RFQs, compliance checks, quote comparison, and ordering—built for mining procurement.
Cross-border mining deals in Africa are repeatedly derailed by a lack of trust and transparency between buyers and sellers. Every negotiation turns into an improvised due-diligence exercise — costly, slow, and risky.
Buyers insist on Documentary Letters of Credit (DLCs) instead of escrow or advance payments, reflecting deep mistrust of African counterparties. Many Tier 1 banks refuse to confirm LCs issued by local African banks, labelling them high-risk.
Each deal requires manual vetting of “proof of product,” mining licenses, and past performance. This fragmented process leads to errors, delays, and fraud exposure.
Parties cannot agree on acceptable financial instruments or proof standards, even commercially sound deals collapse before reaching execution.
