On the front lines of the fight to end world hunger is the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP), an organization that provides food during emergencies and ongoing nutritious meals to children across 88 countries.
Thousands of vehicles, aircraft, and ships are deployed every day to meet these needs. Coordinating such large-scale efforts, often in hard-to-reach places, is no small task.
To help pull it off, WFP uses a platform called DOTS which was built on Palantir software. DOTS helps streamline supply chain management and operations for aid delivery. Using the platform, WFP has been able to provide 100,000 more meals per month.
