Custom Platform
Challenge
Managing scattered agricultural and storage infrastructure across multiple field locations presented a significant logistical hurdle. The WFP required a robust, mobile-ready asset management platform capable of unifying widely distributed agricultural and storage infrastructure.
Solution
Intrazero designed and delivered a custom platform tailored to humanitarian logistics and infrastructure: distributed tracking of tools and storage facilities, predictive maintenance for temperature-critical assets, and a field-ready bilingual mobile app for remote agricultural sites.

Sector context
Why this matters
For international humanitarian organizations like the World Food Programme, supply chain and logistics infrastructure are quite literally lifelines. In agricultural and food security projects, the failure of storage infrastructure or the misplacement of logistics tools can result in devastating food spoilage and project delays. Maintaining flawless, real-time oversight of these widely distributed assets is critical to ensuring operational continuity and donor accountability.
The challenge
Before deployment: the operational picture
Managing scattered agricultural and storage infrastructure across multiple field locations presented a significant logistical hurdle. The operational consequences were specific and measurable:
- Tracking vital logistics tools across remote projects relied on fragmented, manual spreadsheets.
- Preventive maintenance for temperature-critical storage infrastructure was largely reactive, risking spoilage.
- Consolidating asset data for strict UN donor compliance audits consumed multiple administrative days each quarter.
- Field agents lacked mobile, real-time access to update the status of infrastructure.
- Replacing lost or poorly maintained tools drained operational budgets unnecessarily.
The WFP required a robust, mobile-ready asset management platform capable of unifying widely distributed agricultural and storage infrastructure.
The solution
How it works
2
Predictive maintenance for security
Implemented automated scheduling to ensure storage infrastructure receives timely preventive maintenance, drastically reducing the risk of failure.
3
Field-ready mobile access
Empowered WFP agents with secure, bilingual mobile applications to update asset conditions and scan QR tags directly from remote agricultural sites.
