Case Study Kilwa Beach Lodge

Goal

Kilwa Beach Lodge, situated in a remote location in East Africa, required a procurement service tailored to its unique needs. With limited transportation options and a reliance on bus and truck deliveries due to the absence of air services, the goal was to establish a reliable supply chain for fresh fruits and vegetables. Over a span of five years, the objective was to streamline the procurement process, ensuring consistent and timely deliveries to meet the lodge’s culinary requirements.

Approach

We developed an internet-based ordering system specifically designed for Kilwa Beach Lodge to facilitate seamless communication and ordering processes. Understanding the logistical challenges of the remote location, our approach focused on optimizing delivery routes and coordinating with local suppliers to ensure the timely sourcing and delivery of fresh produce. By leveraging technology and establishing strong partnerships within the region, we aimed to provide a reliable procurement solution tailored to the lodge’s requirements.

Results

The implementation of the internet-based ordering system revolutionized the procurement process for Kilwa Beach Lodge, enhancing efficiency and reliability. Despite the logistical hurdles posed by the remote location, our streamlined approach resulted in consistent and timely deliveries of fresh fruits and vegetables. Over the course of five years, the lodge benefitted from a reliable supply chain, ensuring that their culinary offerings consistently met the expectations of their guests, thereby solidifying their reputation for quality and excellence.
