World Vision Boosts Global Aid Distribution Efforts with Intermec Rugged Mobile Computers

Business Wire
Intermec, Inc. (NYSE: IN) today announced that World Vision, a
global Christian humanitarian organization that provides
humanitarian aid to approximately 12-15 million people each year
through relief assistance, has deployed the Intermec CN50 handheld
mobile computers for use in aid distribution efforts around the
globe. Paired with World Vision’s “Last Mile Mobile Solutions”
(LMMS) software system, the CN50 has helped World Vision achieve up
to 90 percent in improved time savings for in-field operations.
Previously using manual systems, LMMS and the Intermec CN50 are
now utilized to scan beneficiary ID cards for aid distribution in
countries across the world. Once IDs are scanned, World Vision is
able to develop a master list of all beneficiaries and track
exactly what items they received and in what quantity – in real
time.
As a result of the new technology solution, beneficiaries
receive aid faster and more efficiently compared to previous manual
systems. World Vision has saved at least 50 percent in business
process time savings, but more recently up to 90 percent in some
cases as the technology was further leveraged across multiple
projects in the field.
Other results include:
- Faster verification. Intermec
and LMMS have been able to achieve a 60 percent improvement in the
time required to verify beneficiaries
- Improved processing time. One
individual can now process aid for 1,000 households in a single
working day, which previously took more than a full working
week
- Reduced wait times for
beneficiaries. Wait times for beneficiaries to receive aid have
decreased to 2-3 hours from up to a full day.
“Technology is not going to eradicate the underlying cause of
human suffering and poverty, but it is an enabler for us to conduct
operations more effectively,” said Jay Narhan, Team Leader, Applied
Technology & Product Development, World Vision International.
“The cameras on the Intermec CN50s have allowed us to better verify
our beneficiaries, and paired with the long battery life as well as
the ruggedness of the actual devices themselves, the CN50 provided
everything we needed in one convenient solution.”
