The
rapid pace of evolution already established for Aidmatrix’ humanitarian
logistics platform, SCM4Good, received a welcome boost recently from Cisco
Systems®.
This modular, web-based supply chain management system began with a
focus on warehouse management, has developed,
in the course of the last three years, has
grown to a suite of supply chain management modules. The development efforts have been collaborative,
working the interagency design with our International
NGO partners.
The full breadth of functionality
encompassed by the unique field of humanitarian logistics is extensive and
complex, and our work with key actors in the sector over the years has provided
us with an accumulated wealth of ideas, enhancements, and features that continue
to feed into our roadmap.
Cisco® has been a valued partner of Aidmatrix
for several years and our latest collaboration comes in the form of a grant
that will help us take an additional step forward on that road:
- Usability enhancements that will make SCM4Good easier to navigate, learn, and use – to help make aid workers even more productive
- Enhancements to our Distribution functionality extending our “last-mile” supply chain functionality to beneficiary level
- The integration of mobile technologies to provide new ways for the farthest reaches of humanitarian work to interact with the system
If your organization might be interested in
feeding into the SCM4Good roadmap, please do drop us a line!
Meanwhile, the funding limitations inherent
to the humanitarian sector make such contributions invaluable. We thank and
applaud Cisco, and all of our key industry sponsors, who continue to help us
advance toward our vision: a new level of sophistication for humanitarian
relief chain and logistics management tools.
