Value of Solvoz to Heads of Mission and Operational Directors
The challenges you face
As a Head of Mission (HoM) or Operational Director in our sector, you bear significant responsibility. You are at the very forefront of ensuring that the different working parts constituting your organisation’s mission are running efficiently, effectively and in alignment with your overarching strategy and mandate.
Your role therefore often involves juggling multiple complex and diverse needs within a challenging timeframe and with limited funding. Your responsibilities include ensuring that your secured budget match your operational needs and that any planned humanitarian, health or social impact programmes are quickly equipped with appropriate solutions.
Whilst fulfilling this essential role you witness firsthand the issues arising from high staff turnover, funding shortages and budget reporting obligations. You also encounter frequent challenges as a result of inadequate intra-organisational communication due to time and operational constraints. This includes the problems caused by the procurement of unsuitable solutions that fail to insufficiently consider local needs or meet required technical specifications.
Therefore, as a HoM or Operational Director in our industry, you seek to maximize the impact of your programmes through the efficient and effective usage of the limited resources you have at hand. You likely possess an understanding of the importance of our supply chains, but are less likely to be directly involved in procurement and its execution. You do however acknowledge the need for procurement methods that emphasise the centrality of local knowledge and context-specific requirements to achieving improved efficacy and efficiency.
Moreover, given the challenges inherent to your role, you recognise the potential value of innovative digital tools that can facilitate improved intra-organisational communication and more efficient supply chains.
So how can Solvoz support HoMs and Operational Directors?
In this demanding landscape of leadership in which you operate, our platform can become a reliable and valuable ally for you, your team and your wider organisation.
With features such as our Dynamic Kit Builder and committed team of industry experts, Solvoz enables your logistical colleagues to identify and define the exact technical specifications of any required solutions. This information is then seamlessly communicated to your procurement department as a high-quality digital dossier that can be used to source fully compliant solutions via our vast network of local, regional and international suppliers. This emphasis on a fairer global marketplace and the importance of localisation also contributes to the strengthening of local market assessments and procurement capacity.
Solvoz is also compliant to all donor rules and regulations that are applicable to procurement, and provides your financial colleagues with the necessary audit trail documentation to effectively promote your organisation’s financial transparency. Additionally, we also provide your organisation with a system to implement supplier qualification and vetting.
In helping to alleviate the demands on your mission’s budget and ensure that all personnel have the necessary equipment and knowledge to fulfil their roles competently, we can support you to optimise resource allocation and maximise the impact and efficiency of your organisation’s mission.
