Supply chain

One desk
across the chain.

A shipment moves through a producer, a laboratory, a carrier, a weighbridge and a buyer, in a fixed order. Verve coordinates it so each step clears before the next — and you hear from one desk, not five.

  • Assay before loading, weighbridge at both ends, delivery confirmed.
  • One contact for producer, carrier and buyer.
  • Load-by-load status, with documents reconciled.
Boundaries

What stays
the same.

  • Verve does not take ownership of the material or stockpile it.
  • Verve is not the exporter of record; onward export is the buyer's.
  • Road transport only — Verve does not arrange rail.
  • Where Verve arranges the haul, responsibility for the load is set out in the transport terms, in writing.
Common questions

Trucks, ports
and responsibility.

Do you own the trucks?

No. Verve Africa arranges road transport through established trucking partners.

Can you arrange rail transport?

No. Verve Africa arranges road transport only and does not arrange rail.

Who is responsible for the load in transit?

It depends on how the haul is arranged: either the carrier's terms apply, or the transport terms Verve agrees with you in writing. Verve never takes ownership of the material.
