Initially a procurement agency only, AIL maintains the same integrity towards its services today as it has in the past. We do not represent or ally ourselves with manufacturers or suppliers - we act solely in the best interest of the client and supply only the most appropriate equipment for the client's needs.
With more than 18 years of experience behind us, AIL is fully familiar with the procurement procedures and requirements of the great majority of AID and multi-lateral lending agencies. To insure the smooth running of a project, we always supply regular status reports to both funding agency and client.
AIL professional ability and international experience gives us the edge and flexibility where it really counts - enabling us to handle projects of any type or size.
AIL has gained extensive experience in international trade as a natural progression from providing procurement services. Using our knowledge of both products and markets, we provide trade services on commercial terms and the keystone of our business is the ability to supply quality products at the most competitive prices. Our expertise extends to providing structured financial packages tailored to suit customer's requirements.
Counter-Trade is also an AIL strength. In simple terms, counter-trade is a highly sophisticated form of barter where, due to a lack of conventional financial options, an exchange of commodities is arranged - often between more than two parties.
AIL has the necessary versatility and in-depth knowledge of international business methods to design and negotiate creative packages to suit most circumstances or prevailing regulations.
Efficient use of both transport and communications is the cornerstone of AIL services. Our Transport Division has extensive experience in moving goods door-to-door, worldwide. All goods are inspected, packed to specification and full inventory is provided.
We provide insurance coverage on all goods handled by the company and we consider that a transaction is only complete when the customer confirms safe receipt of goods.
AIL has an extensive network of road and sea freight agents on long term contracts to ensure smooth movement of goods in international transit. Using the most up-to- date communications equipment, our staff keep customers regularly informed of progress via our database system, until final delivery of goods to their designated receiving point.
