The Tracking Researching and Certifying Kosher System Revolutionizes Kosher Certification
 
(NOTE: The TRACK system has been replaced with the KCert system that encompasses everything of TRACk and so much more!)

The OK Kosher Certification's Tracking Researching and Certifying Kosher System (TRACK) is the computer program that has taken the food industry by storm. TRACK maintains a database on more than 100,000 kosher products. It tracks the kosher status of products and ingredients, including information on formulas, manufacturing plants, and the effective dates of kosher certificates. The TRACK database is fully interlinked, so that all information that can benefit a client company is available at the touch of a button. While no machine will ever replace the OK's personal approach to client service, TRACK assures that we have all necessary information about your company's products at our fingertips.

TRACK is an invaluable tool for manufacturers seeking to identify kosher sources or to verify the kosher status of an ingredient. The system has won the admiration of kosher professionals worldwide, who appreciate the sophistication of the database and the measure of assurance that it offers manufacturers and end users. At OK headquarters, a team of highly trained data management specialists continually updates information in the TRACK System. A special security system assures that all data remains confidential.

TRACK gives companies certified by the OK a decided edge over competing companies in the following areas:

* Punctual response to ingredient approval requests, usually within 24 to 48 hours.

* Elimination of time-consuming gathering of certification letters for items that have already been updated in the database.

* Ability to isolate any impending problem without having to audit a client's entire ingredient list.

TRACK is enormously helpful to manufacturers and distributors of private labels. Its advanced data-gathering capabilities substantially reduce the time and work involved in the certification of private label products whose ingredients are already in the database.
