Food Safety and Product Safety - securing the food supply chain

Platform Offering Reduces Costly Barriers of Entry for Multi-Enterprise, Network Users

Dallas – March 11, 2010 – One Network Enterprises, a federated cloud computing platform for planning, execution, and business intelligence solutions, today announced the availability of an affordable solution for serialization and authentication called Secure Supply Chain. It fully supports the Food Marketing Institute, SQF (Safe Quality Food) and USDA and FDA’s HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) programs and reduces the need for companies to operate and administrate their own tracking networks.

For the first time authentication, serialization and supply chain management are being offered in a single solution that can be used to mark and track products individually from producers to manufacturers, distributors and ultimately the consumer.

“Although traditionally viewed as preventive technology, the affordability of Secure Supply Chain will quickly make it an agenda item for all companies,” said Greg Brady, CEO and Founder, One Network Enterprises. “Especially today with the increase in recalls, companies in a variety of industries are realizing the true cost of containing the crisis without the benefit of track and trace technology.”

One Network’s technology is key enabler for this food and product safety solution that provides an unprecedented level of visibility. Users on the network gain access to an affordable method that involves marking and authenticating products to facilitate location and identification at any point within the supply chain. Going forward the vision is to bring this capability to smart devices such as the iPhone to allow consumers to ensure food or product safety prior to purchase.
