Feature details
Frontline Humanitarian Logistics helps nonprofits manage the last mile of humanitarian aid, such as tracking procurement and recording against program budget; warehouse and transportation needs; and program assets across the full process.
The COVID-19 pandemic that confronted the world gave rise to an opportunity to create a groundbreaking partnership across 24 academic, public, and private sector organizations to deliver sustainable technology capabilities for the humanitarian community. Microsoft helped fund a sector-wide effort convened by NetHope to create a model that enables interoperability across the sector and provides a large efficiency gain for any partner developing logistics solutions for delivering humanitarian aid.
The solution published by Microsoft today maps the Common Data Model for Nonprofits to the sector-developed Frontline Humanitarian Logistics Data Standard so humanitarian goods and services donations connect to program service delivery components. This provides full donor traceability that is unique in the marketplace.
