GEMS mobile is the mobile app that can be installed on Android devices and is intended to facilitate the annual physical count.
The app can work offline and enables Country Offices to create or update WFP assets in GEMS or simply to view an asset’s information directly on the app. When the app is used on a mobile device equipped with a camera, it will enable CO to perform the physical count by scanning the inventory labels and/or the manufacturer serial numbers. Based on the work order type the app will know if a physical count is being carried out so as to tag the record with date and time of count.
