Sourcing

Finding a reliable and high quality supplier at a low price can be problematic for small to medium-sized businesses particularly if they have no local network in the country from which they are sourcing their goods. We do the leg work for your business.

Purchasing

Arranging the purchase of goods can present numerous problems including when to pay, assurance goods will be delivered, currency rate fluctuations, inspection of goods before payments are made. We conduct all these functions seamlessly.

Logistics

Logistics of goods is critical to the process. Poor logistics planning can lead to goods being lost in transit, additional storage costs when goods are not moved on time, goods decay or damage. We create logistic plans that protect your goods.

What they’ve said about us

We have used APG’s procurement service now for 2 years and we are happy with the quality of service we receive each time. They are professional and always notify us if there are any changes in dates etc. We recommend their services to anyone who requires a purchasing agent. Thanks guys.

Africa Procurement Group has to date referred 6 clients to us all with an interest in purchasing our solar panels. We have completed purchases with 2 of them and they both have returned for repeat business. APG knows African markets very well and they get the deals done.

We have received excellent service from APG. They referred a geographical surveyor for our mines who has since conducted various tests and surveys. We have received investors because of the reports he made. APG surprised us because they not only source goods, but they can source services also. Great work all round.

APG structured the who transaction for us. They sourced goods from 3 suppliers and we chose our preferred supplier. They then negotiated on price and made all the payments on our behalf. They negotiated a great rate on FOREX and they also arranged all the logistics including local courier. We recommend APG.
