Smart innovation with use of SME voucher

During a festive moment on location, Alderman Wietske Veltman presented a digitization voucher to Emill de Waal of Huschka, owner of the Huschka Group, specialist in security services and security training. With this support from the program Make digitization work for you Huschka has realized a digital solution that significantly simplifies the quotation process and makes it more sustainable.

Working more efficiently

Using the voucher, Huschka developed a smart link on their website that allows clients to digitally sign quotes. This replaces the traditional printing and scanning process and increases service speed and reliability.

“We wanted to make it easier for our customers to quickly and securely approve our quotes,” says Emill de Waal, owner of Huschka. “Through a unique link, the customer receives a personalized quote page, where digital signatures can be made immediately. The signed quotation is automatically saved as a PDF in our system. This saves us and the customer a lot of time and use of paper. Huschka scores again in the area of sustainability with this.”

Support from Key Region Leiden

This digitization effort was made possible in part by the voucher scheme of Key Region Leiden, an initiative that supports SMEs in the Leiden region in their digital transformation. Dwayne van der Klugt, project leader of the program: “Huschka shows how digitization not only improves internal processes, but also enhances the customer experience. This is exactly what the voucher scheme is for.”

Leiden municipality encourages digital growth

Wietske Veltman, alderman for the economy and president of Key Region Leiden is also enthusiastic about the application: “This shows well how targeted support works and helps entrepreneurs to work and grow smarter with digitalization. By stimulating solutions from, for and by entrepreneurs, we strengthen the SME and keep our region competitive and innovative.”
