DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
The vision of Tessellate Strategies Ltd. Is to track vaccine supply chains in Zambia using SMS messages. The principle is simple- when vaccines arrive in country, a sticker is applied to each box with a unique identifying code that drivers, stock movers, and healthcare workers text to the organization’s free number. Everyone along the way will be incentivized to text their toll-free number so Tessellate Strategies can collect data along the distribution chain. The team will develop an online platform that will integrate the data collected into an online, real-time tracking and inventory system. Their system will improve distribution efficiency and reduce vaccine wastage in the regions where they work.
