Revolutionizing Aid Distribution: How an Inventory Management App is Changing the Game for NGOs
Non-governmental organizations play a vital role in the promotion, protection, and implementation of human rights. They have the ability to bring the voices of affected individuals and communities to the attention of decision-makers and to promote accountability for human rights violations. — UN
As a software developer, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the development of various features in this system. Working on both the Mobile side with React Native and the Server side with DotNet Core and SQL, I aim to create solutions that will greatly benefit NGOs. Through this article, my intention is to share valuable insights and help NGOs make the most of the information provided.

Intro
Managing aid and support distribution can be a daunting task, especially for NGOs with complex hierarchies and workflows.
But with our inventory distribution app, role-based user experience is the key to unlocking efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
Our app allows organizations to manage the entire distribution process, track items and beneficiaries, and even handle emergency situations with ease.
And with region-based localizations, organizations can customize the app to fit their specific needs.
Say goodbye to paper-based systems and hello to a digitalized and streamlined workflow!
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have been providing essential aid and support to millions of people worldwide.
These organizations often face logistical challenges in managing the distribution process of aid and support to beneficiaries.
However, the advent of technology has provided solutions to these challenges, and one such solution is the Inventory Distribution App.
The Inventory Distribution App is designed to help NGOs manage the distribution process of aid and support in a safe and secure way.
The application allows NGOs to track aid items from their source (suppliers or vendors) to their destination (beneficiaries).
This means that NGOs can prevent aid items from ending up in unintended hands or non-target groups.
Core Functions of the System
Distribution
One of the most significant advantages of the Inventory Distribution App is that it provides a fully digitalized way of managing the distribution process. The app works offline, which means NGOs can use it in war zones and during natural disasters.
The app can also be used for both emergency and long-term aid distribution.
NGOs can create warehouses to manage aid and support for long-term usage and transfer items between warehouses with the integrated tracking system for the trucks that hold the support.
The Inventory Distribution App has several features that make it essential for NGOs.
The main function of the app is the distribution process.
NGOs can use this functionality to distribute support to beneficiaries already registered in the system, or they can register beneficiaries immediately.
The app allows NGOs to track the support items distributed with invoices and track the items by their serial numbers.
Moreover, managing aid and support distribution for non-governmental organizations can be daunting, especially for those with complex hierarchies. The process can quickly become convoluted and time-consuming, leading to inefficiencies and even errors.
Role-based
Fortunately, the inventory distribution app offers a solution to this challenge with its role-based user experience.
This feature facilitates workflow even in the most complicated hierarchy in the biggest organizations.
By assigning specific roles and permissions to users, the app ensures that the right people have access to the right information and tools they need to carry out their tasks efficiently.
This makes the app an ideal solution for large NGOs with multiple offices and teams operating in different regions.
It provides a streamlined and integrated approach to aid and support distribution, enabling organizations to make the most of their resources and achieve their goals more effectively.
Beneficiary Management
The app also has a beneficiary management section, where NGOs can manage the creation and updating of beneficiaries’ information and assign them to specific projects. NGOs can assign beneficiaries to many wallet types like items or cash.
Distribution Points
The Inventory Distribution App’s distribution points management feature allows the user to manage distribution points, unlock specific wallets, and prevent duplication of the distribution process to beneficiaries.
The app also has a wallet management feature that helps define the types of wallets for distributed items and supports the case of multiple types of items.
Products Management
The products management feature allows NGOs to manage multiple types of products in the system and specify which type of product belongs to a particular project.
Emergency Situation
In emergency and disaster situations, NGOs can use the field top-up feature to create a beneficiary and assign a project and a wallet type or distribution point.
The app can print and serialize an encrypted QR code for the beneficiary to receive support from a distribution point.
Region-based Localizations
Moreover, the app offers region-based localizations, making it easier for NGOs to cater to specific regions and their unique needs.
With this feature, organizations can seamlessly navigate cultural and linguistic barriers, ensuring that aid and support are distributed effectively. This level of customization is just one of the many integrated features that the app, developed by Genius Tags Ltd, offers.
Warehouses and Tracking System
Finally, the Inventory Distribution App provides a way to track items from source points to the destination.
The app allows NGOs to transfer items or bulk items between warehouses in offline and online modes and track them with serial numbers for each item or bulk of items and track the transfer of the items with vehicles that have GPS.
In conclusion, the Inventory Distribution App is a vital tool for NGOs to manage the distribution process of aid and support to beneficiaries.
The app is designed to save time, digitalize the workflow, and prevent duplication of the distribution process.
The app’s features, including the ability to work offline, track items with serial numbers, and manage multiple types of products, make it essential for NGOs.
The Inventory Distribution App is an excellent example of how technology can help solve logistical challenges faced by NGOs worldwide.
Please note that this comprehensive system boasts multiple integrated features and has been developed by Genius Tags Ltd.
