The C.O.O.L. program - voluntary now, mandatory in October, 2004 - requires all producers of items entering the food stream to provide detailed records regarding the production, treatment and movement of covered commodities for up to two years after the final sale. ScoringSystem.com makes it quick, easy and inexpensive to track meat, fish, produce, peanuts and all other perishable commodities.

The National Institute for Animal Agriculture has determined that a 48-hour traceback capability is the ultimate goal of a National ID system, especially in the event of an animal disease outbreak. It concluded that a national ID system should have the capability to identify all premises (livestock operations, feed yards, markets, or other stops in the marketing chain) that had direct contact with a diseased animal within two days after discovery. It recommended that movement of individual animals or units of animals be recorded into a central database, or a seamlessly linked database infrastructure. ScoringSystem tracks all steps in the supply chain and can provide the needed traceback information within minutes, not days.

"It's important that we, as a global community, have a record keeping system that operates 24/7, that passes secure records through the supply chain with instantaneous access," said William Kanitz, President of ScoringSystem, Inc., a farmer and former employee of NASDA, USDA-NASS. "Our system satisfies these requirements utilizing state of the art database technology and we also have a paper-based system that works with it seamlessly, eliminating the duplication of records that is common when transferring an animal from owner to owner."
