Operational Impact
The strategic support from Flexport has enabled International Medical Corps to streamline its relief efforts, making logistics management more efficient and transparent. The organization has been able to reduce the time it spends on customs, ensuring that documentation matches packed contents and shipments reach destinations as planned. The visibility and partnership with Flexport was especially helpful during the Covid-19 pandemic, when maintaining inventory became more fraught than ever. Flexport's local presence in China enabled it to navigate the regulatory update and replenish the non-profit’s stock. The organization was also able to allocate more funds to procure additional PPE and medical equipment due to shipping costs covered by the Flexport.org Fund. | |
