Testimonials
“DHIS2 is pleased to partner with Crosscut to provide their geospatial and supply chain planning app to the DHIS2 community. Crosscut integrates with DHIS2 and gives DHIS2 users the ability to independently create catchment area maps, estimate target population, analyze accessibility, plan supplies, and monitor coverage at the sub-district level. This helps to ensure settlements are not missed, services are provided equitably, and the right quantity of supplies are where they need to be. Crosscut’s ability to enable users to easily create catchment areas is a perfect complement to DHIS2.”

“The Crosscut team has helped UNICEF think through digitized electronic microplanning strategies in Ethiopia and Uganda and as a result Governments have made wise choices. Crosscut is responsive, attending Government meetings at a moment’s notice and assisting with designs just because they are committed to the approach. They are a strong player in the field and resourcing them would help us all in moving forward. They are very customer orientated with their solutions. We highly value them as a partner because they can demonstrate impact for children.”

“The Crosscut collaboration has been vital in improving our ability to plan mass drug administration campaigns to eliminate transmission of lymphatic filariasis in Haiti. The campaigns depend on accurate population estimates not only to procure medicine and to organize distribution teams, but to calculate treatment coverage, which is a key performance metric. In challenging environments like Haiti where population estimates may be derived from decades-old census data, we need innovative solutions like Crosscut to solve these challenges and to enhance program impact.”
