Logistics Built for Humanitarian Impact
Introducing HELM – Our Flagship Logistics Software
Humanitarian Enterprise Logistics Manager
For nearly four decades, Humanitarian Software has been dedicated to advancing global supply chain management with a singular focus—supporting humanitarian aid organizations. Through this commitment, we have set the gold standard in logistics technology, culminating in our flagship SaaS platform: HELM.
HELM was built from the ground up to meet the unique and evolving needs of nonprofits, NGOs, and disaster relief organizations around the world. Its modular design and high degree of configurability empower organizations to adapt the system to their exact requirements—whether managing Gift In Kind donations, navigating complex donor restrictions, or ensuring compliance with strict pharmaceutical DSCSA regulations.
From advanced warehouse management and barcoding to international shipping, last-mile distribution, donor reporting, and real-time analytics, HELM brings every aspect of humanitarian logistics under one powerful, unified solution. The result is greater efficiency, transparency, and oversight—helping organizations focus on what matters most: delivering aid where it is needed most.
