SOLUTION
In order to control and register the care packages, Quidgest, in a partnership with IMVF, developed a stock management system that automates the control of medicines and consumables, and allows for a permanent tracking of stock, from when it leaves the suppliers until it is distributed in Guinean health centers and hospitals.
RESULTS
Stock Management system developed by Quidgest has resulted in significant improvements in the management of resources and an enormous gain of efficiency for IMVF.
By fostering greater organization-wide performance, timing control and availability of information, this system improves the quality of the on-site project. It also allows for a correct and updated perception, through management indicators, of the work done by the organization. This means that there can be a quicker response time for IMVF and healthcare practitioners in relation to problems and issues concerning the project.
“I would like to thank Quidgest for its support and attention in the last few months to develop a solution that is intuitive, user-friendly and able to keep up with those that are the constraints of Guinea-Bissau and its structural challenges. We appreciate the time spent, since they were the only company able to develop this solution to the measure. ”
