As the coronavirus – more formally known as SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 – spreads internationally, the full impact of the disease is yet to be seen. With the number of cases increasing daily across more than 60 countries, the outbreak is putting extreme strain on everything from supply chains to hospital infrastructure to financial markets.This outbreak could have a lasting impact on our lives, families and communities, and we want to offer support where we can. To assist relief efforts, project44 is providing free real-time tracking to organizations on the frontline working to fight this virus.During a public health emergency, it’s critical for impacted individuals to get the resources they need when they need them – whether that means ensuring health systems are ready to handle increased demand, supplying healthcare workers with protective equipment to reduce their risk of contracting the virus, or providing patients with respirators and medication.Global companies are already facing significant supply chain disruptions as they try to manage these uncertain operating conditions. Humanitarian organizations and nonprofits are even more stressed as they work to manage that uncertainty while also rapidly supporting the communities in need.

A delayed shipment in supplies or medication could have dire effects on people around the globe. That is why project44 is offering free tracking for organizations -- including non-profits, NGOs, government agencies, hospitals, pharmacies, grocers, farmers, and food banks -- to help them support coronavirus relief and prevention efforts. This includes over the road tracking in North America, truckload tracking in Europe, and ocean tracking for inbound freight to North America.

Our vision as a company is to enable a more productive and successful world, and we’re committed to living up to those words. In a time of uncertainty, we want to make sure these organizations are equipped with the real-time visibility needed to help improve planning and deliver much needed supplies and safety products as quickly as possible.

We would like to thank these organizations for the incredible work they do to keep our communities and families safe, and we’re honored to support their efforts. To learn more and request tracking for your coronavirus response efforts, reach out to relief-efforts@project44.com.
