How We Work

From Survey Design to Field Delivery

Every engagement follows a structured, documented workflow — giving programme teams full visibility at each stage.

1

Programme Intake

We review survey protocols, IU lists, and timeline requirements to fully understand the commodity scope before any procurement begins.

2

Budget & Procurement Plan

A detailed commodity budget with buffer quantities, lead times, freight costs and regulatory timelines is produced before any orders are placed.

3

Procurement & Import Prep

Purchase orders are placed, NAFDAC/import documentation initiated in parallel, cold-chain shipments booked, and QA lot review completed before goods depart.

4

Receipt, QA & Kitting

Goods are received and inspected against CoA specifications, cold-chain data is reviewed, and kits are assembled with full lot traceability per IU or field team.

5

Delivery & Close-Out

In-country distribution is coordinated, proof-of-delivery confirmed, and a full financial close-out with actual-vs-budget reconciliation is provided to the programme or donor.
