World Vision's LMMS Advances Aid With Intermec CN50, FieldWorker

World Vision, a global Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, their families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice throughout the world, administers aid distributions to approximately 12-15 million people each year through relief assistance.

Providing aid for such a large number of people requires extreme efficiency. For World Vision's Otto Farkas, Senior Advisor of Innovation & Partnering at World Vision International, it was a simple trip to the airport that led to improving technology operations for World Vision's global relief efforts.

"During one of my trips, I noticed how airlines organize passengers using mobile technology and barcodes," said Farkas. "I suddenly had this 'light bulb' moment and thought 'what if we used this same sort of technology for processing our beneficiaries.'"

Farkas' simple thought led to the start of a project titled "Last Mile Mobile Solutions," or LMMS.
