Aidmatrix Transportation
Management Tool
Traditional Transportation Challenges
• Humanitarian Transportation of food, medicine,
people, supplies, and shelters is challenging
because:
1) There is lack of product information from Donors
2) Lots of specific details to manage
3) Several stakeholders involved that need to be
connected for success
The Challenges:
Traditional Humanitarian Aid Processing
Donors/ Suppliers
Inefficiencies:
Lead Relief Agencies/HQ’s
Multiple phone
calls and faxing
Field Relief Agencies
Manual Reporting
Data re-entry
Duplication of effort
Data errors
Field Agents
Downtime
& Wait-time
