From Dar to Dodoma, one governed operation

Inventory

Goods in transit as a state, not a gap

A transfer is confirmed on receipt rather than on despatch, so the six days between Dar and the depot are visible instead of being a discrepancy somebody reconciles at month end. Each depot holds its own position and head office sees all of them.

Stock transfers

Van load-outs that reconcile the same night

The load leaves as a movement with an owner, sales come off it during the round, and the variance is per route and per driver at close. A shortfall becomes a conversation on Tuesday rather than a suspicion in the quarter.

Landed cost

The inland leg costed onto the goods it moved

Duty, clearing, port charges and the road freight upcountry attach to the consignment as their invoices arrive — weeks after the stock does — and the unit cost moves each time. A margin set from the supplier invoice alone is wrong by the whole cost of the corridor.

Procurement

Four documents that stop living in four places

The tender minute, the quotes, the delivery note and the invoice against one transaction, with the approval threshold refusing rather than warning. The audit file exists because the work created it.

Assets

Fleet and equipment with a custodian per item

Named custodian, movement between zones, condition at every hand-off, and a calendar service schedule that opens its own work order. No fuel log and no distance held anywhere — so fuel-per-kilometre is not something this register can answer and we will not imply otherwise.

Offline operations

Capture that does not need the corridor to have coverage

Receipts, counts, custody and job time recorded with no signal and synced on return — the design centre rather than an adaptation, because it was built for exactly these distances.
