In addition, Solviz enables open access knowledge and technical capacity for all through an open access catalog. Solviz provides access to over 400,000 suppliers worldwide. Thank you for the introduction and being invited here and to the previous presenters. My name is Claire. I am the founder and CEO of Solviz. We are a procurement platform as well as a collaboration platform supporting agencies worldwide with procurement processes. I worked for many years with MSF in supply chain logistics and I will talk about procurement today, which most of you think might be extremely boring because procurement is not the most sexy subject, but it is actually one of the key expenditure of any NGO working in humanitarian aid. And the reason why we set up Solviz is that we see needs rising globally and funding isn't going up in the same pace. Last year, we were only able to cover 55 of the UN Global Appeals for the most urgent humanitarian needs globally. So what we have looked at is making sure that the money that we do have to be spent as efficiently and as effectively as possible. And with procurement activities being over 65% of any humanitarian budget, that's why we focus on procurement and try to make it as efficient and specifically as effective as possible. Solviz is a procurement platform, so that's the second platform, but the first platform, so we have an integrated solutions with two entities, which the solutions catalog is maintained by the Solviz Foundation, where we provide open access knowledge for everybody. And we help to think through, if you have a need, for example, for light, you don't a generator because that's equal power, but you actually go to the use case and you have criteria your technical specifications so you don't need to be a technical specialist to procure the most efficient solutions. We integrate this with a procurement platform. The tenders and request for quotations are generated automatically, all compliant to donor rules and regulations. And those are sent out automatically already to the suppliers in the database, which are currently over 400,000. So this is the platform. If you go to solviz.com, this is what you will see if you have an account you can sign in. You can browse through. You can also Google. So I'll give a mass vaccination solution as an example. So this is a solution for a mass vaccination site. We give a description. We show all the information from an operational perspective, you need to know how it scales, etc. We show all the items. This is a kit that are in such a kid to in order to respond and set up a vaccination campaign. And then you know that all the products in such a kid, like this vaccine carrier is fit for purpose. There's dozens of vaccine carriers but how do you know which one to select to be fit for purpose. And then you have the requirements to support the logisticians as well as operational staff as much as possible with the full lifecycle of the full path on such a campaign. And most importantly, we also add prerequisites. So what do you need to have in place in order to set up a vaccination campaign you don't need only the renewal of the supplies but you also need to know that allergic reactions can take place. So if you're not prepared for a allergic reactions, you can actually go to the next kids and you can add this to your basket. If you've added to your basket you can collaborate on multiple baskets with your team if you're a small NGO, we would like to give you the same procurement capacity as any massive NGO out there. If you work with multiple projects you can have multiple baskets and collaborate with as many colleagues as you want. You can create your basket. You can modify. You can prepare your tender so this is the second workflow, we're actually done with proof the full procurement process for you. This is not direct procurement and it's not donations. This is when you need to find the right supplies for the right price, because when you receive donor money. You have to comply into the rules and regulations around procurement and getting quotations in so that's the step where we're in when you need to source for the best price for the best ways to get them and get them to you at the best lead time. So there's a lot of steps in between where we guide you there's all free material in it. You can send out yours. You will see a dashboard that you can monitor how many supplies have a better interest how many bits your proceeds, but you will not be able to open those up because for accountability and transparency reasons. When due time has passed you can do your supply qualification. You can know your bit analysis, and you can actually proceed to procuring for a good price with efficient and effective processes in place. This can my call to action for you if you need any help with procurement and I know this was extremely fast. I offer a demo with more lengthy explanation of course after this session if you want. If you don't know the market, or if you don't have a technical specialist at hand we are always out there for you to help. And I'll just be super thankful to hear from you and wish you all the best in all the operations you do globally.
