CI World for Food
CI World is used to track and manage food assets as they move along the supply chain.
Pressure from consumers encourages retailers to seek produce from those growers and processors who can prove the traceability of their food – equally governments are likely to tighten legislation on the traceability of foodstuffs in the future.
CI World can help producers to meet the increasing need for traceability demanded by their customers and by government legislation. Unique challenges exist in the monitoring and control of complicated food supply chains. Being able to prove not only the provenance of produce but also the journey taken to transition from farm through factory to consumer has become a key need for business. With CI World, producers and processors have a technology platform that will address these challenges.
Management information system for food supply chain management
The individual modules of CI World are uniquely adapted to provide a full management information system for food production:
- CI Earth for Field Mapping
- TracElite for Supply Chain (Chain of Custody) Monitoring
- CI Author for storing, producing and managing documents relating to assets being monitored in CI World
- CI Audit for data validation and reconciliation
In the food sector, CI World can provide significant improvements to the food production management process by:
- Enhancing remote stock control and visibility
- Reducing stock losses due to poor quality, crop deterioration or transportation issues
- Improving the speed and accuracy of crop inventory taking
- Increasing manufacturing conversion through enhanced field and store quality control
- Minimizing waste in the field, store and factory
- Mitigating risk for purchasers

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.
