Technology That Makes A Difference
CDP has been processing electronic benefit transfer (EBT) transactions every day since WIC Direct went live in 2009. What started as a single WIC agency has grown to support more than half of the nation’s WIC agencies. The processing engine was used as the foundation for our niche been nutrition EBT solutions including The Farmers Market Nutrition Program and Food Prescriptions.
The use of Data Direct, our business intelligence tool, is included with any Nutrition EBT solution.
While we are primarily known in the WIC community as an EBT processor, that's not all there is to our story. In fact, the clinic system is at the heart of every WIC program, as that is how families are managed and benefits are issued—as we've been an active MIS provider since 1986. Forty years later, we maintain more than 30 MIS systems in use throughout the country.
No matter your MIS needs, we have you covered. We can handle the following types of contracts (or any combination of the three):
Maintenance and enhancement
Maintenance and operations
Hosting
You can also integrate your MIS with Data Direct to harness the full power of business intelligence to guide your agency.
One of the best places to get produce is a farmer's market. However, not all farmers are equipped with a point-of-sale device necessary to process EBT transactions. With Farm Market Direct, as long as a farmer can access the internet and scan a barcode, participants of the WIC, Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), and Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) can redeem their benefits.
Farm Market Direct is flexible enough to work with real-time transaction processing or vouchers, depending on the program’s needs.
This solution provides programs with full redemption transaction processing, settlement, and reporting at no cost to the farmer. All transactional data is available within Data Direct.
Your community needs access to nutritious foods. You also need the peace of mind that the method you provide to obtain those foods will work, meet the needs of your specific program, be secure, and produce useful data to guide future decisions. The technology exists for you to evolve past paper- and token-based payment systems. With Healthy Food Direct, you’ll benefit from using the most current technology available—ours—without the up-front technology investment.
Healthy Food Direct is a restricted spend transaction processing solution that puts you in the driver's seat from the beginning. Every item your program allows for purchase is customizable, down to the UPC and PLU level. If you want to allow fresh produce, but not potatoes, you can do that. If you want to prohibit snack food purchases but allow nuts, you can do that too. The power is all in your hands (which is where it belongs, don't you think?).
The electronic health record is at the heart of an effective population health solution. Most were created for private clinics, and converting them to meet the needs of a public health environment left public health providers relying on antiquated practices. Until now.
CDP is the exclusive home of ezEMRx, a full-function, certified health record system built for public health departments.
CDP and ezEMRx bring their expertise together to transition public health clinics to an electronic health record solution.
We will handle contract and project management, tier I and II customer support, training, data hosting, and will even provide an optional data analytics solution. We’ve been providing all of these services for a really long time; we promise you’re in good hands.
We've been doing environmental health since 1983. The solution has grown since its humble beginnings and now offers complete inspection, permitting, and management processes to benefit every stakeholder involved.
Built to be a complementary solution to WIC Direct, Data Direct was developed to provide business intelligence capabilities for the myriad of data points generated by transactions, including participation, risk management, processing metrics, food management, retail management, and financial management.
Data Direct, using the Tableau front end, transforms countless data points into graphical and meaningful information. Using the charts and visualizations available, you can make informed analysis and business decisions.
All of CDP's solutions can be integrated into Data Direct. We can even integrate some non-CDP solutions such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or outside WIC MIS and EBT.
Information Technology evolves fast and it’s hard to keep up. As soon as you make the investment and spend the time to upgrade, odds are it’s already outdated or at risk. But what if you didn’t have to stress that anymore?
CDP’s Network Services is available to offer expert IT consulting. We will take on the heavy lifting of network management, system administration, and cybersecurity solutions—all while streamlining your operations, enhancing performance, and safeguarding your systems.

What could be better than that?
