Can In-Kind and Social Aid Be Procured and Delivered Electronically?

One of the most important measures taken worldwide and in our country against the coronavirus pandemic has been to continue our social lives at home.

This has changed habits in both personal and business life and started a process of adapting to a new way of living.

People who resist change in their personal and working lives will have to take steps to become part of that change in this period, however much they may deny the need for it.

So will in-kind and social aid, which has been part of our lives since the beginning of humankind under different names and methods, be affected by this change?

Food parcels, along with food and clothing handed out in person, carry serious risks: hygiene, distribution conditions, checking that the goods are suitable, and a lot of personal contact. That makes this a good opportunity to move away from traditional methods.

At a time when we are all being told to #StayHome, making purchasing decisions online is a valuable way to get through this period as quickly and safely as possible.

First of all, both the private and the public sector need to strengthen their ability to buy and sell electronically. From today on, we should follow, develop, produce, sell and buy using contactless methods instead of physical contact.

Can we procure and deliver the benefits and social aid we provide to our employees and to people in need electronically?

Many retail chains with food and clothing store networks now also serve customers easily through their online stores. Allowances for your employees and for people in need can be procured and delivered in ways that suit every profile: electronic codes, a mobile app, or SMS. With the services developed by iWallet, you can offer a wider choice of brands and get fast, easy service from home through e-commerce sites, with no physical card and no contact between cashier and customer at the point of payment.
