Araguaney
About

The common standard for in-kind humanitarian aid logistics

Araguaney was born to solve a concrete problem: when an emergency hits, dozens of collection centers work separately, each their own way, and no one can see the national picture or prepare shipments that meet the rules. We're the standard that connects them.

Why Araguaney exists

After a disaster, in-kind aid piles up faster than it can be organized. Without a common standard, every center records its own way, boxes are packed without criteria, and shipments get stuck at customs for lack of a manifest. The result: supplies that don't arrive in time. Araguaney gets every center speaking the same language so aid can flow.

How we do it

📝

Item-level intake

Every donation is captured with category, batch and expiry, with quality rules that reject what doesn't comply.

📦

Homogeneous box with QR

One product, batch and expiry per box. QR and label printed on sealing: traceable end to end.

📋

Pallet and shipment with manifest

Boxes consolidate into pallets and shipments with an exportable packing list, customs-ready.

National dashboard

The stock of every connected center, added up in real time: what there is, how much, and where.

Standards we back

We don't invent criteria: we rely on open, internationally recognized standards so inventory is reliable and traceable.

  • WHOGuidelines for medicine donations (shelf life, INN, controlled substances).
  • IFRC / ICRCMaterials catalogue and specifications for non-food items.
  • IOMEmergency Relief Items Catalogue for emergency equipment.
  • UNSPSCStandard taxonomy of product categories.
  • GS1Barcodes / GTIN to validate products.

Privacy by design

Araguaney stores no personal data of donors or beneficiaries. It only manages inventory, traceable from box to shipment. Less sensitive-data surface, less risk, and a tool focused on what matters: getting aid delivered.

Open source and auditable

Araguaney's code is public and free, under the AGPL-3.0 license. Anyone can review how it works inside: that each center's inventory is isolated from the rest, and that no personal data of donors or beneficiaries is stored. That's the difference between asking you to trust us and giving you a way to verify it. And if this project ever stops, centers can keep running their own instance.

Who's behind it

Antony Delgado
Software Engineer, responsible for the platform behind AraguaneyLinkedIn ↗

I've spent over 20 years in technology as a software developer, solving concrete operational problems. Today I lead a global technology incident management department at an international company: systems that have to work when something breaks and people are waiting. Araguaney is built to that same standard.

Araguaney wasn't born in an office. It was born while organizing donations for Venezuela after the June 2026 earthquake, supporting several stages of the process. There I saw both sides: people giving everything to get aid to its destination, and logistics that jammed for lack of order (boxes packed without criteria, inventories on paper, and international shipping requirements impossible to meet in time). That energy deserves a tool to match. That's Araguaney, and it's free for whoever needs it.
Araguaney is free, and it will stay free.
No licenses, no box limits and no cost for collection centers or humanitarian coordination teams. The tool doesn't charge for putting aid in order.
