Hollison has developed a secure web-based Contamination Information Management System (CIMS™) to track contamination data and test results across the entire food value chain involving multiple entities, providers, transporters or producers. Unlike traditional Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) which only operate within a facility or entity the Hollison CIMS application allows data from across the entire food supply chain to be managed and viewed. The CIMS application also provides the capability of tracking contamination test results along the entire food value chain or at key HACCPs.

The secure web-based CIMS application is provided as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model or can be hosted internally within your facility. The application adheres to strict security procedures similar to those utilized in the banking and financial community. Rights managed individual User IDs enable the right person to see and have access to only specific information and capabilities. Strict adherence to best-in-class security ensures sensitive and private data is protected.
