The National Registry or “the Registry” produces the Certified Food Safety Manager™ exam (CFSM) and tracks those who have successfully completed the test. National Registry of Food Safety Professionals is only one of five organizations with food safety manager certification exams recognized by the Conference for Food Protection (CFP). The mission of the Registry is to develop, market and provide the best Psychometric Testing and certification service in the food safety and public health areas worldwide to candidates and administrators; and to provide on-going education and support.

There are many different groups of people involved to help the Registry in achieving their mission. The System for Environmental Exams (SEE) serves as the central point where the various stakeholders enter and retrieve real-time information. The system is integrated with the Registry's public website so users experience a seamless transition when logging into the system. Exam Administrators login to place orders and retrieve candidate scores. This information is available immediately after the scoring process has completed, providing information to administrators as fast as possible. Corporate sponsors login to export recent exam information for relevant candidates. This information can then be imported into their internal corporate databases which allows an easy method of data transfer that occurs on demand.

At the Registry, members of the Testing Department login to score exams and print certificates. The system was specifically designed for maximum productivity to allow members of the Testing Department to score and edit more exams in a shorter amount of time.

The SEE system also maintains an inventory of exam booklets. Each exam booklet is bar-coded and tracked from the time it enters the premises to the time it is shredded after use. As exam booklets are shipped, they are temporarily removed from inventory and assigned to appropriate orders. This allows the Registry to tightly control their inventory of exam booklets.

Since all the Registry's activities occur as part of the SEE system, members of Management can login to see productivity statistics by day, including statistics on the placement of orders, the exams scored, and the orders and exams shipped.

In addition to enabling the smooth processing of orders, the system was designed to allow the Registry to pursue other business opportunities. For example, with limited customization, the Registry can score various types of exams, which allows them to enter different markets where testing, scoring, and issuing certificates is required. As the Registry grows and changes in the future, the SEE system will grow and change to accommodate the needs of the business.
