Life-saving supply plans are too importantto live in spreadsheets.
Vista helps ministries of health, national programs, central medical stores, humanitarian teams, and global health partners manage critical commodities — including contraceptives, antiretrovirals, diagnostics, vaccines, PPE, nutrition products, and relief supplies.
Vista turns fragmented forecasts, stock reports, shipment updates, procurement plans, partner inputs, and funding constraints into supply decisions teams can explain, approve, and act on.
Vista reduces the time between “the plan changed” and “we know what decision to make.”
The problem
The data exists. The national supply decision is still manual.
Ministries of health and national programs already work with forecasts, LMIS reports, DHIS2 data, warehouse balances, procurement plans, donor budgets, supplier updates, shipment schedules, partner spreadsheets, and facility reports.
But when demand shifts, funding changes, shipments slip, or stock risks appear, teams still chase data across files, systems, emails, meetings, and partner updates to answer basic questions:
What is the latest national forecast?
Which regions, districts, facilities, or programs are exposed?
Where is stock sitting, and what is already committed?
Which shipments are late, uncertain, or underfunded?
Where do we risk stockout or expiry?
Can we reallocate, expedite, delay, substitute, ration, or procure?
What changed from the last plan, and who reviewed the decision?
The result is slow planning cycles, inconsistent assumptions, emergency requests, avoidable stockouts, preventable expiries, and decisions that are hard to explain across government, donors, procurement agents, and implementing partners.
Quantification is one of the most important parts of health-product procurement and supply management. UNDP notes that underestimating needs can lead to insufficient supply, stockouts, and patient treatment disruption, while overestimating can waste resources and increase expiry risk. (UNDP)
The shift
From scattered program signals to country-owned supply decisions.
Vista brings fragmented demand, supply, inventory, procurement, funding, shipment, and country-level signals into one governed planning workflow.
National teams can see what is at risk, what supply is actually available, which demand is covered, where gaps remain, what options exist, who needs to review or approve, and what action was agreed.
Less reconciliation. Faster coordination. Decisions ministries and partners can defend together.

What Vista does
How Vista builds the plan.
See program risk
Identify stockout, expiry, funding, shipment, and coverage risks across products, programs, regions, districts, facilities, partners, and time.
Calculate coverage
Estimate future coverage using forecasts, usable stock, open orders, shipment schedules, lead times, commitments, funding constraints, and country-level demand.
Compare options
Evaluate actions such as procure, expedite, delay, reallocate, substitute, ration, rebalance, or escalate.
Govern the decision
Capture evidence, assumptions, reviewers, approvals, plan changes, and final actions in a durable planning record.
Global health commodity planning requires more than a forecast. USAID/GHSC quantification guidance frames the work as estimating commodity needs and costs, identifying funding gaps, and planning procurements and shipment delivery schedules to sustain supply. (USAID/GHSC)
Works with the systemscountries and partners already use.
Vista does not replace LMIS platforms, DHIS2, ERP systems, warehouse systems, procurement tools, donor reporting platforms, visibility networks, or partner spreadsheets. Existing systems remain the source of record. Vista sits above them as the planning and decision layer — turning fragmented data into a plan national teams and partners can review, approve, and execute.

Vista: the governed planning layer
Turns fragmented data into forecasts, supply plans, and decisions teams can trace, explain, approve, and update.
Traceable planning record
Audit trail
Implementation
Start with one program, product family, or country set.
Vista can begin with available exports, planning files, country reports, and read-only data feeds.
A focused pilot can start with one commodity group; a small set of countries, regions, or programs; existing forecasts and supply plans; inventory and shipment data; procurement and funding constraints; known lead times and supplier assumptions; and the current review and approval process.
- No rip-and-replace.
- No need to standardize every country first.
- No major system integration required to begin.
- Works with Excel, CSV, reports, and read-only feeds.
- Minimal sensitive data where the planning use case allows.
Vista starts where the planning pain is highest and the data is already available.
Governance
Built for country-owned, high-consequence decisions.
Commodity decisions affect service delivery, patient continuity, national targets, donor confidence, and scarce public resources. Vista is built for governed planning: source lineage, visible assumptions, versioned forecasts, plan-difference tracking, role-based review, human approval, decision history, audit trails, and clear separation between AI assistance and committed supply decisions.
Evidence national teams can trace
Source data, assumptions, calculations, and plan changes remain visible.
People own the decision
Ministry teams, program managers, central medical stores, procurement leads, donors, and partners can review the evidence before action is committed.
History that holds
Every approved plan carries a record of what changed, who reviewed it, and why the decision was made.
Vista helps ministries and partners move faster without losing accountability.
The Global Fund's procurement and supply management guidance covers a broad set of health products — including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, PPE, devices, laboratory items, syringes, condoms, and other consumables — and makes recipients accountable for compliant procurement and supply management, even when procurement agents or other implementers are involved.

Turn fragmented planning cycles into coordinated supply decisions.
Know where demand is changing.
Know where supply is exposed.
Know what action to take.
Know why the plan changed.
Know who approved it.
Vista helps national programs and their partners make supply decisions they can stand behind — protecting service delivery, coordinating scarce resources, and preserving the reasoning behind every approved plan.
