Maintain public health and safety by tracking critical data for agricultural producers and importers, testers, processors, and transporters.

AMANDA allows your agency to track important data for agricultural producers and importers, testers, processors, and transporters in order to help keep animal and human food supplies safe. Its flexibility enables your agency to effectively manage and centrally store all inspection, licensing and renewal data and processes for all businesses and individuals involved in agricultural trade.

Since many licenses dealing with food distribution and the use of chemicals is strictly regulated, AMANDA enables your agency to easily suspend licenses or issue quarantines in a timely and complete manner. This not only protects citizens from potentially unsafe business practices, individuals or organizations, but also helps mitigate the risks inherent in regulating many different agricultural related license types.

This solution takes advantage of the core licensing management elements that are part of every AMANDA-based licensing solution. Highlights of the AMANDA solution for agricultural license management include the following:

• Producer Licensing

  AMANDA automates licensing for producers such as farms and dairy processing plants and helps to ensure they meet license conditions such as reporting pesticide use.

• Laboratory Data Integration
  

  AMANDA imports ongoing test results from labs, automatically determines risk profiles from test histories, and shares the data with producers and veterinarians via the web. With AMANDA's mobile capabilities, inspectors can easily track animal and plant inspections from the field and upload completed reports back to your agency`s central AMANDA application.

• Premise Identification

  AMANDA collects National Animal Identification System (NAIS) compliant premise identification data and exchanges it with other state or federal databases using standard industry protocols.

• Disease & Vaccination Tracking
  

  The tracking of animal health to fight diseases such as Mad Cow and Johne’s disease, which affects livestock, is made possible with AMANDA. The solution manages vaccination programs to protect animals against infectious outbreaks. AMANDA can track the health of an animal as well as its movement across herds. This information is useful for agriculture departments, veterinarians and animal owners because it helps them find the source of the outbreak quickly and accurately to stop the spread of diseases.
