What are the components of a CommTrack logistics system?  

  1. CommTrack Mobile: the mobile device part of CommTrack. This could be a phone, tablet, or someone entering data using a computer. Someone using CommTrack Mobile is generally the stock-keeper and stock-requester (could be a pharmacist at a village dispensary). 

  2. CommTrack: the website (www.commtrack.org) where administrative users (decision makers in the supply chain) can access data, configure CommTrack mobile application, and manage mobile workers.  CommCareHQ is the web portal that administrative users arrive at once they successfully sign in on CommTrack site.

All data is collected on a HIPAA-compliant web-based server where it is protected, backed up, and immediately made accessible to supervisors and program managers through automated, pre-programmed reporting and data exports. New deployments can quickly get started by opening an account on the server, registering new users, and customizing the system for their commodities, reporting needs, and business requirements.
