap, de implementatie en het dagelijks gebruik van Pharius ervaren.
Sahna Fittings Ternat
SANHA is a traditional German family business that has been active for 50 years. It is one of the leading European manufacturers of pipe systems for heating, sanitation, cooling and industrial installations, with a range of more than 10,000 articles. Since the beginning of this century, SANHA fittings also has a production site in Ternat near Brussels.
Important in the business spirit of SANHA is that they do business in a responsible, sustainable and fair way. Sustainability means responsibility towards employees, customers and the environment. SANHA has been imposing these values for many years and consistently implements them in its business decisions. These business decisions earned them the ISO 50 001 (energy management) and ISO 9 001 (quality management) certificate.
“The biggest advantage is that the burden of proof is directly linked and accessible”.
The energy challenges of SANHA
The SANHA fittings building in Ternat was built around the 1970s and has a site of 10,000 m2. With their 3.6 GW annual energy consumption, they are “heavy users”. Therefore, they seek energy improvements where possible: 55% of their consumption is covered by solar panels, quick-wins were implemented and one continues to look for improvements.
SANHA expects that legislation will impose stricter standards on the industry in order to achieve their climate targets.
Thanks to Pharius, Geoffrey is immediately informed of these changes. Every change is clearly communicated, you can easily see what exactly has changed and determine the impact on your organisation and what this means for the legal compliance of each law.
Working with Pharius
Geoffrey was altijd al erg tevreden over de mensen en de functionaliteiten waarmee hij werkte. Toen Pharius werd geïntroduceerd en hij zag dat hij met dezelfde vertrouwde experts kon blijven samenwerken, was de keuze om over te stappen snel gemaakt.
“I actually find Pharius easier to use. After all, you don’t want to spend your whole day dealing with legislation.”
It was important that the migration would go smoothly. The migration took place a few months before the ISO 50.001 audit. So for Geoffrey it was a tricky point that all data was transferred to Pharius correctly and clearly. The legislation was divided into the themes of energy, environment and safety, so that all obligations could be easily traced in Pharius. Afterwards an additional training was given, whereby all possibilities and functionalities were clearly transferred and Pharius was immediately optimally usable. Thus, proving compliance went smoothly during the audit.
Geoffrey Van Mulders
Geoffrey Van Mulders has been working as a technical manager at SANHA since 2014. He has a master’s degree in industrial engineering in electromechanics. Besides his job as technical manager, Geoffrey is also the Energy Specialist at SANHA. As technical manager, he is close to the source and has the opportunity to reduce the final energy consumption in the use phase. The best part of his job is the variety.
