Installing logistics sytems in a developing nation is challenging. However, the pre-requisities of efficient procurement, safe storage, management of expiration dates, secure transport and detailed tracking are even more critical.
In an environment where logistics management skills are limited and infrastructure and communication links scarce and unstable, a successful operation is critical because so many lives depend on it.
MACS has been working with various organizations in countries like Zambia, Haiti, Mozambique and Zimbabwe since 2007, undertaking a key role in both systems implementation and the widening of local knowledge in logistics best practice. Complimented by specifically developed logistics management information systems to record patient and regimen data through the field, the MACS WMS is the preferred choice of many aid agencies because it is cost effective, easy to use, functionally rich and multi-lingual.
"We were confident that MACS Software could provide us with proven warehouse management and procurement systems. But their practical, flexible approach to managing procurement (including landed costs) confirmed to us we had made the right choice. Apart from the obvious improvements, the systematic approach and disciplines imposed by the software has also enabled us to identify other issues, which we have now resolved."
