Infopulse Response to COVID-19
Since March 2020, Infopulse has been actively helping our specialists and local communities to handle the extraordinary situation we find ourselves in and adapt to the new conditions. In line with the Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, Infopulse response to COVID-19 encompassed a range of projects and initiatives, intended to contribute to the global effort.
Infopulse Works from Home
Days after the quarantine announcement in Ukraine in March 2020, Infopulse prepared its internal IT infrastructure ensuring the continuity of our services, and transitioned more than 2,000 specialists to the remote working model. As we value our experts’ comfort, health, and safety, Infopulse assisted them in creating efficient home workspaces and embraced work-from-home as a long-term approach: we prolonged the distant work mode till September 2020. Discover how Infopulse transitioned to working from home in our new article.
Besides, to help businesses successfully shift to the remote working model, Infopulse translated our own experience into a dedicated service offering and a comprehensive checklist with a step-by-step guide on how to efficiently organize the transition.
Returning Infopulse Specialists Home
The official quarantine announcement in Ukraine caught a number of our Infopulse experts abroad. In a matter of a week, 30 of our colleagues were brought back home from business trips in the US, Japan, Poland, and Norway.
Besides, Infopulse Travel Desk service organized an urgent return for seven specialists that struggled to come home from their holidays in distant locations, including Nepal, Bolivia, and the Seychelles Islands (original stories available in Ukrainian and Russian).
Travel Desk specialists kept in touch with the colleagues abroad 24/7, communicated with the State Migration Service, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to accelerate the process. Thanks to their dedication, all Infopulse experts came back home safe and sound within the shortest possible time. Discover the full story (in Ukrainian).
Infopulse Health Truck Project
The Health Truck Project aims to help Ukrainian hospitals and medical workers who are at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19. Our specialists joined efforts with the charity fund “Children of Hope and Love” to provide physicians with personal protective equipment and medical facilities. As of June, our specialists gathered UAH 760K. Infopulse, as a responsible business, allocated a budget of $40K to support the Health Truck Project.
During the first stage, the project focused on hospitals in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, where the second largest Infopulse office is located. Medical staff were provided with:
- 2,000 respirators;
- 1,000 protective suits;
- 1,000 isolation gowns;
- 100 protective shields.
80 more protective shields were sent to Irpin, Kyiv Oblast.
Later on, the funds were directed to Chernivtsi Oblast — the region with one of the highest transmission dynamics of COVID-19 in Ukraine. As of June, Infopulse experts and the charity fund provided a local hospital with two oxygen concentrators with a total cost of UAH 110K.
Infopulse persists with the Health Truck Project activities in the effort to further assist medical staff.

Corporate Transfer Advisor Solution
With quarantine restrictions on public transport, a pharma industry leader with 1,000+ employees launched a corporate worker transfer project. To support the company’s business continuity plan, the enterprise required a solution that would analyze HR-related data and advise routes for car-owner employees to pick up workers without cars.
Infopulse developed and implemented an application based on Azure Maps, Power BI, and SharePoint Online. With its help, the company’s employees are able to plan their way to and from work safely avoiding public transport.

In April 2020, the joint project of Infopulse and TietoEVRY made to the finals of the all-Ukrainian #HackCorona hackathon. The eID solution, suggested by our experts, is designed to provide citizens with digital certificates for travel access control during and after COVID-19 quarantine, consolidated on a single platform.

The Telegram Bot
To help Ukrainian citizens adapt to the lockdown, Infopulse chatbot development experts created a Telegram bot to monitor delivery slots in a range of local supermarkets. @zakaz_ua_bot helps organize delivery and notifies about a free slot, which allows for simpler and faster order placement during peak loads at retail stores.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is having a dramatic impact on the world, Infopulse strives to put in all the efforts to minimize negative effects, support our clients, specialists, and healthcare workers. We continue developing our Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy to address emerging issues and overcome them.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. #stayhome
