STRATEGY PROJECT: Inventory Management System
Organization: Avivo
Website: Avivo - Helping Minnesotans reach recovery, find housing, and find employment and economic advancement
Established: 1960 Number of Employees: 100+
Mission Statement: Avivo increases well-being through recovery and career advancement
while working to end homelessness.
Organization’s Challenge: Avivo procures large amounts of wellness/first-aid products for clients at their sites. They purchase them on a needed basis and then deploy them as needed. The tracking of incoming and outgoing products need to be updated/created for efficiency, visibility, and for reporting to grant funders. The current set up is labor intensive and not easily accessible for multiple users. The on-hand counts are non-existent, and this impacts budgets, operations, and accuracy. The state has been patient for better reporting, but the time is at hand for real change and a system set up. Brittany Biggers, an Avivo leader, is seeking a team to come alongside her to understand and evaluate the process, recommend inventory tracking practices, explore software upgrades and help create a roadmap for implementation.
Potential Deliverable(s):
1. Review of Inventory Process
2. Inventory Management Recommendations
3. Software Review of Inventory Tool/Resources
Requested Volunteer Skill Sets: Process Mapping, Organizational Process Design, Inventory Management, Project Management
2-3 Pro Bono Consultants: Pro bono consultants give their time and expertise to the challenge, supporting the nonprofit and team in finding a solution and working toward the agreed-upon deliverable.
