Maisha Meds develops technology solutions that leverage the pharmacy point of sale to increase visibility up and down medication supply chains and ensure evidence-based care. Better information and insight enables pharmacies, suppliers, and medication manufacturers to track inventories, forecast drug demand, purchase quality medicines, and provide patient follow-up and advice. .

• Directly mapping out and developing new operations systems, with an eye towards usability and simplicity while generating robust data to support existing program improvements

• Conducting research, testing and incorporating new tech solutions that can further streamline attaining key performance indicators by the operations team
• Small-scale operational R&D and field trials: Design small scale trials to test new models, analyze trial data, and report findings to evaluate whether to roll out models across Maisha Meds network. These may include:
• Gathering information and conducting need finding for ideas that can improve impact, scale, or operational efficiency
• Running small-scale tests to evaluate new operational ideas and synthesizing the results through memos and presentations
