Key points
- Field visit records should start before departure.
- Supervisors need one place to see active trips and overdue check-ins.
- Incident notes should be linked to the approved trip.
- Reports should support donor, safety, and management review.
The NGO reality
NGO teams often travel to communities where roads, network, and local context can change quickly.
Relying only on WhatsApp and memory creates weak evidence when an incident or donor review happens later.
Minimum record set
Record destination, purpose, staff, supervisor, route notes, transport, expected return, check-in interval, support contact, incident notes, and closure.
This creates a movement trail without overcomplicating field work.
Where Travo helps NGOs
Travo gives NGOs a structured way to approve field visits, document check-ins, capture incidents, and export audit packs.
