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.
