New compulsory specifications

33
ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
• The NRCS cited the need for an electronic system that will be used to
register external clients to enable them to lodge applications for permits or certificates, declare levies online and act as an electronic link between the NRCS and other partners.
• Consequently, Odirile IT Holding PTY LTD was appointed as a suitably qualified service provider for the implementation of the proposed solution. Given the business case that was presented by NRCS, Siebel Customer Relationship Management (CRM) 8.1.1.1 was identified as a suitable solution.
34
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
• The main objective of this project is to deliver an online system that will enable the NRCS to conduct its business in the most efficient and the most cost effective way.
• The system should be able to achieve the following: • Register clients online • Lodge applications online • View certificates and commodities online • Approve / Reject applications • Link with other strategic partners to share information • Declare levies online • Instant communication with clients on status of
application or levies due • Records samples handling • Draw reports on all process and • The system should have workflow and audit trail of
application from start to finalization.
35
Conclusion
We strive to ensure food safety and the protection of human life by implementing the
farm to fork principle as our ultimate objective.
