  • Coordination difficulties with deliveries and distribution
Solution Framework
  • A centralized database with decentralized control
  • Efficient inventory and resource tracking
  • Privacy protection through tiered access controls
  • Autonomous operation capability for existing teams
  • Unified platform leveraging shared infrastructure
