Humanitarian Logistic Hub - Digital System
Digitization is a key aspect to improve efficiency, transparency and reliability. DVSS GROUP coordinated the creation of humanitarian aid monitoring software for Ukraine
➢ Digitized the warehouse management system
➢ The system allows you to collect detailed information and traceability of the pallets, through a QR code system.
Some futures- Digital System
Once received, each pallet/item goes through a 'double scan' process by the recipient.
The Hub sends a unique "received" QR code to the recipient in advance
This process allows the system to automatically synchronize information and enables the hub to provide reliable data confirming the withdrawal of goods, even in complex situations such as during the conflict in Ukraine.
Additional
information is displayed in the system such as the scan date
The considerable amount of data collected through the digital system at the Hub is crucial both for reporting purposes and for KPIs. The data collected by the digital system developed for the humanitarian hub has been divided into two main sections, to facilitate the needs of the mission:
1. General information (graphics, quantities, delivery times, etc.)
2.
Direct donations and purchases
The system also includes the possibility of geolocation of pallets or parcels received at their destination
