PREPARED FOR,
Software Background
The purpose of this software is to build an Inventory and Warehouse Management
Software to manage the inventory of Non-food items/Core Relief Items (NFI/CRI) from
partner’s central warehouse to beneficiary distribution. Software will generate
consumption and inventory reports based on partner and their warehouses.
Through the dashboard of this software, it will be easy to monitor the status of
warehouses inventory and regular consumption based on partner. Inventory request
submission, get approval and notification will be much easier through this system. The
concern authority will receive smart notification through the system based on any
relevant actions.
Finally the system will surely improve UNHCR and his partner’s efficiency, bring more
transparency and significantly improve monitoring capability.
