Client Overview

Mission Rabies is a WHO-backed NGO working to eradicate rabies by running large-scale dog vaccination programs across multiple geographies, using technology to manage operations efficiently.

To scale effectively, Mission Rabies needed a centralized system to track vaccinations, streamline operations, and optimize data-driven decision-making.

Challenges

We had to overcome many technological barriers to develop a scalable system that delivers consistent results across vaccination programs.

Low-connectivity regions

Field teams traveled to and operated in areas with poor internet access and limited electricity, requiring offline capabilities with minimum battery usage.

High-volume field data

Large volumes of data have to be collected on the field, which needs processing daily for analytics, smart reports, and program management.

Repeat dose tracking difficulties

Dogs require multiple vaccinations over their lifetime to prevent rabies. Hence, keeping a record of vaccinated dogs was a crucial data point to manage.

Solution

We implemented a central management system with a cloud-based, scalable backend that records data on vaccinated dogs, areas covered, success graphs, and more.

Offline-first mobile app

Developed an offline-capable frontend with battery optimization features and automatic data sync when connected to the internet, ensuring uninterrupted functionality in remote areas.

Back-office portal

Built a back-office portal with remote task assignment capabilities and swift communications, along with precise location targeting and path tracking systems.

Visualization dashboards

Integrated custom dashboards for data visualization, improving decision-making and supporting team direction and project management.

Chip-enabled tracking

Integrated microchips to uniquely identify each dog. During field visits, the app connects to chip scanners to access records instantly and make informed vaccination decisions.

Business Impact

Our solution led to successful campaigns across different regions and helped optimize critical operations like data collection and remote program management and monitoring.

Efficient executions

Successfully recorded vaccination for 1M+ dogs, awareness programs for 3M children & adults, and field surveys across 16 countries.

Improved funding

Curated data reports enabled successful fundraising from major organizations like Dogs Trust Worldwide and MSD Animal Health.

Global impact

Multiple organizations adopted Mission Rabies’ model for vaccine programs, including the CDC using a similar approach for human vaccinations in the U.S.
