New Orleans city selects Upp Technology solution for improving mobile inventory management effciency

The City of New Orleans Department of Homeland Security and the City of New Orleans Fire Department have selected Upp Technology, Inc. to help improve the efficiency of their day-to-day operations. New Orleans chose Upp’s irms|EM (Emergency Management) solution, deployed on the irms|Go-Kit for a mobile inventory management system allowing the city to track inventory through the use of bar-coding at their warehouses and storerooms. Furthermore, the same Go-Kits can then be redeployed to the field in times of emergency to receive and distribute cots, water, food, and other critical supplies needed in Emergency Response.

A self-contained mobile warehouse, the 'Go-Kit' supports the activation of distribution and treatment centers in as little as 15 minutes and maintains rigorous control of supplies. It provides complete visibility both upstream -- to command centers -- and downstream -- to field operations, allowing crisis teams to focus on the most important priorities. The system comes with options to record critical medical information such as lot control and patient level information making it well suited for day-to-day public health initiatives, H1N1 Responses, as well as natural disasters like hurricanes.
