Intermec, Inc. announced that World Vision has deployed the Intermec CN50 handheld mobile computers for use in aid distribution efforts around the globe. Paired with World Vision's "Last Mile Mobile Solutions" (LMMS) software system, the CN50 has helped World Vision achieve up to 90% in improved time savings for in-field operations. Previously using manual systems, LMMS and the Intermec CN50 are now utilized to scan beneficiary ID cards for aid distribution in countries across the world.

Once IDs are scanned, World Vision is able to develop a master list of all beneficiaries and track exactly what items they received and in what quantity - in real time. As a result of the new technology solution, beneficiaries receive aid faster and more efficiently compared to previous manual systems.
