Background
Having built a strong community and a robust certification process, it was time for MSVS’ next logical step. A software solution consolidating all essential data in one place, facilitating future growth and success. Leveraging her previous experience with Intact, Jovana recognized the potential of Intact Spark.
Goals and Challenges
MSVS faced challenges with analog data, relying on physical files and Excel sheets. This threatened to compromise data accuracy in the future potentially, hindered coordination with external auditors, and slowed growth.
The clear goal was to digitize operations and create a single source of truth, upholding MSVS’ key values of integrity and transparency. As an emerging certification body, they also focused on mitigating growing pains by preparing to manage increased data volumes.
This process aims to facilitate growth and ultimately position MSVS as the leading agricultural CB in Canada.

Intact Spark has proven to be the perfect solution, offering an integrated system that tracks audit progress, enables certificate creation, and provides a complete overview of audit-related documents and activities. Intact Spark eliminated the inefficiencies of physical files and Excel sheets by digitizing administrative operations, ensuring data accuracy and integrity.
MSVS has streamlined processes and improved coordination with external auditors. This enhanced overall operational efficiency while maintaining its high standards of certification excellence.
How? MSVS has fully utilized Spark’s functionalities through workflow steps such as audit conduction, correspondence, technical review, and certification tools. They have been able to track and input findings and complete technical reviews. Spark allows MSVS to log the status of any audit in an accompanying checklist, and create the certificate directly in the system upon completion.
The correspondence tool enables MSVS to manage all audit-related documents efficiently. It includes features for exporting and reporting, file handling, and managing online documents.File handling ensures all necessary audit information is easily accessible and manageable within Spark. The user-friendly workflows of Intact Spark have significantly enhanced the efficiency of MSVS’s daily operations. MSVS and Intact successfully implemented the software and securely integrated all data. Intact Spark’s centralized platform created a single source of truth, reflecting MSVS’s commitment to integrity and transparency.
In the short term, the benefits of implementing Intact Spark are already apparent, with notable increases in efficiency and data management. As MSVS continues to grow and evolve, it may exceed Intact Spark’s capabilities. At that point, transitioning to the Intact Platform will provide even greater scalability and functionality, supporting MSVS’ long-term vision of becoming the leading agricultural CB in Canada.
