Challenge	Feed The Children, an international, nonprofit relief organization, was already using QlikView for its commodities tracking system. However, the system was not being used to its fullest potential. The organization was facing challenges in improving efficiency in gaining access to system data, gaining visibility into donor behavior, and increasing efficiencies in supply chain. The organization annually distributes more than 111 million pounds of food and other essentials to children and their families in the US and internationally, supplementing more than 760,000 meals each day. With such large volumes of goods moving through its six warehouses in the US, the non-profit relies on an in-house commodity tracking system to manage its supply chain from donors to recipients.
