This system helps to ensure that all families receive the right supplies at the right time, and may help reduce theft or fraud.
"We are abundantly grateful to UPS for providing this new distribution system. The technology will improve the speed of the distribution, helping us to keep the process as orderly as possible," said Damaris Frick, manager of the Salvation Army's camp in Port-au-Prince. "At the moment we are struggling with paper cards which disintegrate in the pockets of the bearers. It currently takes a team of 40 people to sweep through the camp to accomplish a replacement of damaged cards. That problem will be completely eliminated with this system. We will no longer need to manually input distribution data, which will also speed up and increase the accuracy of our reporting process to other NGOs and donors."
