The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will apply as of 25 May 2018. This means that from that date onwards, the same privacy legislation applies throughout the European Union (EU). This law replaces current local law regarding Personal Data Protection and imposes stricter requirements on the way in which personal data are processed.
GDPR in short
Companies should have a legal basis for processing personal data. As a company you cannot just save data or use it in the way you wish for. In addition, personal data may not be kept longer than necessary for the purpose of the processing. GDPR therefore brings new obligations for companies., such as:
Most companies will have to modify their privacy statement. The privacy statement should at least includes the following:
- Company details, contact information
- Data Protection Officer of your company
- Personal data your company processes
- Whether you process special and / or sensitive personal data
- For what purpose and on what basis you process personal data
- How long personal data is stored
- Sharing personal data with third parties
- Cookies, or similar techniques, that you use
- To view, modify or delete data
- How personal data is protected
In order to store personal data, you need permission from the person in question. And you have to record this permission! And note: this applies to both digital and offline communication. Customers are an exception. For example when you send a digital newsletter to your customers, you do not need explicit permission from your customers. However, you are obliged to ensure that customers can easily unsubscribe from your newsletter.
Persons whose data you process have the right of access, modify and delete their personal data.
Next to that you are obliged to conclude a data processing agreement with all companies that process personal data for you You as a customer of Qbil must also conclude a data processing agreement with Qbil. After all, personal data is processed in our software Qbil-Trade®. We come back to this later in this newsletter.
In the event of a data breach, the Dutch Data Protection Authority needs to be notified immediately.
Do you fully comply with the GDPR?
Do you still not fully comply with the AVG? Or do you not know exactly what you still have to do?
This site tells you step by step what you still need to do to comply with the AVG law:

What about Qbil Software & GDPR?
What have we done so far?
- We have extended and modified our privacy statement. You can find these on our website and in the news overview of Qbil-Trade®.
- We have drawn up a data leaks protocol. This protocol is part of the data processing agreement that we will send you this week.
- We have a register for documenting any personal data leaks.
- We have concluded a data processing agreement with all our suppliers that process personal data for us. For example with Google Analytics, MailChimp, hosting companies but also with our accounting software supplier and the company that processes our payroll administration.
- We have compiled a record of processing activities
Data Processing Agreement (DPA)? What is that?
Our Qbil-Trade® software processes personal data for contracts, deliveries and invoicing etc. We are therefore a processor of personal data that you are responsible for. We are obliged to conclude a data processing agreement with you that specifies how we handle personal data. The agreement offers guarantees that the protection of the rights of persons is guaranteed.
The main contact persons known to us will receive the data processing agreement this week from Hikmet Once through e-mail.

