IPA Procurement Cycle 

 
Planning:
 Through the first step of our 6-step approach to supply chain management, we consider the unique requirements of each project to tailor comprehensive proposals that meet the needs of various programs. 
 
Procurement:  
  We offer creative solutions that offer the best value for our clients by
cross-checking pricing and availability, in order to maximize the available budget while meeting project deadlines.
 
Administrative Operations: 
  We adopt executive tasks, throughout the project life cycle, enabling our clients to focus on mission-critical issues.
 
Pre-Shipment Services: 
  Our on-site, consolidation warehouse utilizes a detailed inventory system for receiving, completes equipment inspections, and packages goods in accordance with our high standards for quality control.
 
Logistical Solutions: 
   IPA determines the most efficient and economic modes of transport, based on project-specific factors.  
 
After-Sales Support: 
  After delivery, we work to maintain long-term project goals by facilitating manufacturer warranty coverage and providing spare parts/ replacement suggestions to meet the needs of aging equipment.
