In Mexico, collection centers multiply after every emergency: in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara and dozens more. Araguaney gives them a common standard to register in-kind donations, pack them well, and prepare shipments that meet the rules, no matter which city they operate from.
In Mexico, medicines are identified and regulated through COFEPRIS. For a medicine donation to be usable and shippable, it needs proper identification: legible name (INN), batch and expiry, and enough remaining shelf life. Araguaney captures that at item-level intake and applies WHO rules (minimum shelf life, blocking of controlled substances) at the moment of receipt, so what's sealed is already identified and compliant.
When aid crosses a border, the customs authority (SAT) needs to quickly verify what each package contains. A poorly documented shipment gets stuck. Araguaney generates the manifest / packing list automatically from each shipment's homogeneous boxes and pallets, with recognized classification (IFRC/ICRC, UNSPSC): what customs needs to verify contents without opening every box.
