SOURCING EMERGENCY-SUPPLIES IS A CHALLENGE

As an aid-organisation you want to focus all your time and resources on helping people on the ground. Especially in times of crisis, access to emergency-supplies should be swift and efficient.

​

In today's industrialised global society, there is more availability and more production-capacity than ever before. Unfortunately, at the same time distance, difference in culture and language make it harder than ever to find and establish trusted partners.

HOW IOCR CAN HELP

Although global in nature, IOCR is first and foremost a membership network where buyers and suppliers of emergency-supplies can swiftly and safely transact with each other because all members are pre-qualified and control-mechanisms are in place to enable rapid and effective trading and distribution or vital supplies on a global scale.

​

Since aid-organisations are mainly 'buyers' on the IOCR platform, these are some of the key benefits:
 

  • Instant global purchasing at fair market prices

  • Verified suppliers and third-party quality-control guarantee risk-free buying

  • Responsible suppliers and charitable organisations donate emergency supplies to members of IOCR

  • To simplify sourcing and distribution, IOCR establishes partnerships with service providers such as freight-forwarders, insurance companies, banks... many of them experienced in disaster-relief

​

By centralising all services related to crisis-response procurement, organisations:
 

  • Don't need in-house international sourcing expertise

  • Save significant time because of the simplified purchase process

  • Face less risks of dealing with fraudulent vendors

  • Minimise the risks of buying faulty, non-compliant goods

  • Are protected against unfair competition and 'bullying' by more powerful buyers

  • Get access to prices and supplies otherwise only available to large volume buyers

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS FOR IOCR-MEMBERS

IN QUOTES

"My hat is really off to the IOCR team!  The resources and capabilities you are pulling together in short order are truly amazing.  I wish you all the best and stand prepared to help if there is any way I might be of service."

David SHERMAN, USA

​

"IOCR is a very sophisticated and practical platform to support the world in this time of crisis. Led by Ief Winckelmans and his team it is something you must see!

Thanks for this worthwhile endeavour."

Luis GOMEZ, Mexico

​

"This is what I have been asking for.  It surprises me that neither of the big IGO's seem to be moving into this space -- but if a non-profit private sector entity is ready to step up and occupy this void, I'd say adelante!"
