Operational Impact
The implementation of the USSD portal has significantly improved One Acre Fund's engagement with farmers. The user-friendly functionality of the solution means that clients can request anything they want or need at the touch of a button, improving the customer journey. The USSD portal has also reduced the organization's reliance on field staff to disseminate information. Furthermore, the solution has helped One Acre Fund reduce its deficit, enabling it to expand to more regions faster, with limited donor funding growth per year. The organization has also been able to move away from manual data manipulation, resulting in faster processing times, fewer overhead costs, and an improved customer experience. | |