Why prefer Best of Breed rather than an integrated system with accounting?
Do you choose software with as many functionalities as possible or do you choose the solution that best fits your business processes? More and more companies are opting for the latter. Either a ‘best of breed’ solution instead of a fully integrated system.
Many integrated systems started as accounting software and from there developed into ERP software. This software determines your business processes and forces your organization into a straightjacket. In the long run, that often squeezes ……
With a best-of-breed solution, the business and business processes of an organization are the basis … a completely different starting position and therefore, the name says it all ? , often the better solution in terms of flexibility and functionality.
Do you recognize this situation?
You quickly need to adjust an order. However, the order is already ‘in progress’ in your ERP system. You cannot add more lines to the order but above all: you cannot change the quantities. You need to reverse the complete order – this will take you at least an hour or more …
A new implementation is an extra rewarding task if the customer abandons an integrated system. An efficiency increase of up to 130% (!) is no exception.
Through the separation a change, addition or correction is quickly made. You are ready with a few mouse clicks. Reversing a mutation within an integrated system requires more actions, time and effort ….
And the advantages of an integrated system? Our intelligent interfaces with the best accounting systems on the market ensure that you do not have to enter anything twice and also have the right information in Qbil-Trade. The simple export functionality of Qbil-Trade® ensures that the financial facts from Qbil-Trade® get into your accounting software. Smoothly. The data will only be exported to the accounting software as soon as the purchase invoice is received, or when the sales invoice has been sent.
In this way there is a clear line between your trade and accounting without duplicate entries. This saves time and effort.
“As a trader, I do not get my targets because I am wasting my time with asking permissions whether I can change my contracts or call orders. Without this flexibility, I am limited in my job “.
User integrated ERP system
Small adjustment meant at least 2 hours of extra work
I worked at the export department of an international company. We exported chemical raw materials all over the world. We worked with a well-known and large ERP system.
If one of our order pickers, of course just before shipping, could not find a barrel of a certain batch number … ..and that was often the case … that was a tragedy. Hours of extra work: reversing everything, crediting, preparing new documents… What a stress!
With Qbil-Trade software such a small change is also really a small change. As easy as pie 😉
The advantages of your choice for Qbil Trade, best of breed
Within Qbil-Trade® you can monitor and manage the credit limits and position limits, book purchase invoices in which the general ledger account number and VAT code will immediately be selected, creating invoices and credit notes, accounts receivable and payable management and automatically submit the intracommunity declaration (CBS-IDEP). For each relationship several VAT numbers are selectable.
In addition to the sales and purchase invoices, it is also possible to export contact information into your accounting system, including creditor and debtor numbers used in your accounting system.
The credit and position limits and our currency hedging module communicate vice versa with your accounting software.
The advantages:
- You save a lot of time
- Maximum flexibility
- User Friendly
- No double entry
- Risk of errors in data entry is minimized

This new module has been developed in cooperation with one of our customers. The export module is delivered including a digital link with Customs, Chamber of Commerce and Portbase.
With the data from Qbil-Trade, you can directly create a Certificate of Origin (CvO) and legalize it by the Chamber of Commerce. The same applies to customs declarations of import or export. Via Portbase or any other Port Community System, you can transmit all data of a cargo or container electronically, giving you instant access to your Bills or Lading, and real-time ETAs, customs checks, and loading and unloading confirmations.
In Qbil-Trade you can find the status of all actions at order level.
The export module, of course, is not limited to the Netherlands. It is possible to link with the chambers of commerce, customs and any port community system in Europe, North and South America and Asia.

With OCR no more any manual activities. Benefits only.
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. This OCR technology allows you to convert different types of documents into editable and searchable data such as scanned documents, PDF files or digital images. The OCR solution of our erp software Qbil-Trade® automatically processes all your invoices no manual activities anymore. Benefits only.
Recognizable?
You receive your invoices electronically, by e-mail or by post. The electronically delivered invoice is usually incorporated directly into your ERP or accounting system. Unfortunately, this does not apply to invoices received by post or by email (pdf attachment). Usually, they are still processed manually. This is a time-consuming job with a fair chance of making mistakes. And you have two different invoice processing methods. This is not very efficient, right?
There is a solution. With the OCR solution of Qbil-Trade® you can do it smarter, more efficient and cheaper. It is a solution that automatically processes all your invoices in the same way in Qbil-Trade®. With other words a solution that will save you a lot of time, a lot of mistakes but most of all annoyance.

Our module Logistic Control Centre, in short LCC is a piece of technology where all logistical movements are visible and that can be dragged and dropped. All the necessary information is visible instantly.
When an order has been made, all the amendments can be done from this screen. Even the invoices can be created from this screen.
When a load or unload date changes you can simply just drag and drop in this screen to the right dates.
It is also apparent which finalized orders have not been invoiced yet and these orders can be invoiced directly and sent without even leaving the LCC screen. On the right in the screen all product groups and products that are available on stock are displayed. Or if you work with silo stock then all the silo’s and their weights are displayed.
Clicking on a line shows the history of a stock or a silo. In case of a silo the history will continue until the last moment the silo went empty. Furthermore this module contains a messaging function and a mutation window. In case you have your warehouse and are also using our “own warehouse” module then the incoming stock, outgoing stock and stock movements appear real-time in this window.
Watch our demo video about our LCC module »
