Logistics Management Information Systems
Providing effective healthcare relies on the timely delivery of medicines, vaccines, and other health commodities. Yet many low- and middle-income countries struggle with managing the logistics of this, because of a lack of up-to-date, accurate data and the tools to analyze it. Without these, it’s hard to get a clear picture of current needs and stock levels across the health system, and to make sure new deliveries arrive when needed.
Using data to drive better healthcare logistics
Bluesquare can help you overcome these challenges by setting up a tailored logistics management information system. We specialize in integrating supply chain information systems with health information systems.
This puts all your logistics data and analysis into one centralized system. Which makes it easier for you to accurately track, monitor, and allocate supplies to the right place, at the right time.
Our logistics management information systems give you comprehensive, joined-up information on current stock levels across health facilities and let you compare this to local population needs.
This is made possible by bringing together data from multiple sources including Logistics data from community and district levels, ERP/WMS inventory and tracking data from national and regional warehouses, National health management information systems (HMIS), Program data from national, district, and community health programs.
Bluesquare’s customized logistics information systems remove the time-consuming, error-prone processes of manually collecting, comparing, and analyzing the data you need.
Instead, our solutions put easier data analysis and advanced data visualization at your fingertips. This includes computing of indicators to monitor the supply chain, online dashboards, and geospatial mapping.
The outcome? Smoother, faster, and more precise logistics planning, monitoring, and management. And ultimately, better health for all through ensuring health facilities have the essential medicines and other supplies they need to deliver effective health services.
