You’ve built up your last mile distribution operations to provide critical products and services for those who need them most. However, working in the last mile means field teams are often faced with challenges getting reliable and up-to-date information on products and suppliers, maintaining efficient stock levels, and coordinating while offline in rural areas. Additionally, Covid-19 has put a financial strain on last-mile distributors and highlighted weaknesses in existing supply chains, making a difficult job even harder.

TaroWorks is an offline mobile field service app with a mission to improve product and service delivery to the poor by bringing real-time data to any organization, anywhere. In partnership with Qualcomm through its Qualcomm® Wireless Reach™ initiative, we will award a last mile technology grant of $20,000 to a social enterprise to help cover the cost of implementing the TaroWorks Suite*, a mobile field service app on Salesforce.com, designed to help distribution companies working in offline areas manage their distribution operations.
