How does the NGR work?
The NGR card may be used to deliver your commodity to a bulk storage site or direct to the end user, exactly as the system operates currently. However, instead of requiring separate cards depending on which you sell to and where you deliver, NGR offers the potential for one stop registration and one card delivery. Contact and payment details recorded in the NGR database against the unique card number are provided to the marketer or trader purchasing your grain, along with the delivery details on the receival ticket. This is exactly the same process as is currently used. However, the key benefit will be the uniform data formats enabling rapid information transfer and less communication errors between organisations. NGR cards will incorporate magnetic strips, bar codes and embossing. This means they will be compatible with all card identification machines being used at grain depots throughout Australia. Where needed NGR cards can be manually processed.
