Kelly Products Announces New Software Contract with Clemson University

COVINGTON, Ga., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelly Products, a leading provider of essential information and automation solutions to the agribusiness industry, today announced a contract with Clemson University for Kelly Registration Systems (KRS), the software division of Kelly Products, to build and maintain Clemson University's administrative management system for product registrations, licensing and renewals. In addition, KRS will manage the state's pesticide, fertilizer, and nursery inspection, investigation and enforcement efforts.

KSAMS (Kelly State Administrative Management System) will allow the state to capture product registration, licensing, permitting and certification data electronically, and facilitate data sharing among departments and other KRS solutions. All automation is delivered by a hosted platform that requires no infrastructure investment while delivering greater accuracy, faster processing and immediate payment capture.

Additionally, KRS will implement KSIIS (Kelly State Inspection and Investigation System) to manage the state's investigation and enforcement efforts. This application allows state field inspectors to utilize the benefits of technology to increase compliance and awareness for the public.

"The key to information efficiency is automation, and we have proven this can be done flexibly and affordably. We are able to develop a custom software package that meets an organization's needs on a single platform accessed online, with no infrastructure investment required," says Stuart Edmondson, CTO, Kelly Registration Systems. "As a result, agencies can fulfill their duties at a level not possible with paper-based systems, even in the face of contracting budgets."

Prior to this contract, KRS has worked with the South Carolina Department of Agriculture managing numerous state product renewals including seeds, salvagers, weighmasters, specialty foods, butterfat testers and samplers, pump and scale repairman, frozen desserts, metrology labs, commodity assessments, and more. KRS also developed and hosts the state's Certified South Carolina website and the electronic South Carolina Market Bulletin.

"Our traditional clients are state departments of agriculture; however, the regulatory agencies vary from state to state. We have been working with Clemson University for some time and are happy to deepen the relationship," said Edmondson.
