CI Author for Food
CI Author provides the physical security and logical management of all soft copy documents uploaded to, stored in or produced by CI World.
As well as providing text reports on information held in CI World, the CI Author module can be used, for instance, to prepare and produce waybills and invoices based on information held in the system, such as product quantities and volumes. Similarly, data capture screens can be configured to record details of asset utilisation such as the amount of fuel that is used in vehicles. Or, for example, tachometer readings and the driver details which can then be compiled within CI Author to produce detailed reports on asset utilisation.
Data held within CI World can be manipulated and exported through the Document Management module as reports for viewing on screen or printing. Also in the case of data gathered using CI Earth, the information can be produced directly as a graphic by overlaying captured data points into products such as Google Earth for immediate visualisation. The data can also be exported into other digital mapping applications for enhanced land planning.
Food production management reporting and legal compliance
All data reports created by CI World can be filtered and stored or printed through CI Author. The module can also be used for the uploading of regulatory documents which can be viewed online by clients or officials and confirmed as being in order.
Paper-based records are open to fraud and often errors are found too late to put things right. With CI Author, there is immediate notification of error. This module can be used to reduce stock losses, enhance performance and aid planning.
CI Author forms the basis for management reporting within the CI World environment and enables flexible report writing and document generation.
Examples of documents that can be generated include:
- Regulatory reporting
- Royalty statements
- Sales invoices
- Delivery orders
- Picking lists
- Quotations
- Product specification documentation
CI Author also allows for the production and cataloguing of secure barcodes, identifying which barcodes have been issued to which users and allowing an additional layer of security when it comes to using barcodes to tag food assets being tracked in CI World.
All report formats generated by the document manager can be delivered printer ready or can be exported to other formats
CI World delivers significant cost benefits in the following areas:
- Replacement of paper based reporting systems
- Once-only data entry
- Simple report generation
- Links to banks or other accounting systems
In addition the flow of data within an organisation is managed across the food supply chain so that business issues can be addressed quickly and efficiently.

CI World for Forestry
According to the World Bank, illegal logging causes losses in assets and revenue in excess of US$15 billion a year in developing countries alone. Timber companies and governments are using CI World to enhance control of their supply chains, to secure improved inventory management and to promote the economic and environmental future of their local communities. CI World enables the tracking of timber from the standing tree in the ground to finished product for export – right across the supply chain.
CI World for Food
As consumers are becoming increasingly aware of food quality, safety, origin and traceability – pressure is being exerted on processors to keep track of every component in the manufacturing process. CI World is being used to monitor food supply chains from farm to factory providing growers, farmers, producers and agronomists with business critical data on issues ranging from crop quality in the field through to product characteristics as food ships to consumer locations.
