Phytocontrol controls every stage of the analytical chain to guarantee the traceability, reliability and responsiveness of its services.
Logistics
We rely on a structured territorial organisation, managed by teams dedicated to planning interventions.
This coordination optimises routes, anticipates local constraints and ensures continuity of service across the entire territory, including in emergency situations.
Sampling is carried out directly on site by our technicians, following consistent protocols that are rigorously applied.
Their expertise guarantees compliant collection from the outset, an essential condition for the reliability of analyses and the traceability of samples.
Samples are transported in specially equipped vehicles, with thermal conditions suited to each type of analysis: ambient, refrigerated or frozen.
Temperature stability is monitored throughout transport to preserve sample integrity until they reach the laboratory.
Vehicle tracking and digitalisation of sampling data ensure continuous, secure traceability.
Information is transmitted to analytical teams without delay, limiting the risk of error and streamlining the entire process.
