Stock management activity is very complex in Ivory Coast as many importers and exporters self-manage their commodity storage and security.
Market Issues
There are opportunities for these companies to benefit from an independent third party, such as SGS, by putting in place systems to trace and inspect goods throughout the supply chain, thereby minimizing trading, transportation, storage and transactional risk.
Stock Operations
We have several large stock management clients, for which the service provided can be customized depending on the situation on the ground. This ranges from periodic inspections to continuous monitoring – depending upon the client's needs.
Our solutions also involve the witnessing of the movement, care and condition of commodities being stored to ensure that damage, loss or other issues are identified as quickly as possible and remedial actions taken promptly.
Local Expertise
Our own full-time employees are responsible for undertaking the day-to-day stock management for Ivorian customers. They are highly trained and have in-depth experience of the activity gained over many years.
Client Benefits
Our stock management services in Ivory Coast deliver:
- Daily presence of SGS staff (which helps minimize/eliminate fraudulent activity)
