Distribution Management Platform
Situation
At a time when the world is facing a shortage of COVID-19 personal protective equipment (PPE), many municipalities, governments and non-commercial organizations work hard to facilitate the optimal distribution of PPE across front-line healthcare facilities battling the COVID-19 virus.
✓ Considerable work is required to accomplish this: registering and verifying suppliers and receiving organizations, collecting information about their proposals and orders, sorting orders and mapping them with proposals, supporting collaboration, informing on orders and proposal statuses etc.
✓ Supporting this process through a mailbox becomes a nightmare because it takes a lot of time from all parties, it makes the process unclear and leads to a lot of errors and inconsistencies. Moreover, it is impossible to build an efficient process and share responsibilities for request management.
Who is it for?

✓ The product gives you a framework where your suppliers and recipients can register, submit requests working in a convenient e-commerce-like interface and monitor the status of requests in real-time.
✓ Government or non-profit employees get a system where all suppliers and recipients are registered with all related information like contact details, verification status, order history. All orders are created in a unified way. And finally, all this information can be managed both from the portal admin user interface or from Excel Online – the most well-known and the simplest interface that has ever existed.
