|OD Description=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.

[https://taroworks.org/ 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 nonprofit 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.

TaroWorks, whose mobile app helps last mile distributors manage and gain greater visibility into sales, inventory and product maintenance offline, will award the $20,000 last mile technology grant to a qualified NGO, humanitarian and social service organization or another nonprofit to contribute to the cost of configuring and deploying TaroWorks Enterprise. TaroWorks is accepting applications for the grant subsidy program until July 8, 2022
