About Us

Developed by and for our sectors, Solvoz offers a robust e-procurement platform and sourcing technology with integrated open-access catalogue and knowledge base. We support aid, health, and other impact organisations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and impact of their supply chains.

Overview

Over the past decade, demand for humanitarian assistance and equitable access to local healthcare has consistently increased.

Faced with limited resources, organisations are increasingly expected to achieve greater impact without a corresponding rise in funding, forcing them to do more with the same. 

Challenges

​With procurement activities accounting for approximately 65% of humanitarian agency budgets, enhancing procurement efficiency can not only increase our impact but also directly contributes to bridging the funding gap.

Additional challenges to procurement in our sector include fragmented market data and knowledge, inconsistent product quality, time-sensitive demands, and stringent compliance requirements, all of which can hinder the efficiency and effectiveness of our supply chains.

Our Origin

Having witnessed firsthand the challenges of quickly and responsibly sourcing lifesaving goods throughout our extensive work in humanitarian aid and global health, the different members of our came together looking to help address these obstacles.

Recognising a critical gap in the market for a streamlined and sustainability-focused procurement system, we built Solvoz to meet these needs while ensuring compliance with donor and funder regulations.

How Solvoz helps

Solvoz is a comprehensive digital solution designed to address the inefficiencies in sourcing and spending we’ve encountered throughout our extensive experience in the sector.

We equip organisations with knowledge and innovative digital technology to drive greater efficiency, transparency, and impact across local and global supply chains.

Our Mission

Solvoz provide supporting technology that strengthens supply chains where they matter most, making them fair, localised and resilient.

We support aid, health and impact organisations to increase the efficiency and impact of their procurement spending, so that limited resources go further, responsibly.
