How many hours per week does your team spend sourcing supplies? If you manage a business in Nigeria, the honest answer is probably: too many. And those hours have a real cost.
The Real Cost of In-House Procurement
Consider what in-house procurement actually involves: calling multiple vendors, visiting markets, negotiating prices, following up on deliveries, inspecting goods on arrival, managing returns and replacements. For most SMEs, this work falls on senior staff — people whose time should be spent on the core business.
When you calculate the cost of staff time, transportation, failed negotiation outcomes, and substandard goods, in-house procurement often costs more than outsourcing — without delivering better results.

What You Pay vs. What You Save
IRORUN charges a transparent service fee — clearly stated in every quote. In most cases, our negotiated prices and time savings more than cover our fee, delivering a net financial benefit to our clients on top of hours reclaimed.
Who Should Consider Outsourcing?
Procurement outsourcing is especially valuable for:
- SMEs without a dedicated procurement department
- Project-based businesses (construction, events, medical) with variable supply needs
- Companies that frequently source from unfamiliar markets
- Businesses making first-time bulk purchases
