Epinova Action Pilot in design
Turn priority lists into field plans teams can execute.
Epinova Action is being designed to translate priorities into microplans - who goes where, with what, and when - and to track field delivery against the plan in near real time.
The problem
The gap between plan and field is where impact is lost.
Microplans are still commonly built in spreadsheets and on paper maps. Teams are assigned without a clear view of distance, terrain or stock. Once activities begin, supervisors have limited visibility of what has actually been completed until reports arrive days or weeks later.
- Microplanning is manual and slow to update
- Team and commodity allocation rarely reflects real constraints
- Supervisors lack timely visibility into field progress
- Activity completion is difficult to verify
Product overview
From target areas to verified activities.
Action is designed to generate draft microplans from prioritized areas, available teams and commodities, then let supervisors adjust them. Field teams receive clear assignments; supervisors see planned versus completed activities on a live operations view.
Verification signals - such as location-stamped check-ins and supervisor confirmation - are planned to strengthen confidence in reported coverage.

Example workflow
How the work flows
- 01
Plan
Priority areas, teams and stock are combined into a draft microplan.
- 02
Assign
Supervisors adjust and publish assignments to field teams.
- 03
Execute
Teams record activities; progress updates the operations view.
- 04
Verify
Supervisors confirm completion and flag gaps for follow-up.
Inputs and outputs

Intended users
Who it is for
Field supervisors
Practical plans that reflect real constraints.
Logistics officers
Visibility into stock against planned activity.
Programme managers
Timely confidence that work is being delivered.
Integrations
Works with the systems you already use
Integration scope is agreed with each partner; connectors marked “planned” are on the roadmap.
- Mobile data collection tools (e.g. ODK-compatible forms, planned)
- Logistics management systems (planned)
- Spreadsheet import
- Offline-tolerant field workflows (planned)
Low-bandwidth first
Designed for intermittent connectivity and lower-powered devices.
Minimal personal data
Field records focus on activities, not individuals, unless a programme requires otherwise under agreement.
Supervisor oversight
Automated plans are drafts for human review.
